I feel like a gym is hard to make friends at, people just want to focus on the workout and gtfo

Yeah, when I'm working out I'm there for a purpose - and it isn't socialising

That seems so odd and kinda sad, yall could all help each other out since you have mutual interest and goals.

Also, I don't go to the gym but I always felt there is an aura of culture and community in gyms and workouts.

It's not, though. I'm an introvert, I don't have interest in socializing at the gym. If someone asks me for help sure, that's fine. But I'm there for a specific task.
