Hey guys, first time poster here.
My friend is trying to get me to get a membership at the local gym with him. I suffer anxiety and he said it'd be good to go, just to get my mind off shit.
Can anyone here confirm whether it's a good idea or not?
Do it faggot

Local gym? Someone may know you! Even if they don't, you'll be the newcomer - the fluffy, weak, newcomer. And they will all judge you and talk about you behind your back! Inside and outside of the gym!
If I were you I'd go "cocoon" mode and constantly compliment myself on my brave segregation with regular chocolate treats. Damn, you need some rewarding motivation after all!
You just need to develop a healthy contempt for your fellow man. Once you realise that the entire spectrum of human behaviour is driven by fear; that all those people are scared little child brains looking for ways to hide their insecurities and lonliness, your anxiety will melt away.

Start work outs at home then progress to the gym.
No need to look like a fool.

>better cocoon yourself, it will surely works!
nobody gives a flying fuck in the gym and you have no reason to worry about what gymbros may or may not think (btw, only positive things if a fatty seriously works out)
Hiding from the real world is never a solution and it will always hold you back.

Anxiety is generally caused by excessive stress from raised cortisol levels in the brain and body. Working out helps relieve some stress and over time can help to regulate anxiety. It's not a cure but it helps. Also useful for depression and other disorders. Also eat right, see a therapist.

>Anxiety is a good thing, i read it in a book unlike you faggot

There's no reason to worry at all.
Go ahead and do it and keep at it. Probably will help with your anxiety.
You will be so fucking glad, that you started.

Nobody gives a shit about you anywhere and it's selfish to think that they do. You're just another stranger.
