Welcome to Lemmy! The world's epicenter of, "Hard work never pays, my life is a capitalistic hellhole, everything's broken and it's all fake marketing."
The reactions to this post have me thinking I should finally punch out of this toxic place. Have none of you ever had this experience?! Have none of you ever worked your ass off and had a near or complete stranger compliment you?
Yes, I realize this is a sales guy making this LinkedIn post, but it's 100% believable to me. If you were pulling a marketing stunt for your gym, would you be talking about the monstrous, scary dudes that inhabit the place?
And yes, huge guys often don't often have personal space filters, they do indeed get up in your grill. Much like Lyndon Johnson, they subconsciously know they get positive results from getting into your personal space. (OK, Johnson did it on purpose, but still...) I'm a small guy, been there, seen that. I stay a bit back so I can run or have other... options.
Just block the negative assholes. There are a bunch of awesome people on the fediverse but the subset pf assholes is just exhausting. Hence my long blocklist.
