sometimes people get annoyed with people talking to them and breaking their stride in their workout but my problem with it goes deeper and I have a hard time dealing with it. it embarrasses me for some reason. I really don't know how to interact with them because I actually spend very little time interacting with anyone. one guy yesterday asked me about an exercise I was doing - and this guy was ripped - and I felt unworthy to be answering his question and embarrassed for some reason. today a woman was talking to her friend about a different exercise I was doing saying she needed to do that and I overheard and stopped and told that she could do it and should try it. I felt stupid doing that. Its a few hours later and I'm still cringing about it but I know I should feel that the interaction was completely normal - because it probably was. I just try to do my workout with no interaction and trying to be as invisible as possible but I like going to the gym rather than working out at home - maybe because being there seems like contact to me. its the same with 5k races I used to go to - I would not talk to or interact with anyone but I liked being there. whenever anyone approaches me, I feel small or unworthy or embarrassed - its hard to put a word to.
