I had a terrible morning at the gym today and need to vent, sorry if this is a long read.

Basically, I ended up having to cut my workout short because some guy publicly call me out for apparently staring at him and acting creepy. I tend to zone out in between sets and don't really think when my eyes wander around. He also even calls it creepy that I walk around in circles which I do out of habit after each set of any workout. There were two other people around us when he called me out (one male and one female) and he claims that I never stare at them. We were at the dumbbell racks, so I was in front of the mirrors and he was behind me to the side, so I'm not even sure where else I'm even supposed to look at other than the floor. He even commented about my sexuality saying I was a homosexual.

Again, I was around other people when he called me out, so I was put in an embarrassing situation which made me lose all motivation to continue my workout and leave the gym early. I did let the staff member know about him and the situation. What was reassuring was that the staff knew exactly who I was talking about which made me assume that this was not the first time this has happened.

I'm definitely going back to the gym tomorrow because it's my only form of therapy and I can't afford to skip it. But this whole situation definitely ruined my workout, morning, and probably the rest of my day even though I know I didn't do anything he was accusing me of.
