Do you talk to the people you often see at your local gym? I keep to myself but I did talk to someone and they were cool. However, you miss 1 day of saying, “hey” cuz some days you just want to keep to yourself or its a rough day and that person suddenly doesn’t want anything to do with you😂. Like damn bro who hurt you?

I get it 😂 but you should still at least say hey and maybe say you're not in a talking mood. It's a bit humiliating saying hey to someone for them not to reply. A bit of a rejection. A lot goes through peoples heads and you never know until you speak to them.

But if someone doesn't say hey back, I don't automatically assume it's personal either. Everyone has their off days. But not everyone has the confidence not to take it personally or the emotional inteligence to try to understand you're having an off day. Sooooo... it's just way more simple to say hey back even if you don't feel like it ig

I find this so confusing as well. How much talking is acceptable? I’ve also had the opposite happen where we had some light chat like twice and then she started following me around the gym for my sessions. I knew I needed a new gym when she chilled on the exercise bike next to mine and talked me through her skin routine for a full 30 minutes while I biked/went into cardiac arrest next to her 💀

@vitra no no! Thank you for sharing! Gotta hear all the perspectives! Even the ones who I may not agree with. I don’t go up to people to chat at my gyms but when people come up to me I’ll chat and be friendly but some days are rough or your feeling a bit down and just wana get your workout in and leave. But like you said some people take it personally if you skip 1 check in haha. Its truly an interesting thing

@anseo omg I think I would of just told them, “well it’s been nice chatting ✌️” if they followed me I’d just leave haha. But yes there is an interesting difference when gym goers chat at the gym. Some keep it quick (love that) but man others will tell you their life story and it’s like “oookay I’m here to workout.” Its rough out there!

I see so many people on a daily basis and we’ve never spoken to each other ? I didn’t even know this was a thing ! I always wondered how people became friends at the gym at all. But even this doesn’t sound like friends. Just cordial

The moral of the story is to never engage with members of the public ever

“you show someone you don’t want anything to do with them and all of a sudden they don’t want anything to do with you”. no shade, just pointing out that when we have boundaries, they need to be communicated. sure the other person can give us the benefit of the doubt, but is it 100% on them when we just expect them to know how we feel without communication?

@findingjoshua 100% about communication. Just kinda interesting how people take things. I think everyone has their days of just wanting to keep to themselves. Interesting to see people’s reactions haha
