There's a guy at my gym who has been giving me unsolicited advice for the past few weeks. It started small, like telling me where my feet should be or suggesting a different exercise. The first couple times I just thanked him because I didn't want to make things awkward.

Yesterday I was doing squats and he came over again, watched a couple reps, then started telling me what I was doing wrong. I told him politely that I appreciate him trying to help, but I have my own routine and I'd rather just work out without being corrected. His whole attitude changed. He said he was only trying to help and that there was no reason for me to be rude about it.

That annoyed me because I really wasn't rude. I didn't raise my voice or insult him. I just finally said no. After that I was playing on my phone between sets and noticed him talking to another guy while looking over at me, which made the whole thing even more uncomfortable.

I don't understand why declining someone's advice gets treated like you're rejecting some huge favor. I go to the gym to put my headphones in and do my workout, not to have a stranger supervise me every time we're there at the same time.

Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm wondering if I should just keep ignoring him from now on or say something to the staff if he keeps approaching me.

Reposting because I was finding the feedback really comforting and helpful. Thank you.

I was supposed to have an appointment with my long-time therapist in early July.

That day she texted to let me know she was running late because she was getting some bloodwork done. She had to "figure out this virus."

Later that week she let me know she had to cancel all appointments for the time being.

This morning I learned she passed away after a brief battle with cancer.

She was basically my closest confidante for 14 years. She helped me rebuild myself. I'm so grateful to her.

I'm not sure how to feel.

Breakfast: tea, apple, popcorn.

It's just disheartening... You know? Reading festival 2026.

Edit: Red-ing is a place in UK, this festival is a famous long running annual music festival. I thought it was about the hobby 📖 at first 😅

Listen kids no matter what googled said when you googled it, there is a comic of the official DC (flash) and Sega (sonic) where they literally said that sonic's faster, show your friends about this.

Edit: my god, i have like 100 notifications since i posted this and most of this looks like ppl discussing over something that has literally the ''meme'' tag, dont take it seriously please you look like a bunch of children disscussing over a pointless thing

As most of the community is aware Hulk has pretty much no cc immunity aside from his ult, which lasts a few seconds. Another huge problem Hulk has is that he’s an absolute bullet sponge, yet other bullet sponge characters like venom and thing have much better survivability than he does. Genuinely why does hulk get no bonus health? Large health pool isn’t an excuse when he still gets shredded by the other team as quickly as he does. All I ask is that he gets bonus health by punching or even hitting people with the thunderclap
