I Graduated From High School

Does anyone else wonder if the people you went to high school with remember you? When I started at my job about two years a couple of people I went to school with worked their they did Seem to remember me but what about anyone else? If you walked in a room right now with your Senior class would anyone know who you where and would anyone care if you never showed up? I just often wonder how little of an impression I made on people and it's probably why lonely now.

Out of my senior class of over 200, only one has ever stayed in contact. It was the guy I got into a fight in gym class. He broke his wrist and I shattered my elbow. Now we both laugh about it. The rest of my class, I couldn't care less whether I ever hear from again.
I was the Mod in my school
They thought I was too strange to be in their groups. Didn't bother me tho, I wasn't a greedy money grubbing egg head like they all were

I had my 50th High School Reunion last year. I had planned to attend but wasn't able to. It would have been the first reunion I would have gone to. I wasn't missed.
Like everything else, memory depends on your personal experience. I would have like to have attended but I also would have not have known anyone, that is except Cindy Williams, who also didn't attend. I was a loner in high school. Not anti-social, just not social. I have a couple of classmates that live here in Vegas but other than making comments on Facebook posts, we don't talk.
I know of people who have kept in touch over the years but most people drift off on their own paths, never to be seen again. But, unless you're from a small town, where everyone knows everyone else, remembering or not remembering someone probably depends on whether you are a piece of a favorite memory or not.
Being as young as you are, you have plenty of time to make yourself an indelible memory on the hearts and minds of those you know now. Depending on what you do, you may even stir up memories in those who you once knew.

They all remember me.I am just bad with names.I do remember them.I did have one @!#!! try to tell me that she remembered me.But,she couldn't remember the hairstyle I wore or the fact that I had graduated three years early! But,she thought she'd try to gossip.

Don't let yourself think that you aren't important.I would bet that you had crossed someones path and left an impact.

You may be lonely.But,true friends are like gems.You have to sift through a lot of muck to find them.Also,intelligent people have few friends.And today's society is what I call "me-ism" People are so into themselves anymore.

Please focus on the good things.The little things of everyday life.Set yourself reasonable goals,exercize and do what makes YOU, happy.

I met someone from my year at boarding school last summer. We recognised each other and spoke about our friends there; but then it was only a small school.

[c=#003BB2]They do? Lucky you, I tried to keep in contact with some of mine but meh..they can't bother about my existence. Sure they would remember me, but they wouldn't bother to say hi to me I know that for a fact. Last I met up with them was at a funeral of one close friend of mine. All they bothered about was gossip XD[/c]

Most of them would remember me because I was quite remarkable all the time, and care? They never did
