Some dude that goes to my gym saw me at the grocery store and we exchanged some small talk. I saw him at the gym the other day and he tried to open a convo which I accidentally avoided and now since then things are weird at the gym. Gym is where I go to zone out and not have to have my autism ticked. Why can’t people just leave me alone in public.
Try being polite and carrying on with your business.
Lol!
Headphone. Earpods. RBF look
Because they don’t know you want to be left alone? People are not mind readers. It’s weird because you are making it weird. The guy is probably not even thinking about you. Move on with your life. I wouldn’t stress so much over a random person at the gym.
It's over. Time for new gym membership.
Well, it’s a public gym, maybe some people just feel more social some day. If you dont want to talk to people at all or avoid any social interaction, I would suggest you buy a pair of AirPod max so it’s harder for others to strike a convo or you can have your own private gym (garage gym, private gym etc).
Do you own the gym? If not, then get over it.
Never said I want this guy to stop coming to the gym.
Wait OP are you male or female?
Maybe he’s trying to be friendly or wants to be friends since you have a similar interest in fitness and the gym. If it is truly awkward or uncomfortable for you now working out, then go up to him and say “sorry man if I ignored you the other day, when I’m at the gym I’m in the zone” and leave it at that. It will get the message across you don’t want to be chatting while you are working out, but you weren’t trying to be rude. If you don’t want to do that then try to move pass it.
Great advice actually.
Oh look, a true advice on Blind! Good one! Cheers!🥂

Welcome to society. You can appreciate all the things people have created. Maybe try appreciating the people who created them.
Tell them you didn’t want a “stop and chat”. He’ll understand
Thats actually a thought provoking comment
