High School Reunion

[Panic57]

I'm probably not going to go to my high school reunion since I live half a country away. I haven't kept up with any of my friends since my junior year there. My senior year, my friends and I drifted as we talked about going to different colleges and getter ready for our SATs and ACTs. So, I don't feel like anyone would notice if I came ore not.

The only high school reunion I ever attended was the 10th year reunion and some of our high school classmates, the boys, behaved like they were still in high school. I never enjoyed high school because I was a loner and I only had about 4 close friends back then. We're still in touch and they don't attend reunions either. I never went back for the next reunion because the school's location is about a 10-hour travel from my place. It's supposed to be a fun social event but the organizers always manage to turn it into a charity event by asking members to donate some amount which are then pooled together to buy an equipment for a beneficiary establishment.

I only stay in touch with my closest high school friends and I meet up with them every few months, so I haven't dealt with high school reunions. But I am afraid of middle school reunions, I haven't seen those guys since then and I don't want to, I don't get along with them anymore so if I'm invited I guess that there's no problem if I don't go, lol. But I am afraid to see them across the street or something like that... I've drastically changed and I'm afrai of how they might react, I guess.

I've decided that I will not attend any reunions.  I cut ties with everyone I went to school with, there is really no reason for me to go.

I really disdain high school reunions. I was aloof in high school and did not like most of my classmates, especially those who belong to the famous clique. I only had close friends, like the ones who, like me, liked anime and manga. However, I just dislike high school reunion. The time and money it would take me to find a nice outfit or makeup? I would rather use it to plan for a vacation with close friends or for myself. I also do not like giving updates to people who don't matter to me (especially those who used to belong to the famous clique). Why would you need to know my fabulous secret life anyway?

I don't remember having attended any high school reunions. Probably there had been some but I didn't hear about them. In fact, I don't think I have met any of my high school mates since I left school. Maybe that's because I had been working in many different places. Out of the country, too. I wonder, if I search on Facebook, whether I can locate any of my old high school mates.

I've never attended any of my high school reunions. They don't seem to have the greatest attendance these days anyway, with the only people who show up being those who were the most popular way back when. I think it would be ridiculous to stroll into the venue expecting things to be different from the way they were years ago, when the only people you are going to be able to talk to and interact with, are the same ones who hated you all through school. While I've been repeatedly invited over the years, I've never really considered going as that would make me very socially anxious and that's something I just don't need.

I don't gather with my former colleagues either, it's just something I have no interest in. I have to say I am a bit the anti-social guy, I don't have many friends and the activities I do are mainly sports related. The socializing I do is mostly with my wife's friends and family, but that is more than enough really.

I have 0 interest in attending mine. I saw that someone added me to a group on FB where everyone in our class can talk about the reunion and what we should do. Some of the more popular people were suggesting getting tables and at tavern. For me I had no friends in high school. I was a loner and bullied so no I won't attend mine. People who actually had friends though and remained in contact I think they should go even if anxious. Try to break the pattern of negative thoughts. One thing I learned in therapy is how to try and counter my negative thoughts, it helps.
