I’ve recently started going to a kickboxing class

Mainly to improve my fitness, but I want to build confidence as well. It’s an all grades class so it includes beginners like me up to black belts. There’s two girls in there who’ve taken a super weird dislike to me and I’m not sure why. I’ve always been super polite to them but they just glare at me and look down their noses at me. I don’t think they know me from school or anything but maybe they were a couple of years below me. It’s really offputting and makes me want to stop going, but I suppose I need to ignore them.

Don’t worry about what some girls are thinking. I know it’s easier said than done and you’re a pretty submissive guy so it’s even scarier for you, but these girls will actually help you reach your goal to be more confident and sure of yourself. Every time you show up and be part of the class, you are working out your “being brave” muscles. It doesn’t feel like it, and you probably feel lots of anxiety but you don’t need people to like you, you just have to stay with yourself and keep going.

Hey, thanks for that, it does scare me quite a lot as it’s pretty vibey in there anyway and I can’t even tell my left from my right when I go in there. I’ll try to forget about them, thanks for the advice. @deathfairy
