    Fuck no. I was done with that shit the moment it was over. I didn’t give a fuck about them back then and I certainly don’t give a fuck about them now. Anyone I cared to keep in touch with I’ve kept in touch with.

    If one was held, then I was not invited. In any case COVID fucked up my last 2 years of highschool, so I feel it would’ve been awkward.

    I feel like people don’t do this anymore. My highschool was very large and I don’t think myself or anyone I know even knew who is responsible for it so it never happens

    Oh fun, story time!

    I didn’t like most of the people in my high school, I’m sure some of them grown to be nice people, but my best friend in high school is still my beat friend now. In fact she is family and we share the same last name. (but we didn’t get married!)

    So back in the day we very briefly dated but it was clear to both of us that wasn’t going to work but we’ve remained been friends ever since. Fast forward a few decades and I’ve finally came out and transitioned like I always wanted to. Was already no contact with my birth family for unrelated reasons, so when it became the time to legally change my namd… I took hers! She is the only person that felt like family anyways, every major holiday, birthday, breakup, we’ve always been there to help each other. So now we call each other sisters, I’m the cool fun aunt to her daughter and I’ve been maid of honor in both of her weddings and married to my own gorgeous wife. Life is good! Everything worked out, happy endings all around.

    (Fun fact: technically you can say I lost my virginity to my sister 😜 )

    But back on topic, I thought about going to a high school reunion just to see if I’d pass but even if I did, then I’d just be some random lady no one recognized? I felt like I didn’t belong around those folk because of my own issues, but since I never made happy young memories at the time, I wouldn’t have much to reminiscing about at the reunion either.

    I changed high schools midway through my sophomore year, going from an all-boy catholic school to public, so I didn’t really know many people from the public high school, besides my immediate social circle. Also they were the cool, class-skipping, weed and cigarette smoking kids, so I doubt they’d be at the class reunion, and they’re probably the only people I’d want to see anyway.

    There was this beautiful girl I went on a date with once who went to my high school… a couple years after I graduated, I saw her at a bar, and she gave me her number. I didn’t even remember her. We went on exactly one date, where she revealed that she nanny’d for a super rich summering-in-a-french-villa family, and for some reason it intimidated me so much I had a panic attack, and before we even got to where we were supposed to go on the date, I turned the car around and took her home. Apologized, and never really spoke again.

    I still think about her, and how beautiful she was, and what the fuck came over me that night. But I doubt she’d be at the reunion.

    Also I haven’t been very successful in my own life (not terrible by any means but, not great) so I wouldn’t really be able to show off much of anything except that I’m much more handsome and physically fit now than I was then. I dunno. Doesn’t seem like much when I’m still riddled with student loan debt and anxiety.

    Both times I just had another option with actual friends that I wanted to do more. I don’t really give a shit about anyone from high school, but curiosity would have gotten me to go if it wasn’t for the other option each time.

    And, to be honest, I’ve seen a lot of them on Facebook and they’re looking a lot older than I look, so I guess I could have rubbed it in the faces of some of the people that thought they were hot shit back then.

    Oh hell no.

    I didn’t like the bulk of my classmates 40 years ago and from what I’ve seen in the FB group for my class, which I joined to find those few I did like, time has not improved them at all.

    No. I’ve spent a long, long time and a lot of effort to try and fundamentally change the shitty person I was back then. I don’t want to revisit that chapter at all.

      You know what? Same.

      It took me longer than it probably should have to mature. I’m glad not to have a reminder of it out there.

    I cannot physically escape my high school reunion in this lifetime.

    I went to a fairly small school and I was the only one who graduated that year.

    So every moment of every day for the rest of my life is my high school reunion.

    On the upside though, I was the valedictorian, a fact which has actually helped me get jobs.

    No. I kind of forgot they existed. With modern communications, I don’t need to meet up with a bunch of people I don’t care for in order to keep in touch with the handful I do.

    This year would be my 25th. Never been invited to a single one. There have been several, as a friend has confirmed.

    I’m not worried about ever seeing those assholes again. K-12 was spent being tormented for being different. Not something I need to relive.

    If I was invited, I doubt I’d go. It’s not even worth my time to flex on someone I couldn’t be bothered to give a cold shit about.

    I keep in touch with my real friends, always. No need to reuinte with a bunch of bigots who made my youth a hell in a box.

    No. I’m still working on unfucking myself after the way those assholes treated me. Why would I want to see them again? I’m not successful enough to flex on anyone.
