Cool. Start a log when you get back home please. Will follow.
Heading to the gym right now. Hoping the 10 hour sleep I just had will make up for the combined 5 or so hours I got the two nights previously. Heavy, heavy weekend.

GOOD GOD! How is some people claim to have been going to the gym for 10-15 years and yet have not bothered educating themselves in certain basic concept regarding it?

I’ve been lifting a year.
When I got started I thought…”how complicated can this shot be? Just get in there and lift some weights.”
Then I started reading. Been reading solid for a year. Their is a shit ton to learn.
My mom and my husband have been obsessed with that “This is America” song. And I’m tired of hearing it.
Combined they’ve played it over 100 times.
I get it. Police brutality, Jim Crow, Suicide, BLM…I freaking get it. Just play something else.
But I bet you have a grasp on the basics…

You mean:
pick up something heavy and repeat this more times than you did before. Eat some good food and get some sleep.

I’m eating an average of five handfuls of animal crackers a day. I’ve developed a problem.

This sounds so much different than scared-y cat, which I think you meant.
Either way. I’m very jumpy to say the least. So long as people still get what I mean. I forget how certain words are spelled if I just go off of their phonetics. Which I do a lot.
So in a certain setting. Say, there’s like you and 5 other people in a room. Who’s someone you’d keep an eye out for? You don’t particularly know anyone, and they don’t know you. Just for simplicity sake it doesn’t matter why you’re in the room, you’re not confined to it or anything, y’all are just…talking.
- There’s the rather talkative person
- The very silent one
- The boisterous and loud one
- The one who’s cracking jokes and trying to make everyone laugh
- The know it all person
- And yourself
This is just for fun.
I’m watching the quiet one, mostly because I hate getting caught talking Tina one one who has nothing to say. I call them pumpers because you have to keep pumping them to make conversation!!

I end up in rooms with a lot of people I don’t know. What I do is look around at people and establish eye contact. I always grin and end up talking to the other person that was scanning and reading the crowd too.
I also seem to have the ability to talk and get along with people that are very closed off. For some reason they open right up to me and we just chat away. I did that at a wedding a while back with the grooms dad. I had no idea he was very quiet and withdrawn because we clicked like a Swiss watch. Even his son remarked that he’d never seen that before.

Is 6. the same as ignore everyone and hope they leave you alone? haha
Six would be however you are as a person.
That’s very nice that you have social skills like that.
Aside from being online, I don’t really associate with anyone. Mostly because I don’t want to. Not that I don’t like people or anything.
Even if you guys met me in person, I’d be very silent. I’d rather just nod and listen. Consumes way less energy lol.
My brother is like that.
He always says the quiet ones are the ones to either not mess with, or watch out for.
By keep an eye out for, do you mean to hang out with or because I think they’re sketchy?
At any rate, depends. I am a talkative one, though depending on situation I can get very shy with strangers. If it’s an emergency or weird thing of any sort that won’t happen, though. So: If the joking person is actually funny, I’ll play off of them - we’ll wind up in a riff and we will make everyone laugh. If not funny, that one and the loud one will irritate me, which I will make clear non-verbally. If the quiet one is interesting in any way - bright-eyed and watchful, smiling if something is funny, flashing an irritated expression if appropriate - I’ll draw them out, possibly along with the talker. It the know it all actually does know stuff, that person will be in my group. If the four of us, or the talker and the knower and I, form a group the others will fall in. If the know it all is full of hot air on any subject I have knowledge in, I’ll take him/her down, but then be friendly and they can hang with the other talker and me, along with maybe the quiet one and the joker…then eventually the boisterous one will settle down and take on the tone of the group.
So that’s how it will go. I’ve actually had some experience in this along and along. Generally speaking in a small group if there are two people with similar personalities and at least one of them has a strong personality, they will determine the tone of the group. So for anyone doing the exercise, you’d see who you match, then think “are these leadership personality types?” and you’ll potentially know what the entire group will turn into.
I’m not boisterous, but it’s an energetic personality type, so if there were two of them and I was just one of the others, the boisterous guys would take over and I’d either join in if it was something I was interested in (“yeah, let’s go break into the vending machine!”) or suffer through their annoying bullshit.

I’ve never liked kids but I always thought by about 18-20 they start becoming alright. Looking through some recent threads, I was obviously wrong. I also don’t like old people. There is an old couple that come to my gym every morning and do the exact same shit and annoy/talk to the regulars. I’m the only person they don’t talk to because I have strategically death stared them both at different times.
Am I just getting old and grumpy myself or are most people just wankers?
