No people powerlifting, run marathons, do an Ironman because they have a mental illness … it’s an escape |
Yea it’s a paid friend or aunt or grandmother. But losers don’t have those so … “life coach”. |

People who exercise three or four times a week for an hour do not have mental illness. They’re setting themselves up to be strong in old age. With any luck you’ll be hit by a bus tomorrow and out of everyone’s misery. |

This probably borders on political and it really is going to trigger a lot of people but here goes...
when special needs causes bad behavior, no wonder the kid doesn't have any friends! Parents, I know it hurts to see your kid not have any friends but don't post on Facebook how all your kid's classmates on mean to him because he has autism/adhd/whatever. Look into your child's behavior too! |
I worked in fitness for a while and can confirm that this is true. I have respect for Ironman participants and marathon finishers, though. A lot of people addiction-prone personalities at places like SoulCycle, which know it and cater to that market. |
The most dangerous ones are the ones who haven't undergone proper training and call themselves "life coaches" and charge an exorbitant amount of money for their "services." |
I was just thinking today that I am glad that my special needs child has neurotypical siblings who are close in age who are his friends and tell him what’s what sometimes. He is 13, and any social behavior that is outside the norm is cruelly punished at that age. And his behavior is so far outside the norm. So, yeah, I know that it’s his behavior. He has weird special interests. He doesn’t read body language well and doesn’t pick up on when someone is bored or irritated with him. He doesn’t understand a lot of societal rules and gets really frustrated whenever people break the ones he does know. His brain cannot filter out things that are not important to focus on, so someone chewing gum while he is trying to write is annoying. He gets overloaded easily and wears noise cancelling headphones anywhere that there is a lot of noise (like the hallways of a middle school between classes). I know that he is a weird kid. I get why he doesn’t have any friends. I’m not going to change him, but it still makes me sad that life is difficult for him. |
^^^FACT! Also, rabid rescue advocates who have bio kids without adopting needy children are flaming hypocrites. |
I’m going to guess that just like anything else, it has to cause social problems, problems at work, problems with your health, and you have to put yourself in dangerous situations to obtain it in order for it to be called an addiction. I guess that if you are spending a ton of your time exercising m, continuing to exercise despite knowing that you have an injury and need to stop, you are missing work in order to exercise or not functioning well when you do go because of your over exercise, and your spouse is threatening divorce because you are exercising too much, then it’s an addiction. I don’t get that from the fat power lifter mom though. |
NP. That was very interesting! I don’t think I’ve ever met somebody who meets the criteria. One is the inability to cut back on exercise, knowing the amount of exercise you’re doing has a negative impact on your life. I’m surprised 3% of the population has that problem. |

People who bodybuild for competition, run marathons, do Ironman and other extreme challenges do not “exercise three or four times a week for an hour,” moron. Do you get the difference between literally regular exercise and the extreme training it takes to do a triathlon? Honestly, if you don’t get the difference you lack critical thinking skills. -np |
