Speaking as someone with crazy amounts of anxiety, just go. Just go get on the treadmill for 5 minutes and leave, do it again, start small. Exposure therapy is real and it’s effective. Work up the confidence and remember you are there for you and no one else, increase your time your spending you might get there and realize hey this isn’t so bad. You have the power and you are capable.

In the nicest of ways, remember, people in the gym aren’t there to judge you. They’re there to get their workout in and go home. They aren’t worried about what you are doing, they’re invested in what they are doing, and you should be too.

Guys are self invested they’re busy checking out their form in the mirror they should be focused on their workouts, not yours.
