As one of those nerds who didn't get along with people as well as I wished in high school, I am kind of dreading the reunion. I have had a few awkward get-togethers with people I knew as a child before who remember me in ways I wish they didn't, but high school reunions are on a different scale. On the other hand, in some ways I relish the chance to show folks that I'm not the same as I was.
- MostAwesomeDude 15y agoI don't think I'm going to go to my reunion. Nobody there will be interested in seeing me, and I don't feel like convincing people that I do anything worthwhile.
- jamesaguilar 15y agoHmm, I'm sorry about that. I know there are a few people that I want to see, which is the most important factor.
- arctangent 15y agoI'm assuming you're from the US and that attending a school reunion is a big deal. But as a non-US person who didn't even attend his university graduation ceremony I urge you not to go if the idea bothers you in the slightest. Who gives a damn about those people you went to school with? Look forward to your future and all the interesting people you will meet there.
- jamesaguilar 15y agoI give a damn about the people I went to school with. Sometimes it's possible for aspects of good experiences to be uncomfortable. C.f. the nervousness of a groom on his wedding day, or the experience of a soon-to-be-mother as she goes into labor.
