Why Don't You Go To Reunions?

well the first invite (10yr) i got to one, i figured everyone still remembered me too well to really want to see me. the second (20yr) one i was living too far away and had no way to get there.
i don't remember if there was a third one (30yr) or not, but i'm pretty sure i haven't been sent invites to any since then.

 

Because they would remind me of how I was be4. I have quite a lot...

 

I did a middle school reunion and would love to do it again because I loved those people and had a good time back then. High school was hellish and I didn't socialize after sophomore year. That's why.

 

Geographical reasons and timing. Otherwise I'd love to go to one.

 

i just graduated so this chance hasn't come up yet.

basically the way i feel about it is that in high school i almost never talked to anyone except for a small group of less than 10 people, and i got to be very good friends with all of them. there's no one i was really "school friends" with.

all of my good friends are still in touch and i'm planning on keeping it that way, otherwise i can't think of anyone else i'd want to see again.

maybe i'd stop in to see how all the then-hot girls look middle aged though, that might be interesting.

 

I wasn't exactly popular but had enough friends that I really loved HS. However I won't ever go to a reunion. One of the things that bothers me most about society in general is the obsession with what others are DOING. People don't seem to want to share ideas, talk about nonpersonal topics. The very first things people talk about are what you're doing career-wise. A reunion would just be an olympic-sized version of that. who needs it? snooze-fest if you ask me.

 

I wasn't very social in high school, so there wouldn't be any real point in going.

X2!!!

 

i just got the invite 4 my 30-yr reunion & i'm a little ambivalent. on the 1 hand, there are people i haven't seen in 30 years that i would really love 2 get in touch with because they were good friends & i'm genuinly curious as to how (not necessarily what) they've been doing. these are the people i should've probably kept in touch with anyway. then there are the other assholes who gave me such a hard time 4 my weirdnesses. (bookworm music geek lesbian hippies had a hard time of it in your stereotypical small appalachian town in the 70's & 80's, at least in my experience.) i couldn't give a fuck less 4 those jerks if you'ns paid me. so i don't know if i'll go or not. i'd like to, 'cause it's sposed 2 be a bbq/microbrew beer bash in an old barn out in the country & i might see some dear old friends. but there's also a chance i'll see peoples who think i'm still the person i was then. (i still am 2 some extent but i've mellowed out some ways & i'm much much stronger & more confident in some ways too.) i don't want the bad people who gave/might still give me a hard time 2 try & ruin me & my buddies having a good time. i know a lot has 2 do with the attitude i bring in, but..... oh well, what 2 do?

 

I probably won't go to my reunion either. I had a fairly small circle of friends in high school. There's too many people and not enough that I knew to make it worth it. I'd probably be sitting there awkwardly saying hi to old aquaintences that don't really recognize me.

 

I had a bittersweet experience through high school.

I find I can't stand the majority of the people I graduated with after being friends with them on Facebook for so long...so I can't imagine I'd feel any different seeing them in person.

I might drop like 40 lbs and go to my 10 year...to show them that I am sexy

 

simple, Il ive in the Orkney's and I'm from the Midlands and if there were reunions say like school ones not sure whether I would go, most of the kids I knew were bunch of nasty tossers.

 

If I was at all interested in what people were doing with their lives after school I would have become their friends.

 

I didn't go cause I was deployed during the times it had its reunions. If they have another one.. I may go.. just to see if any of my old school friends that I loss touch with would be there.

 

There were so many people I wouldn't have crossed the halls to see years ago, and they wouldn't cross the halls to see me. Why should I go to the bother to see them now? They're out of my life for a reason.

I ran into a few people who were a class or two before me at a wedding last weekend and we really didn't have much to say to each other.

 

personally i can't think of any good reason to WANT to. i was also broke and living a long way away, much further then i could afford to travel, for each of the ones i was invited to. when this was no longer so, well do they have like 50 and 60 year reunions? also, if they do, i don't if anyone who would be organizing one, has the slightest idea where i am or how to get ahold of me. i'm sure if anyone was interested enough to find out could, but i can't see any good reason either they or i would want to.

 

I went to one. 40th,I think. Buncha fricken old people. Republicans that are(still to this day) against anything and everything even remotely liberal. And yeah themnax,they still throw 50 and 60 year reunions. Just missed another one. Don't really care about so and so-s liver failing or their most recent stents installed. The ones I still see know me and we've agreed ,politics is off limits. If I hang with anyone ,it would be my kids and their friends,not a bunch of old cracks.

 

Didn't like them then. Won't like them now.

 

I love across the country from where I graduated.

I also only graduated like 2 years ago

And what's the point of HS reunions anyways for my generation.. with social media I can see who got fat, who is still a whore and who actually accomplished something with their lives

 

My 50th is coming up but I don't plan to go. Have never been to a reunion. I prefer to remember my HS friends as young and fresh, looking to the future, rather than them being old like me.
