Signed up for my first gym at 31yo at the start of this month.
Was scared to go, felt out of place, out of my depth, not strong or fit enough and like I was going to be stared at. Pushed through it and went anyway
Couldn't get through more than a couple reps of 10kg bicep curls, felt way too weak to be there with the meatheads, felt out of place. Posted on /fit/ and got laughed at. Pushed through it and went anyway
Couldn't be bothered to go to the gym through the second week because it was cold, wet and raining. Didn't see the benefits as opposed to working out at home. Pushed through it and went anyway
This morning I woke up at 4am, had some coffee, put on some trainers and got there for 5am. I was the first person in the gym and I just got into a workout and tried some other machines. Felt really fucking awake and happy to be there, felt at ease and in place and I just ran back through the empty streets before the town woke up feeling on top of the world, like I'd returned to the land of the living. I'm starting to realize that I may've been mildly depressed for the last 20+ years of my life and with my new diet and early start and now a workout routine I feel like I'm never going back and slowly getting better.
If you don't like something, keep not liking it for a while, it might turn out to be one of the most enjoyable things you've ever found

Cheers.
Not sure what the point of the post is other than to say find a way to love getting fit and keeping yourself feeling good over time, not much else matters as much in life.

This. The first few workouts were abysmal, I asked myself what the fuck was I doing. Now I look forward to the gym and that feeling when you complete a workout.
I still go early in the morning but no longer because I'm a social autist, but because I have more energy then. Yesterday I went in later in the day and actually talked with people, shit was cash.

Good job for going to the gym but I don't think anyone can give a fuck. Thanks for wasting my time.

You. I like you.
Persistence and habit are key to success in lifting. You will learn this soon.
