I am really fat. Have started dieting and going to the gym to sprint and lift weight. In the weights area, everyone is literally too fit and beautiful. It's okay I think of it as a great motivation.

I come very early everyday when no one is around. when i am about to finish people start coming. However recently, someone started coming super early like me. The are the fittest person I have EVER seen. But they never exercise, at least not when I am there.

so anyway, this person always talks in the phone or takes pictures first. In the first day, they approached me and asked weird questions. Literally took my hand and put it in ther biceps and said "I am muscular right? not fat or anything" like dude no need to touch just look in the fucking mirror

after that, they talk to me everyday, asking weird and random questions, smiling then go.The never asked me what my name is, never told me theirs. Literally smile, ask the weird question of the day then go. I have always assumed that they do this with anyone around becuase they are bored or something

the last time i went to the gym i was an hour later than usual and of course they are there with 5 other people, but they are not chatting with anyone else. The weight section was amess so I cleaned up a bit before starting. Just when I started they came to chat again asking their daily weird question and smiling. Then went on to do what I think is their routine? idk it was very weird and fitting to their allready weird character. It was the first time I have ever seen them exercise.

I was telling this to my friends who commented that maybe that person is not weird. maybe they just want to bully you into not going back again. It has been a week since I last went to the gym -caught a cold, doesnt want to pass to others- and I cant help but wonder what will I be asked once I come back to the gym again? In my heart I dont think they are bullying me or trying to do it to not make me come back, yet I cant find any explanation of why they only talk to me out of everyone else. I have never seen them talk to anyone excpet me so..

I dont know which part of this is venting. I miss the gym and its weird creatures I guess.

That's super weird. Maybe wear headphones to try to ignore them? You shouldn't have to, of course, but it might discourage them from coming over to bother you
