Ay.
Within the next three days my mother and I are undoubtedly joining a gym to get in shape! Yay! I'm excited as, I do quote the Disney movie 'Cars', "A tornado in a trailer park." but... I'm scared. When I think 'gym' I think of beautiful perfect people in an unshakable world, with perfect people looking down on me for being out-of-shape, and perfect people telling me exactly what to do, and being frustrated and judgemental when I don't do it right. I'm the paranoid type that feels all eyes are always on me, and I'm just scared for some reason... Can anyone help me get over this unfounded fear? Of course there's always the typical, "What's it matter what others think?! you're there for yourself!" But that phrase is easier said than put into action. Help peeze? ![]() ![]() I have the voices of a million encouragements driving me, but the shyness is my problem. |

Aww.
I agree with what everyone has already mentioned, but I'll just reinforce the truth of the matter: people are seriously in their own worlds, just caring about their OWN body. Sure, people glance up and look around once in a while (I love to look around and see if there's anyone there I know), but then they go back to focusing on themselves. If you have an i-pod or some other listening device, it's definitely helpful because you can focus on something else :) Just try your best to think confidence ![]() |
