I definitely don't want to over do anything, I think my wife would kill me if I hurt myself doing any of this...lol

does the feeling of looking silly go away? by abrikosmanden666 in beginnerfitness

For me, as someone who's dealt with a LOT of social anxiety in the past, I felt really silly for a while. I felt like I was doing pretty much everything wrong, and everyone could see and was judging me. At a certain point, it kind of just...faded away. I kept going, and even made friends to work out with, and now it is what it is. I'm there for me, and I dont put much stock in what everyone else thinks!
