People with Social Anxiety Disorder—how do you work out?
I have Social Anxiety Disorder, and I hate being watched while doing almost anything, especially working out. It’s not just strangers—I don’t even like my parents watching me exercise.
The moment I know someone is looking at me, I become really self-conscious and can’t focus. Because of that, I usually wait until I’m completely alone before I work out.
For those of you who have the same problem:
How do you manage to work out consistently?
Do you only exercise at home, or were you eventually able to go to a gym?
If you go to a gym now, how did you get over the fear of being watched?
Any tips that actually helped?
I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences because this has been a major barrier for me.
