Reply to comment by -xButterscotchx- in [Text] Nobody at the gym is judging you for your weight. And if anyone does, they are so much worse than the worst you could possibly think about yourself. by lazybear90

So confused by these comments. Got one comment saying I’m gaslighting (and that definitely people DO judge at the gym). Got another guy saying I’m a hypocrite. Got you saying nobody gives a damn, and that I wrote this for karma.

I wrote this because I left the gym inspired by some of the folks I saw in there, and I was on Reddit and felt like writing something encouraging and nice. This is a “get motivated” subreddit after all, and I hoped I could motivate maybe one person that needed to hear this message. Clearly backfired lol

Reply to [Image]Life teaches us lessons everyday. What is the biggest lesson in your life worth sharing? by khaksar3g

A handful of Tough Lessons I've learned the hard way:

No Pain No Gain - No growth and learning without pain and struggle. No life without suffering.

Not being a sore loser applies to your own failures too, when it's just you vs you.

Happiness likes silence. People are full of hate and envy. They just wait to sabotage you.

People will take advantage of you. Live like an introvert and be super picky who you let in your life.

When you have an open mind, make sure you don't drop your brain. You will become too tolerant.

Empaths are mostly Unsung Heroes. Empaths are not the people who just give you a pat on the back while letting you succumb in your victim mentality.

Empaths are well aware that you will always be at a disadvantage if you drown in your victim complex. So they find a gentle way to tell you to Get a Grip.

Healing is slow, hard and painful but you should never give up. Go slow, take a break, crawl if you have to, but don't stop or quit.

When you struggle to find a lesson in your hardship, it means that you actually have a desire to learn and obtain wisdom in the tough times you are going through. Keep going, the Hard lesson will appear in front of you.

Tough times don't last, Tough people do. Tough times are here to deliver the lessons. They are not life sentences.

Reply to [Image] Work on yourself by Fearless_Girlfriend_

This is terrible advice.

Social interaction is a healthy and super important part of life - without it you're a lot more likely to develop mental health problems like depression.

You don't need to "disappear" to work on yourself. You can do it while also catching up with friends once or twice a week. It won't stunt your progress. In fact, it will probably make it easier because you'll feel more refreshed and less god damn miserable.
