Avoiding friends from school

Oh I dont care about that. And you shouldnt either. I didnt hang around with the kids at my highschool. I was too cool for them.hahahah I dont know how I would even get intouch with them.

I'm not one to keep in touch. Most of my friends live out of town, or I didn't much like them, they were just in the crowd in the first place. I like my friends from the science fiction community much better.

My reasons are the same as yours. I've changed since then, and have a little too much extra "padding" to be comfortable meeting up with my old friends. Usually I don't care what people think of me, but when it comes to old friends that I haven't seen for a long time, I would rather just avoid the whole scenario.

I could care less about my old classmates/teachers. All I got was harassed by them all when I was in school. I learned to hate it so much because of all the crap that happened to me. I even went so far as planning to burn my grade school down when I was 11. Reunions? Forget it!! I wouldn't go to one if I was given a billion dollars.

I don't really avoid them like I'd turn back and go another way if I see them coming. Not like that. I just sometimes... (this sounds so awful) pretend that I don't see them. Only some. There are some old high school classmates of mine in the same university as I am and there are some of them whom I don't like much. Not that I hate them. They're just...you know. So-so. But I do not snub them, no. I just want them to say hi to me first rather than me saying hi to them first. I do take the initiative to say hi first to the ones that I know are definitely going to say hi back. But the ones that I sometimes pretend not to see, well, they're the ones that I never really talked to in high school, so I'm kinda scared that they won't say hi back and I'd look stupid.

I avoid these people because I never liked them in school. They were not my type of people that I liked to be around. They were the preps and jocks. They are probably still the same today.

I was never that close to any of the kids I went to school with to keep in touch with. Do you think that all those kids look very much the same as they did now in their 40s? We all change. Some for the better some usualy men they become more mature looking, Us ladies just age)for the not so much better. Not many will weigh the sameas they did in school. None of us and I mean none of us ladies look the same or as good as we did in high school or college.

Naw..I'm not the type of person to avoid anyone for any reason least of all former classmates just because I'm different now and all grown up LOL....My attitude is this, if you have an issue with me for some reason...you have three choices, you can - talk to me about it like mature adult and see if we can't resolve the issue OR - you can wide circle me OR - you can turn and walk away.... LOL

Well I don't go out of my way to avoid them - no. In fact I still have a few close friends from schooldays who I still see very regularly. Of course there are others that I don't see, but that is generally because we weren't that close at school in the first place, so why should we bother to see each other now? However, if I ran into any of them in town I wouldn't avoid them, we would probably just say "hello" and chat for a while and then go our separate ways.

I don't exactly avoid my batchmates back in school, particularly in high school. whenever I see one in the streets, I wait for them to greet me before I greet them. and its just a simple hi or hello and nothing else like a long chat or whatever. but it would depend if that batchmate is a close friend or not. if it was a close friend, i'd probably have no problems greeting her first or him and then have a chat. but those acquaintances, I wait for them to greet me first even if I saw her or him first. and then i'd pretend surprised to see her. LOL I guess I'm not just friendly. ^__^

I would only avoid people from school that I didnt really like or if I am in the sort of mood where I just cant be bothered to talk to them - perhaps cos I am too busy. I have just recently been reacquainted with an old school friend. I knew she worked in my office but she has been away on maternity leave and just returned. Her new seat is next to mine. We have had a wonderful time catching up on all those years. I'm sure you dont look nearly as bad as you think you do. Most people gain weight as they get older and you will probably find that your old school friends have changed a lot too. Try not to worry about what other people think of you - people either like or they dont and it isnt usually because of the way you look.

i really didn't have any close friends at school,so if i never see any of them again,it's no real loss. most of mine where older kids i'd known outside of school.they were a few grades up from me at the time.

Dont feel like that. If they think you are like that then you have a good reason to avoid them. However, you should love yourself better than other people. I dont care how people look like, as long as they are a good friend to me. You dont have to care what they say cuz that is the way you are. They are different from you and they never know how you feel so why you have to care about them so much. I think you look great both gentle and outside looking. Well, they are not that important to you... we are here still love and support you all the time... so feel free to talk to us.

I avoid them at all costs. I hated school. The kids were cruel and mean. I'm glad I'm away from that. But now, I work retail and I will see someone walk in, I will try to avoid them anyway I can. I had one lady ask, "Do you remember me? We went to 5th grade together!" Like I would remember the 5th grade. I've tried forgetting about the 12th grade.

I do not avoid them, but I also do not have any contact with them =) I never did like the way they acted and I am sure that they would also look at it differently today. I had friends of my own in high school - that went to other schools and those people are still today my best friends!

I won't avoid my classmates if I have a chance to meet them. But I'll only meet my classmates who were good at me during my school years (especially my best friends). I didn't want to meet my classmates who didn't have a common ground with me. I believe that my classmates also might not recognize me because it is like you, I might not look as good as old times. We're getting older... LOL. But I wasn't afraid of it. I know that if my old friends are nice, I hope that they will also understand it. I am expecting they may also change their looks.

Back in '92, I moved interstate. I had belonged to a service club and had many good friends, people I spent a lot of time with, whose homes I had visited and who had been in my home. They had known my children and my Dad had allowed us to hold functions in his lovely garden. A lot of water passed under the bridge while I was away. I had previously managed a bookshop but returned as a checkout operator and was snubbed by these so called friends of mine. There is a reunion coming up in October and while a part of me would love to go I've decided not to subject myself to their snobbery.

I have changed soooooo many schools and places of abode lol that I haven't even had a chance to be able to keep any old friends which for me is quite sad. But I don't think they would be able to put up with me anyway lol. I think I am a mixed fruitcake and Mylot seems to be the best place to be myself hahha

I dont avoid any of my friends, anyone from my old school, college etc. Because even though I have changed a lot, even they have changed a lot and I dont want that to do avoid me meeting them. Change is part of life and all knows that. No one will remain like what they are today..

i stay away from people i went to school with for the reason that i don't feel comfortable with them anymore. the few times we were together since we graduated i noticed that the common topic being talked about were about other people's misfortunes. for me it's very unhealthy
