I was at the gym and confused about how to make a certain part of the cable machine work. For some reason, my brain worked it up be something complicated and involving supplies. Anyway, I have social anxiety, and one of the ways I've been forcing myself to get over it is finding ways to talk to strangers. So I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to ask someone for help. I decided to ask this guy working out on a bench beside me. I waited until his set was over because I didn't want to interrupt, obviously, and then asked if he would mind helping me, which he did. But it turns out it was the most simple, obvious thing in the world and I felt like a complete idiot, and *cue social anxiety* I now can't stop thinking that he's laughing behind his back thinking what an airhead I am. Or that I was hitting on him.
Gym guys, would you generally judge a girl who asks for help with something super simple? I know this isn't a big deal, but it's bothering me so much and I'm afraid to ever ask for help with anything again
