Just returned from my 20th High School Reunion
Hey all.  I just returned from my 20th High School
reunion.   It was overall a good experience and I am glad to have gone. 
I reconnected with some good people.  I am however really weirded out.
It is really difficult to convey.  I loved school and 
generally got along with most folks.  I hung out with several groups from nerds to jocks!  Some kids were jerks to me back in the day but that is 
teenagers for you.  Most of people today were kind and gracious.
I did run into a fellow that was still with a chip on his shoulder but oh well.
We had a tour of the old school.  It brought back memories
but I still feel like I am in some sort of Twilite zone.
I still have dreams about being that age and being in high school.
I don't know.   I am just weirded out, it was such an impressionable 
time if my life.  
I am trying to recalibrate now.   It's so strange.


Thoughts?

Times have changed, but its good to see there are people still looking positively instead of rash or harsh. The person with a chip on his/her shoulder perhaps could have spoken to him/her and found out what the issue was and how you could have helped. Create a foundation of good feelings and just take the impression you got from your visit with a memory. As the events you had are different from others, there are more than 7 billion people and counting along with many situations coming about in this world, i like to be thankful for anything and glad to wake up everyday. For any other day we go through good and bad, but we have personal power to push ourselves forward and help others if that is what you want to do and how you can improve yourself as well.

I ditched my 10 year. I was pleasantly surprised
At how nice people were for this 20 year.
I think a lot of the people who were losers
did not bother showing up.

Actually, now that I think about it, I would say the core of the people were the popular kids. They obviously had a strong bond. I was somewhat on the fringes of these people. I was good friends and popular up through Sophomore year and then I was "cut". It was a little awkward meeting with them, but everything was mostly respectful and actually turned out ok.
I reached out to those who might not be considered as popular.

Ha, these people betrayed me when I was a Sophomore. Sounds like you are a little bit sore about not being popular?

I sucked it up and moved on.
I still went and talked to these people and many others who were not popular.

The losers are the ones who could not move on with their lives and let some excuse leave them helpless even when I tried to help them! In life there are winners and losers. Be a winner!

Re: Just returned from my 20th High School Reunion
I had my 20yr a couple weeks ago and it weirded me out for a week or so. I debating not going but I am glad I did. Not to reconnect with anyone, more to show me that It's time to move on. High school was fairly traumatic for me. I had only a few friends and wasn't very social. For 20 yrs it's an experience that has loomed over me. I'm happy to say after having gone to my reunion I have let all that shit go. It was a different life back then.
