You ever feel uncomfortable or like you are being watched/ leered at by the men?
I joined the gym a couple of months ago and force myself to go 3 x a week but I am beginning to really hate it.
I am a pretty paranoid and self-conscious person anyway really which doesn’t help but the whole time I’m in there I feel like men are gawping, I promise this isn’t an ‘I’m up my own arse and think everyone fancies me’ post, but I do feel them staring and I then get paranoid that I look like a total pleb on the cross trainer or something.
I thought to myself the other day ‘You’re just being paranoid, don’t be ridiculous’ but then last night a man passed me to leave and as he did, literally stopped, looked me up and down and then winked at me and walked out. WTAF?! It’s a gym, not a nightclub, AIBU to think I should be able to exercise and use the gym I’m paying for without being subjected to leery perving?! If I wasn’t self-conscious before then I bloody am now!
It’s just making me feel really uncomfortable and self-conscious and it’s getting harder to force myself to go.
I can’t be the only self-conscious female gym goer surely? Do you just block it out and get on with it?
