Gym culture shock

Many are aware of my social retardation, but going to the gym is forcing me to work through some of my phobias...
  1. Skinny People- Very scary.  With their health, and their carefree awesomeness... very scary.
  2. Locker Rooms- Locked doors full of mystery... naked ladies EVERYWHERE.  Terrifying.
  3. Small Talk- I smile and I'm friendly, but... well, headphones help.
  4. Half-Naked Small Talk- I can't wear my headphones into the shower, can I?  I just don't like chatting in my skivvies.  Ask my husband.
  5. Public Nakedness- No explanation necessary.
  6. Showering with Shoes On- I just feel like I've left something else on.  I swear I checked 4 times to make sure my underwear wasn't still on.
Luckily, my wonderful husband's craziness took us to a gym where its mostly old people and people who need some kind of rehabilitation.  At least that helps with numbers 3-5.  Working out AND social phobia therapy... all in one!!! Yayyy!!!!!!!!!!
