Don't feel pathetic everyone has to start somewhere and as long as you actually work out you are going to get a decent look going. Pushups,Planks,Pullups(get a pullup bar),Bodyweight squats,Curls(get some barbells). You can really do a ton when starting with just basic shit.

Yo OP, it's best that you realise that your problem is a very common one, and most people - especially those who used to be 'unfit'- were in your position. They felt conscious and scared about going. I did too, but now I don't mind at all, despite coming to the gym in ugly ass and too-big tshirts. If you really want to develop yourself, it's all about pushing your boundaries and placing yourself in new environments and ideas, despite what you've grown up and think about. Lifestyle just isn't what you do physically, but also how you approach it mentally.

So if you're thinking like how you are right now, you won't go anywhere. Trust me, from my own personal experience.

Bring a mate, or bring someone you know that works out with you to the gym. Just do it, and don't let your feelings control how you act.

Best of luck

Studying up how to properly begin and do your exercise and using weights with proper form on youtube will make you have less of your anxiety

you've got to indentify why you're afraid of exercising around others. is it because you think you'll look retarded?

I hesitated for a couple weeks before actually going my first time. What they say is true. No one gives a fuck about you and you should just go.

I had fears like that too but when I got to the gym and left my glasses at the locker room I realized I can't see properly if someone smiles at how pathetic I am or not. Went home without changing a shirt with crazy wet stains it was evening so I haven't noticed anyone laughing at my booby sweat. Felt more free than ever.

Everyone who ever went to the gym their first time felt the same way. All of us included. We all had to overcome it to better ourselves and you are no exception. So just shut up and go. As soon as you get there and start your first set those thoughts are dead
