Really upset, my gym leggings ripped in the gym, I don’t want to go back now because I think everyone will just laugh at me, what should I do?

Question

I was doing dumbbell squats and they ripped in the middle at back, not all the way up but enough that you could see some of my skin and pants. I’m extremely embarrassed and upset. I have anxiety so going to the gym can be intimidating as it is and I get very anxious when strangers in the gym stare at me. I don’t want to go back because I think they are all going to laugh at me, what should I do?

To be honest, most of the time people especially the ones who are very shy (like I was at some point) and anxiety tend to assume/expect worst things would happen and many times, the thoughts people have doesn't turn into reality. So, I'm sure nobody will laugh. Accidents and everyone has their embarassing moments but people are too busy in their own world especially the ones at gym, they'll be focusing on their workout rather than care to notice/remember that your leggings were ripped. So, don't overthink. Don't be upset! Nothing bad will happen.

Honestly people don't care as much as your making this out to be, its not like a high school teen drama, its a gym that adults go to, buy a new pair and go work out

Nobody is going to laugh. Probably nobody even noticed. It's all in your head. Leggings are thin, it was an accident.

@Magosmall06. Nobody will laugh at you. Nobody thought twice about it. Stop making excuses and get yourself to the gym.

No big deal you already paid just go get better clothing that won’t rip

I'm sure nobody even noticed, and those that did have probably had the same thing happen to them
