I’m an adult male who works downtown near a pretty nice park. Now that the weather is getting better, I’d like to get outside at lunch and work on juggling.

I’ve never done it because I don’t want to the the weirdo that’s juggling in the middle of the day, but I don’t really have any other time when I can practice in an open space.

Would it be weird if you were in a park and a grown up man was there juggling?

Edit: Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement. It probably says a lot about what I think about people who choose to mind their own business while engaging in things they enjoy in their spare time. I’ve learned a lot here. There also doesn’t seem to be a juggling/flow arts Lemmy community so maybe that’s something we can do.

    I am an adult male who goes to the park / beach to play with and practise my levitation wand (flow toy) which is way less “normal” that just juggling.

    Aside from the fact that who gives a fuck, it is a public park and anyone who thinks a man juggling is weird is the one with the problem the opposite is actually true in my experience.

    The majority of people ignore me and the ones that don’t are genuinely interested in what the fuck I’m doing or how it works. Some people will watch from a distance, some people will engage and ask but no one tells me it is weird.

    Go practise your juggling man!

      Yeah I guess I thought it might be weird because I don’t really ever see people hanging out doing flow stuff outside of clubs on specific days, but I will definitely get out there.
