Thanks.
With all the negativity and uncertainty lately, we need more stories like this. Thanks, op.
It was within you all along, anon, you just needed to externalize it for it to work.
Op just needed access to a gym and support structure to succeed. Anybody can succeed given the proper material and social conditions.
go to gym
social anxiety disappears
clearly anon has never actually been to the gym, it's the most social anxiety inducing place I know
Man gym regulars are the best hype men you'll ever meet. Always positive and encouraging, ready to spot you, will give you props on your progress. Even for an introvert like me, the gym is great!
FR.
Most people you'll run into at a gym, are the kinds of people who actually go to the gym. As in, people who are serious about self-improvement and maintenance.
People like that are more often than not the supportive type.
you must be going to different gyms than me, nobody talks to strangers at mine
Yeah mine just has people scurrying in and out and ALWAYS HOGGING MY MACHINESSSSSSSS
Also it has the thigh machines facing the windows which... Is a choice. And then they wonder why the women don't use them.
I know I'm very late to the party but i just started watching Dragon Ball (and now watching DBZ) and it's quickly become one of my favorite shows/stories. So many fun characters and stories and the friendships that develop are golden. What a wacky imagination the creators had!
I was also completely shocked when i realized the NES game Dragon Power was actually based on the Dragon Ball series. Crazy!!! I played that game numerous times as a kid, even remembered the Turtle Hermit which is what made me realize the connection...
People often sleep on OG DB. It's a great watch (especially the later seasons).
Too bad it suffers from the "long anime" problem.
Where every episode has a bunch of recaps to earlier episodes since they were made to watch one episode a week, which drags out the story to an immense crawl, making it boring to binge.
I'm sure that if you cut out all the recaps, intros & outros, and all the retellings. You could watch the entirety of Dragonball in like 24 hours.
Oxford's gonna have to add a definition under "loose" with how common this misusage is becoming
loose (lose, archaic)
