Reunions. Discovering my old school friends are still old-school.

Didn’t have any problems in high school with classmates. Wasn’t close to many though. Had friends but not a lot.
Over the years I’ve been very successful, by any metric.
I always thought I wanted to go back and show off as things developed over the years.
But that is just a sad and meaningless thing to do.

@Thatsright Don't you like seeing your old town, your house, people who knew your parents, ancestors? People who saw your early "becomings"? (I do, maybe because it was a small town where everyone knew everyone.)
Thatsright · 61-69, M
@katydidnt Not really. Everyone I knew moved. Relatives included.
katydidnt · 61-69, F
@Thatsright Yes, that does eliminate important variables.

My 50th is this year but won't attend it. Never did go to any. They would be strangers to me anyway.
katydidnt · 61-69, F
@BeJeweled Fair point. I don't remember anyone saying "Don't be a stranger" to me once we'd received our diplomas.
My 30th h.s. reunion, discovered the cliques are still real.
katydidnt · 61-69, F
@TallMtnMedic Sad that members of cliques don’t easily click with outsiders.
@katydidnt Agreed! Just a reminder that some cannot leave h.s. mentality.
Never been. I talk to my friends but don’t care to see most.

I haven’t been to one.

For some strange reason all my old friends are old!
katydidnt · 61-69, F
@ElRengo We dodged a bullet!
ElRengo · 70-79, M
@katydidnt Ohhhhhhhhhh yeah!
Rambler · 61-69, M
After the 25th I stopped going
Rambler · 61-69, M
@katydidnt yeah and they were getting so old. Except me of course lol

@Rambler A grim quotation of Hugh Prather on class reunions: "This parade of old schoolmates: I can see they have been walking into a terrible wind.I look at them and I know for certain I am going to die."
Rambler · 61-69, M
@katydidnt exactly so
katydidnt · 61-69, F
[Back tomorrow, everyone. Keep pondering these deep thoughts ☺

@katydidnt
This guy had some real hang-ups about the past.
katydidnt · 61-69, F
@JohnnySpot Had to wiki up an answer which is “he sure did!”
