Do you skip class reunions too?

Post Reply New Topic

Depends on the school and depends on who will be at the reunion. I did have a small circle of friends around me. I wouldn’t mind a small reunion with that small group as for a larger reunion not really that interested. Also I have relocated since leaving school so it would be harder for me to get to a school reunion anyway.

The irony of disposing of my MS and HS yearbooks was that many old classmates have found me on Facebook and as much as I wanted to block them, I added them to my Facebook "friend list" in a reluctant manner.

In fact one girl who I had a huge crush on when we were in middle school together found me on FB and invited me to her house for a game night not only with her boyfriend, but with some old classmates too.

This was about two years ago and I had a surprisingly good time. However, in order to avoid my mom getting suspicious, I told my mom I was going to a wedding for a relative of my former crush because even now, my mom tells me that I have to get her permission for me to have a girlfriend.

Thankfully, my old crush and her boyfriend are now married and have been for about two years.

I went to my county co tech school. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania and the majority of my classmates are Trump supporters.

I didn't have friends in high school and I was bullied a lot. So, not interested in attending my reunion at all. I graduated in 2011 and we haven't had an "official" reunion yet.

If you saw my comment, I went to my county vo tech school. I don't align with the political views held by the vast majority of my classmates.

Yes, I skip them all. Never been to a single one.

I was happy then, and I'm happy now, but it's not the conventional form of happy, and I don't really care to explain or justify it. And so much of "normal" socialization, now, seems to be about pointless competition. No thanks.

Yes .

Haven’t been to a high school reunion since my 15th year reunion. Most of my graduating class were arrogant, self-important, self-serving pricks then, as now. Even though a few of them live nearby, none of them make an effort to contact me, unless they want sh!t work done, and they want it done for free.

Seems my whole class dropped off the face of the earth.
I looked at the web page for my 30th reunion, around 10 of 330 went.
But class of '88 didn't even show up for pep rallies back when we we're in high school.

I’m too young to have had a class reunion yet but I don’t think I’ll go to mine even though I went to a private school for 12 years so I grew up with those girls. I struggled academically and I severely struggled socially but I have a very nice career right now as a teacher. I don’t think anyone expected that of me. I didn’t even expect that. I still don’t want to go. I feel no attachment to those girls and my school. I don’t want to “rehash the past” or reminisce or compare lives or ask them about their lives. Then again, even though my mom never stayed friends with any of her classmates, she befriended several of them during the reunions. So over the decades she’s collected friends from school. I dunno. Maybe that would happen with me.

I skipped my 10 year reunion. I hated skewl when I was there & NEVER went to any functions that weren't mandatory; I never went to a dance or sports game or anything else. I was kind of social at skewl & was burnt out when I didn't need to be there. I mostly just wanted to be left alone outside of skewl. I was never a big fan of social gatherings & I'm still not. I'm also disabled & went to a private Catholic high-skewl where lots of the students came from money & lean conservative.
Some conservatives tend to look down on disableds so that's another reason I felt it was better for me not to go.

^^^ "some" conservatives??
