I hate it when people from Highschool see you...

Somewhere after some years and try to talk you down about what they are doing, and then they break out into "Man I miss Highschool" and most of the times it's the people who were't even in your ring of friends or you have probably only exchange one or two words with one of these people. I admit, I was a geek in Highschool, outkast; one of the lower circles in the school, and being that I'm the inner city black rocker I was never popular amongst anyone. Yet now I garner these big old "Remember me!" conversations from people (Especially girls) who I never gave the time of day, or they have never gave me the time of day. All I say is "I'm in college" they say "Me too!" then they start talking old days, and a bucnh of current crap that I could care less about. Then the conversation usually ends with me giving a "yeah" and see you later... Honestly what's wrong with these people? It seriously takes me about five minutes to figure who some of them are, and the whole time I'm like "Please can you just go away now!!!! I wanna get on with my day!!".

Only ones I recognize are the ones that I liked and were in my crew of friends(geeks/rockers), and I still actually talk to and hang out with.

Happens all the time, and I enjoy it... I like seeing old friends/acquaintances from high school....GTA_dude

agreed. I don't see whats wrong with someone feeling nostalgic about their past just because you don't. Instead of wishing they'd go away why don't you try to start a new friendship. I wasn't exactly a "geek" or "loner" in HS as I did have many friends, but only 3-4 that I cared to remain in contact with after hs. I did bump into this one chick that I probably said 3-4 sentences to throughout my 4 years in hs and we have been REALLY close ever since then. Don't judge people based on the past. Move on act mature and try socializing its fun.

Are you kidding me? Who takes pleasure in others misfortunes? Especially death.

So you like hearing that someone from your old high school died? Do you get like some pleasure in hearing that? :|

I haven't met my old-HS friends IRL yet, though I've found a lot of them on Facebook.

And they just want to talk to you, lol. Just spare 5-10 minutes.

About a month ago I ran into this dude from high school. And when I run into people from high school, sometimes I don't recognize them.

Here's the thing...this dude called me out and was like, "hey man, hey man, remember me? I'm Harry! Now...what was your name again?"

And then I just stood there for five minutes, watching the embarrassing horror that was occuring as this dude was trying to remember who the hell I was.

So...here's some advice. Suppose you see someone after many years. Suppose you recognize their face, but don't remember their names. My advice? Don't approach them. Don't call them out due to some pathetic sense of past acquaintanceship. Just keep on walking, and don't say a damn thing to them.

I don't care how long we've known each other. If you can't even REMEMBER MY NAME, then we no longer know each other. Quit wasting my goddamn time, I have better things to do than stand there and watch people act awkward because they don't remember my name. If you remember my face but can't even remember my damn name, then how well did we REALLY know each other, and does it mean ANYTHING that we've happened to meet again? No. Just keep on walking. We don't know each other, we weren't ever really friends, so stop pretending that it means a goddamn thing that you happened to see me ten years later.

I think I know what you're talking about. I've run into a few people from high school who acted like we were best friends when they never actually paid me any attention in HS.fidosim

I always feel bad when I come home from school to have people from highschool be all friendly with me and say how much they miss the good ol' days when I don't even remember their names. Or the whole "man next time you're down we gotta hang out!!" and of course I say "Sure thing!".. But I never do, I rarely care.

It's the dark side of humanity. Get used to it.

I'd get it if they were mean people, but they're just talkign.

I would be more annoyed if they outright ignored me.

So you like hearing that someone from your old high school died? Do you get like some pleasure in hearing that? :|

yea this guys just some weirdo looking for attention... At first I took your post serious until you said you like hearing about people dying.

[QUOTE="0bscurity"]

[QUOTE="DazedDarkness"] I only like hearing if someone died. Or how many dumb wads are now dads/moms at 20.Shad0ki11

Um, how about no? I see nothing amusing about someone dying, at all. If that's what you find amusing, that's great, but it's nothing I need to get used to.

Death is an inevitable part of life.

I'm not saying it's normal to find death to be amusing, but I'm saying that deep down you find it interesting to gain that bit of information about someone's death no matter how shocking it may be.

Have anybody found out that this is a tc trying to be funny but failed attempt thread :lol:

first hint was that when he stated that he enjoyed when people are dying. i cant take that comment seriously at all :|

No, I enjoy running into anyone I know, even more so if I have not seen them for a while.

But yes, I do not like remeniscing about high school. Its so stupid, and for me that was like seven years ago. I mean, if someone wants to talk about I will humor them, maybe even enjoy it, but I wont actively pursue a conversation about high school memories.

As far as I am concerned, there were only three things I liked about high school:

1. Band
2. Football
3. Losing my virginity
4. Smoking pot with the very few friends I had

OK, thats four things.

I enjoy bumping into people i used to know. :) Although i do agree with you that once you leave high school there's a strange tendency for people who never talked to you at all to suddenly become friendly when you see them later on. One guy i bumped into in town stopped me and started talking about his job and how he works on a construction site and how he's happy to be working and stuff, and previously i dont think he'd ever spoken to me in high school. :PNinja-Hippo

ya I find that funny. But you know, high school changes a lot of people for the worse and then they get into the real world and they change into better people, or realize theyre suddenly not such hot stuff.

I remember there was this one guy. Good looking, headstrong, and played on the soccer team...he disliekd football players, and some of the girls like that cuz he was all clean cut and us football players really didnt give a crap. In short, he was a preppie.

We went to the same college, and it was just funny seeing him. He was completely miserable, hadnt changed one bit, still arrogant. I feel bad for taking pleasure in his poor situation but , you know, you just cant maintain your high school attitude outside of high school. We had a lab together and were in the same group and he was all uptight and proper.

I think thats why I like seeing people from high school. The majority of them all turned into really cool people; its nice seeing that, and talking to them and hearing about their families, careers, and friends.

DazedDarkness

by your attitude I can see why you were an "outkast".

[QUOTE="GTA_dude"]Happens all the time, and I enjoy it... I like seeing old friends/acquaintances from high school....DazedDarkness

I know what you mean. I graduated in 2007 and a few months later a lot of my class were already married and some were even pregnant. It was insane.

MrGeezer

That's not always the case. Like me, for instance. Even for people that I really like, I often have trouble remembering names. It often comes the case that I remember a lot of things about certain people, but not their names. Even people I have been in close contact with for years. That's no reason for me to just keep walking when I CLEARLY recognize and remember them. If they are insulted that I don't remember their name, then they can just not talk to me and that can take care of itself. I don't care much about that regard. If they can't understand that some people have a problem in that regard, then they're not worth being friends with. It works both ways you see. Or it depends on what kind of person you are. If you like me, you tend to view the world in a very different way than a lot of people without explicity knowing it.

Just because you were a loser in high school doesn't mean you can't be nice to others who are trying to cheer you up, and the fact you'd rather have everyone dead than talk to you is just sad. No wonder you were an outcast, you sound like you were a hateful person.Nerd_Man

Yeah damn maybe I just had a really awesome grade but everyone was friendly or at least civilized to each other. Everyone was pretty close. That is just sick to say that.

I'm majoring in Architecture at one of the best colleges for that program and everytime I see someone from high school I just have to laugh. I'm better than them and in all likelyhood will become incredibly successful.

...and people think I have an ego. HA! :roll:

I'm with you on this one man, I hate seeing my former HS classmates. With the exception of a few of them, the rest are just ugh...

Its like I moved on to College and I don't really give a **** about you or what your doing. (I come from a small town so it makes it worse, they stayed like losers and I moved on) And they try to act so friendly or that I give a crap, if i'm lucky they won't say anything or will just avoid me.
