Woke up feeling like I could go to gym, but then my roommate wakes up. For some reason that threw my mind off its task and I started feeling nervous and uncomfortable like I got caught. So now I'm back in my pjs. He's off and heading to the gym no prob. I feel dumb thinking I belong there

I hate that feeling dumb feeling!
If the gym still feels uncomfortable, can you do some cardio at home? Maybe follow a YouTube exercise video?
Yes I could and sometimes I do. What's difficult and sounds dumb is that I get the same feeling at home. I'm alone but that feeling of being observed is still there. I feel like I'm not moving right and my movements become awkward and I just stop trying. Plus I thought of I paid for a membership it would force myself to go, so now I'm paying for something I'm to afraid to do.
Does your roommate go to the same gym?
Yeah, I don't want to go with him. He's on a different level then I am. I want the judgement free experience. Not that he'd judge me out loud, but no. I've been there with a couple girlfriends but I don't like bothering people. I want to do this on my own.
Gotcha. It’s hard for me to do things on my own. I know I need to exercise, but I have a hard time getting myself motivated.
do you find it boring if you are doing it alone, doesn't the buzz of the gym make it interesting?

Using the equipment hives me more of a work out and I do like the adrenalin. It keeps me distracted and feels good
