How can I get over my embarrassment of going outside? I want to start running, but I don't really want my neighbors to see. I know that it's stupid, but how can I get over this?
I feel like I look stupid when I run.
I feel like people will think "wow what is this faggot trying to do"
I don't know why
I am fine with riding my bicycle or walking, but just not running/jogging.
The only real answer? Just do it.
I have the same thing OP. I just do it anyway though. No other choice. It gets better after the first time.

I was in the same boat as you. If you can, run early or late. Then once you have some decent cardio built up, you won't feel like a dildo stopping for rest breaks every 100 yards.

Thanks for the input. I'll try running late at night, that sounds pretty nice. I had a feeling that I'd have to get used to it. I guess it's the same as everything, the first time is the hardest.

330lb fat ham. I started running through the creek run track behind my apartment complex and desu I was in a different world altogether to even give a shit about anyone's opinion. Runner's high is one helluva drug m90

When you have that thought answer it with "yeah that is what this faggot is gonna do. You have a problem with it? Go fuck your self"
That is your own healthy sense of self assertion and over time it will grow and you'll become stronger and able to repel more criticism from both your self and the outside world. A most valuable skill to have.

I go early in the morning 4-5 am
the city is interesting at these hours
>old people working something in their yards
>young drunk/drugged people doing random shit
>thief gypsies thinking you are chasing them
Literally nobody cares about you
You are insignificant
You are a smudge
320 6'3 here and I just got a gym membership..... Doing 3 miles a day for the past 5 days. I was scared ,no lie , assuming everyone thinks "who's this fat fuck kidding" , but just do it man you're better yourself. I'm honestly still paranoid of the weight room and pool....

I dealt with that anxiety by getting a treadmill.

must. stay. in. comfort. zone.

that's a lot of money to shell out to not look like a fag, but then when people see your treadmill they'll know for sure.

Out of all the times in your life where you have seen someone running have you ever thought "wow what is this faggot trying to do"? Probably not and you're probably not special enough for anyone to think that about you.

I actively talk shit about every runner or jogger I see on the road, but it could just be me since I'm a douchebag.

>I feel like people will think "wow what is this faggot trying to do"
No they won't
They'll see you and continue thinking about the exact same thing they were thinking before they saw you
And they were not thinking about you
No one is thinking about you
No one even likes you OP
You're just about as important as a fucking maggot

That's not true, if I ever see joggers or cyclists on the road I rev my straight piped ford diesel really hard, and the look on their faces is hilarious every time.

when I see fatties in the gym making good progress, I actually have some respect for them
do you

It really helps a lot if you have easy access to farms.
