And because there was a whole load of other opportunities for him to talk to you, like when your mid set? Makes sense

Tbh I don’t really want people to talk to me at the gym. And I definitely don’t need people helping me with weights when I haven’t asked for it. That said, there are plenty of other nice things he could have done/said.

I understand that but in all honesty he probably didn’t really care about helping putting weights back as nice as he meant it to be. It was a way to start a conversation, like how would you suggest people approach you?

I would suggest they don’t

True at the gym you’d feel gross. But to anyone? Ever?

I mean, it depends on context. If it’s a place/situation where chatting is encouraged, or where I can reasonably expect that people will want to talk to me, then I’m happy to be chatted to and just use your head and don’t be a jerk. But otherwise, I don’t wanna be approached.

*by strangers, at least.

Yeah I get you but usually social/chatty settings people are usually with friends and approaching someone is hard enough let alone when there is a group there.
