Outcast/out of place

[estropes]

Does anyone else feel out of place at their gym? Everyone else seems to know everyone else. I go there workout hard, and don't speak to a sole. I sometimes feel liek everyone is staring at me because I don't socialize with them. I just want to go there be left alone and do my own thing, I feel like the exception though. Anyone else feel this way

People do the same thing to me. There is only 2 guys that I talk to....one works there and the other is one of the other "big" guys at the gym. Everyne else just kinda stays away from me. I dont talk to them, they dont talk to me. I never feel like an outcast though. Most the time people know that we are very intense when we (as in all of us on these boards) are at the gym. That is our time.......and they know not to mess with that.

The gym I workout in is more of a fashion show then a gym. But the dumbells go to 150lbs, and they have 2 power cages. That's all I'm worried about.

I'm the same way...I don't go there to talk to every1. I consider going to the gym time to concentrate on working out with intensity...its not a social outing

I never talk to anyone unless its like a 2 word sentence. I am there to work out not bullshit- I swear I see people that just waste so much time blabbing to each other. I go with my girl and we talk but mainly we concentrate on lifting. I go to Powerhouse gym which is allot better than some of the meat market places like Ballys and such- those places tend to be full of people socializing. There are some groups of huge guys that lift together where I work out but they keep to themselves. Everyone always seems to have the same look on their face at the gym, kinda no expression- its funny. I feel out of place sometimes because I am only 178 pounds and have mear 15.5" biceps, but who cares- that is why I am there, to get bigger.

My gym has both sets of people. the ones there to workout, and the ones who want to socialize. I just go in do my workout and tune out all the rest. I only really talk to people before or after my workout, most people understand and respect this.

Oh cmon ! u guys exagerate! I never talk to anyone DURING my sets, but in rest periods I always talk to chicks, flirt, whatever. I know some dudes in my gym that met their wives in the gym. Cant hurt to socialize some... What the hell do you guys do? Drink some water, fantasize about the upcoming pain and effort and stare into the open?!
I go there for both. All work and no play makes a man dull (or something like that)

Liven up guys
