Vent: My gym buddy's painkiller habit for workouts has me questioning my silence
I noticed my friend popping over-the-counter pain relievers before every heavy lifting session to push through discomfort. On one hand, it's their body and choice, and they say it helps them stay consistent. But I'm uneasy knowing they might be masking signals that could prevent a serious injury. Speaking up feels like overstepping, yet staying quiet seems negligent. It's a weird spot where concern clashes with autonomy.
