Anxiety in the gym

[Andre]

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to thank every one for the replies. Sometimes posts go un-noticed, and it is great to get some feedback.

I have slowly been getting more comfortable in the gym. The more times I go during the week, the more I socialize with the other people there, and the more questions I ask my Coach, the better I feel.

Even had a few nights where I felt "in the zone" internally focused and not really caring about anything besides boxing and working hard.

I am hoping that if I am able to conquer these insecurities in the gym, that it will translate into everyday life. Anxiety is somewhat of a plague, especially for me in social situations and big groups of people. It's just finding that comfort within myself that is very elusive.

Socially if you smile and have fun, others will be attracted to you and you will feel at ease.

You can literally get away with saying what others are secretly thinking, if you grin when you do, life will be a real laugh, you just never do it at an others expense.
