Why does everyone in the gym want to talk to you?

[Hopeofmypeople]

For real though I ain't got time to be all social and shyt I want to do my workout and bounce. You have nikkas and Cacs coming up to you trying to make friends and shyt like its a social club. Its got to a point where I walk around mean mugging people so as I don't come across all approachable .

I keep a business like approach to training headphones, hoodie and water bottle. Just head nods when I walk past. I do see people who think it's social hour and be camped out on equipment just talking and laughing fukking up how I arranged my sets for that day.

I have my headphones in all the time, sometimes you have people come up and tap me for a spot and other times it's to ask how many sets I have left. So I have to pull out my headphones to see what they want and from there they try and initiate a conversation "yo how long you been coming here" etc...

IDK but I always find myself helping older people. A few weeks ago some old lady was just staring at the smith machine because some dumbfuk left six 45 plates on it. I ask her if she wants me to remove the plates and she says yes. After I removed all of the plates, she just stares at it for 3 minutes and heads straight to the cardio section. I wasn't even mad.

Thought I was the only one. I'll have on headphones and whole 9 hit them with the it's usually cacs. After the second time I have no fukks to give. I think everywhere in life it's people trying to stop your progress no matter how good or innocent there intentions may be. That's when I enter beast mode

It's not that serious tho.

Do I think people intentionally make a conscious effort to purposely hinder you in the gym no not really.

Some dudes I swear I like females like a chick asking another chick are you going to wear that? It's sneek dissing to hinder someone's flow. Subconsciously I do think some dudes jelly of your gains try to hinder your reps if you see me working FOH. The universe will test how bad you want anything. I've just never been a person to see someone with headphones on enjoying they work out and think let me go pester him with my daily concerns then again I'm not on that white privelidge thinking everyone must be concerned with me it has to be a genetically ingrained character trait

headphones on all the time, no glasses in the gym so i get the 100 mile stare, tunnelvision, only nod to the regulars who feel like me & eying the bytches when they don't look and from the side of the eye
