    This is the modern method of getting answers from people on the internet.

    If you want an answer to something, anything that you are thinking of … just confidently post the wrong answer somewhere and you will receive more than enough right answers from people who know.

    I heard an interview with a former FBI counterintelligence officer who said the fastest way to get information out of someone is an incorrect presumptive statement.

    So “you seem like you were born in early March by your spirit shape” more often than you’d expect leads to “June 28th dumbass”.

    A gym where people talk to you? No thanks. I’ve been going to my current gym, which is quite busy, for 6 years. Nobody has even made eye contact yet. Good times.

    Fyi if you’re anxious or shy or whatever the gym is the place for you, nobody will bother you at all, generally. Very easy to disappear in the crowd, even if you’re funny looking or something.

      Maybe if you wear headphones(?) like most people, then you might not get bothered or whatever (so if you really don’t want to be talked to, wear headphones or go late?).

      Honestly though, it’s kinda nice when every now and then someone asks for a spot and you have a nice small interaction, but maybe that’s just me cuz it forces me to face my social fears.

    Literally the only time people talk to me is when they want to ask how many sets I have left

    Most of the people in my gym are just average people though, not like a gold gym or anything.
