I dont use social media so it isnt an issue, but overall that is sort of why I dont use it to begin with. I dont want some people to reach out to me nor do I want to reach out to them.

No, I'm thrilled to connect with old classmates. We have so much to catch up on and so many memories to share once again.

The only thing I don't like is sharing recent photos. If we fell over each other, we'd never know them. There's only 2 that look the same.

Just 2 weeks ago, I reconnected with 3 old friends. Two years ago, I reconnected with another 2 friends and 10 years ago, I connected with my "bestest buddy" next door neighbor and his wife, whose wife was also a friend of my hubby. Such a small world.

We now have friends and relatives (mostly friends) in KY, TN, GA, FL, TX, CA, NM, and NV. Hubby also had a friend in AZ (passed away now) and relatives in NY. We could have a ball traveling, making the rounds all year round, which is something we always planned to do when retired, but with the crash, we could no longer afford an RV so we are stuck at home. :(

I do with most any of them because it was years ago and most never talked to me anyway.

I have the same feeling.  When ever I talk to someone that I haven't contact in years I have nothing to say to them beside say "hi" "how you been?" :)

I don't have much time to connect with old classmates on social media.

I really don't meet up with old classmates, just something I never had interest really. But if I did no I wouldn't feel uneasy.

One of the most awkward situations ever. Hate it.

It can be especially if you haven't seen your classmates for a number of years.  I think once you relax and get back into a smooth grove, it gets better.

I run into people occasionally...sometime I forget where I knew them from....lol...with regards to classmates, no, I don't feel uncomfortable, in fact, I look forward to it, because even though people respected me, I feel much more social and willing to talk to them then I used to....in fact, I'm hoping to meet up with a former classmate sometime next week...

    Sometimes I think about them.  Are they OK?

Can you believe it 'cause I can't, but I am having my 50th reunion this coming September.  I recently met with some of my former classmates for some planning and it turned out to be fun and reminiscent.  I really enjoyed it and after so many years people have matured and no longer hold the values and opinions they seemed to have as teens  Thank God! I'm looking forward to seeing everybody again.
It is particularly sad that about 35 out of 190 in my class are already deceased!  Makes you think and value each and every day.  Live in the moment and take a chance.  It may turn out to be a wonderful time!
