For the boy who interacts in the gym and goes out with women, he may feel embarrassed, ashamed, hurt or uncomfortable. This emotional reaction depends on his personality, self-esteem, sensitivity to other people's views and other factors.
If he decides to stop exercising or change his behavior, it may have some bad effects on his health, because exercise is good for health. But if he feels that his experience in the gym has had a negative impact on his emotional and mental health, it is understandable to stop exercising temporarily.
In this case, it is suggested that he seek support and advice, and can communicate with friends, family members or professional mental health experts to help him deal with his emotions and emotional reactions. Sometimes, sharing your feelings and getting others' understanding and support can help to alleviate negative emotions and find positive solutions.
