Last Friday night, I was walking along Baseline when a black Ford F-150 with FX4 decals slowed down right beside me. The guy inside leaned out and screamed a slur at the top of his lungs at me before flooring it and speeding off. I reported the incident as a "hate motivated incident" to the RCMP as soon as I got home. The RCMP will contact me this friday about it (I think they got his license plate on the traffic cams).

Does anyone else get heckled or yelled at while walking?

I’ve spent the last six years dealing with some significant personal issues that forced me into a shell. Before this period, I was relatively carefree with only mild social anxiety.

Now that those issues are finally resolved, I’m trying to get back to my old self, but my social skills have atrophied. I’ve developed habits of shyness and a lack of social confidence (mumbling/low volume, pitch shift, "nervous" enunciation, etc).

I’m making progress, but I’m looking for guidance. For those who have regained their confidence after bad period in your life, what worked for you? How do I stop the physical symptoms (the voice pitch and mumbling) when they feel like an automatic reflex?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working out at home, but I’m finally reaching the limit of what I can do at home with my dumbbells. I'm thinking about joining the Planet Fitness here in Sherwood Park since it's pretty close to where I work.

For those who go during the week, how busy does it usually get between 11:30 AM - 12:45 PM? I work in a bakery which is physically demanding and leave work at 9:30 PM so I want to avoid working out in the evening.
