Avoid to attend a high school reunion

Truth is I also tend to avoid going to reunion meetings. Reason is that I think I got nothing in common with my school friends anymore, all of us have moved on with our life, and reuniting for a brief chat session would not do us any good, thought it wouldn't do us any harm either. I share some commons with you, I still live with my parents and I am unemployed and without any hope anymore of finding a job. That however isn't the reason I avoid reunion meetings. I wish things go better with you in the future, but until they do you really need to cheer up, gain some self esteem and move on. You cannot be sure that your school friends are perfectly satisfied and happy with their life. And now the million dollar question, the question I do to every single person who would avoid a reunion meeting: why did you add your school friends as your friends, if you really wouldn't like any kind of real socializing with them?

You think like a lot of people do; that everyone else is doing better than you are. Here is the thing, some of your friends at the reunion may be in the very same position that you are in but have chosen to attend the high school reunion anyway. I think many people are not truth about their lives, when they attend reunions; they are good at pretending all things in their lives are really great, in reality they are just great pretenders. Since most of them don't know anything about your life, your life could have been just what you say it is.There is no need to feel intimidated, you would probably have been amongst friends in the same situation.

I didn't go to mine either. I just do not want to go because there are too many bad memories and I did not have many friends and I am sure nothing has changed now. My adult life has been the same as far as friends.

Hi! If I were in your position, I wouldn't have attended that reunion, too. I have a lot of insecurities so I probably wouldn't have the guts to go and meet friends who are successful in life. But all I can say to you is that don't think just yet that you're a failure. You still have a life ahead of you. You have plenty of chances and more opportunities will surely come your way so that you can make your life better. Breaking up with a girlfriend doesn't mean you're a failure, too. And it's probably not your fault that you were scammed by your friend. You should avoid thinking that you're a failure. If you give up on life, then that's the time you become a failure. Good luck!

You don't know what their life is like so don't compare yourself with them. They may seem like they have a good life on the outside but they may not have such a happy life as you think. I personally have vowed never to attend any high school reunions. I hated high school and really don't care to see anyone I went to high school with. I especially don't want to reminisce over the good times I never had there. You are not a failure, you just have a different life than they have and that's fine. To each his own. We all have different paths to follow it certainly doesn't make you a failure.

hi, sometimes i do,but most of the time i didn't because as what you have said that the comparison to each other cant really avoid even it is a just for fun or something,but that is never happen to me being scam of my former classmates,of course even they are my former classmates i should be always aware.because we really dont know them anymore and people really go to changes.

I know how you feel as I too am experiencing a very similar situation. I avoid gatherings and reunions with my other high school friends, since I studied two schools during high school, because I feel like a loser compared to all of them. I keep telling myself that someday I'll be able to meet this friends with equal pride, but as for now I have to work for it.

when i was a kid i used to pray to Evey night for a new bike then i realized that the lord doesn't work that way so i stole one and asked him to forgive me. there are very few problems that cannot be solved by order ending with or die be who you are and stay what you feel because tho who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind

how sad it is.do not feel like.you are not a failure.you thought is absolutely fine. i hope everything will be going for you good.
