I lost a bunch of weight through fasting. I hate cardio but I enjoy taking long (3+ hour) walks in nature.

I need to start lifting to fill out my frame. However, I feel very anxious about going to a gym to do it. I feel like I will be judged. I wish I could buy a squat rack and weight set but I don't have money or space for that. Anyone else experience this anxiety and get over it?

Went to the gym for the first time last week. People are trying to talk me out of compound lifts for now and recommending machines instead. Not sure how I feel about that desu

What people and how much they bench? If it's under 120kg don't take any advice from them ever. Compounds are gonna get you strong, machines are ok for isolation at the end of the workout but you should always prioritize compounds.

That's what I've been reading too. But it's a shitty small town gym with little free weights and I don't want to stroll over there on my second week and tell them "nah some dudes on the internet told me you're dumb and wrong, now let me use the weights".
Probably what I will end up doing though.

Powerlifting is for faggots. Look at how many strong guys don’t even look like they lift. It’s time to grow up and start bodybuilding so your muscles actually grow. This means having actual volume in your workout. It’s much harder, which is why the rewards are better (you’re welcome)
