 I recently connect with an old friend from high school that I have not spoken to for over 10 years, and our conversation went great. Now they want to meet in person and I was excited at first, but now I kind of feel ashamed of my situation and scared to meet with them. I am a single mom, I m in school and I drive a 17 year old car. Does anyone else feel uneasy when they connect with former classmates?

I am just so anti social anymore. I hate that I am like that but I am. I don't like running into anyone I used to know.

sometime i do feel uneasy about meeting with former classmates because i wonder if they would approve of who i married or if they might talk about were i live or hoe i live.

No worries. Maybe you two can reconnect. If they are a true friend then they should be a true friend now and not be judgemental of your situation.

I went out of my way to find some of my old classmates on FB and was very excited to find a friend that still lives in the state!! Her and I were very close friends in H.S. and we are still! We picked right back up where we left off.

I highly doubt the friend cares about your living situation. They just want to catch up. Who knows what will happen!!

You should go for it!! Never know what the future holds.

Nope, when i meet up with old classmates it is hugs and kisses all around, we were a very close knit  group of kids. all of us were just the fun, loving family. Maybe because there was only 23 of us. and we all ran around in the same events.  Like i said close knit. When one of us is sick all know and when one passes we allmourn.

Well, to tell you the truth, I feel sad whenever an old friend of mine I haven't been in touch with for a while doesn't remember me anymore when I try to contact him or her, and it wouldn't necessarily be a former classmate.

I understand your uneasiness but I say go for it.  If they were your friend before there is no reason they should be judging you for what you are going through now.   Who knows, maybe they're in the same situation or worse.   You're obviously trying to better your life since you're going to school.   Never know, they may have some connections to help you out.

The only time I've felt uneasy is when an classmate from HS found me on facebook, we live quite a distance away so our only contact is via facebook.    Our political views could not be farther apart.   She constantly is posting, what I consider really ugly comments on FB, I just ignore those and move on.   It has gotten so bad at times I have considered unfriending her but I just ignore the comments.  I'm hoping it'll ease up some after the election.

It's not as easy to connect with someone you have not seen in a long time. Sure you can talk about old times but that gets boring and old quick and if you both are completely on the other spectrum when it comes to life thing's that can get awkward quick

I try to avoid any of the people I graduated with, they all seem to be doing and looking a lot better than myself.

I dont bother trying to seek old friends or even old co-workers unless I was close to them.

It really depends on the person.  Some people have made some poor choices.  (Myself included) And it's hard for me to not get wrapped up in there ongoing poor choices.  I'm in touch with people via FB (a great tool for social networking) But I've become incredibly selective whom I do things with.  Particularly because I now have children and I want them to learn from my actions.
