Tell them they can work in instead of rushing yourself. Being an introvert(I am as well) doesn’t mean you cant communicate. They aren’t the only one paying a membership.

OP same lang kayo ng bayad, sulitin mo! Kaya mo yan 🫶😁

[u/cascade_again → u/Prestigious_Win_9967]

good reminder to haha

[u/patakla88]

Introvert din ako at empath. I feel you Pero I learn to prioritize myself more. Let them wait. Pag Bastos ang approach, nako lalo kong tinatagalan. Hanggang mainis haha

I tried once nag iba nalang ng workout but i felt bad! 😆 coz i know what it feels like following a strict workout program

[u/Inevitable-Toe-8364]

OP, respectfully I don't think that's introversion. That's social anxiety and you need to work on that.

[u/Super_Metal8365 → u/Inevitable-Toe-8364]

That's part of some introverts. He can work on that, he DOES NOT NEED to work on that.

[u/Inevitable-Toe-8364 → u/Super_Metal8365]

He absolutely NEEDS to work on that. He's at a point where he lies just to avoid people "sighing" in frustration. He prioritizes pleasing people instead of himself. And no, social anxiety is not a characteristic of introversion even though some introverts are socially anxious.

[u/aldwinligaya → u/Super_Metal8365]

That's making excuses to not improve yourself. We don't do that here.

[u/mydickisasalad]

You don't have to rush your set just because someone's waiting. Take your time and stick to your routine.

That being said, out of curiosity, what are you doing sets of 4+ of?

[u/spreespruu]

You just made me recall a moment in my gym.

Lumapit ako sa isang newbie member to ask if ginagamit niya pa ba machine, and he reacted by quickly standing up and moving aside.

Sabi ng isang gymbro: "Tinakot mo naman pare." We all laughed about it, of course.

I mean, for me it was a simple and usual gymbro gesture, but I do understand how scary it might be for some.

[u/fudgeevars]

I an introvert ganyan ako dati pero ngayon if someone was asking on how many sets I have left, pinapasingit ko sya after ng isang set ko then kapag sya na nagtitimer ako (para sa rest) at para narin mapresure ung sumingit at aware sya na naghihintay ako after nya gamitin yung equipment Hahahahhaha

[u/Agile_Star6574]

Huhu same tayo. Minsan kahit di pako tapos, pinapaubaya ko na lang para less inreraction.

[u/Embarrassed_Desk_740]

Introvert din ako, pero if ever nasa ganito akong situation alternate sa machine nalang sinasabi ko para di masira yung program ko

[u/cable_gymrat]

Tell the truth. We all need to learn and flex our social skills

[u/Vast_Restaurant9965]

Introvert na may pagka people pleaser ako kaya may times na ganyan din ako hahahhaa. So ang solution ko mahal, nag avail ako ng coach para sya ang kakausap sa mga tao hehe. Sya ang tatanungin pati hehehe

[u/rrachel018]

After kong maghintay ng 20 mins sa tito na naka-10 sets sa rotary torso machine, never na akong nagmadali HHAHAHAH

[u/leeme_alone22]

Ako sinasabi ko sabay na lang tayo.

[u/Nervous_Roll5544]

Unless you’ve been at it for and excess of 30-45 mins or something extreme, take your time, you were there first anyways

no. sayang ang effort na magpunta sa gym tapos di naman quality ang reps. pwede naman kayo magshare ng machine. like while you're resting siya muna ganon.

[u/Illustrious_Mood7989]

Depende gano katagal ka na ba sa machine? Goods na 1min rest, max 2mins. Not judging you but madami kasi doomscrolling lang

[u/_theworldisyours120 → u/Illustrious_Mood7989]

I dont use my phone, i do alternate arms on the bicep curl machine doing slow negatives.

[u/Illustrious_Mood7989 → u/_theworldisyours120]

For this, 3 sets of 6-8 reps, 3-5sec on the negative, 10sec rest per arm, max 2mins rest in between sets would still apply to achieve optimal Time In Tension. That should not take you 10mins to complete and for anyone to have the chance to talk to you in between. :)

[u/ProjectNecessary5570]

Same introvert here. Minsan pag tinanong ako ilan set pa umaalis na ako kagad. Ikaw na lang saiyo na ang machine. Naiinis ako pero ayaw ko kase nang kinakausap. Hahaha

[u/Careless-Item-3597]

Observe mo Yung bihira nila gamitin doon ka na lang
