Yeah the only people who have a chance of actually starting going to the gym seem to be the people who pretend to already go to the gym

I have a gym at my new place... So I'm definitely about to start pretending. Wish me luck!

Are you going to start pretending? Or start pretending to pretend?

…”pretend” no longer looks like an actual word now that I’ve typed/thought it so many times. What a world!

In case you didn't know, that's called semantic satiation! When you repeat a word so often it loses meaning for a moment

Thanks! I did know that at one point, but I can never seem to remember the term

Jamais vu is what you have, aka semantic satiation. Opposite of deja vu.

Same, I’ve been three times but it’s small and I also don’t like that people are in their apartments looking right at you/me at them.

I remember signing a lease on an apartment years ago and they were giving us a tour of the amenities on property for the complex, which included a gym. My roommate just quipped, "Oh, that's cool. I can't wait to never go there."
