Facebook is freaking me out, a bit
Okay, for those of you on Facebook, you might know what I mean. It’s like people are coming out of the woodwork that you haven’t seen since high school or grammar school. Or since your early 20’s and party days.
It’s been strange since the beginning of the year because I’ve seen old boyfriends and today, I saw some folks I went to grammar school and then high school with. The memories are flooding back. One of these people I was really good friends with, we had a huge fight in 7th grade and never spoke again. Another I had a crush on in 6th grade. Why are these types of memories coming back? I haven’t spoken to these people in more than 25 years. Did I mention that my 25th reunion is this year? I don’t speak to anyone from school. The few people that I spoke to after high school, we eventually lost touch. I went to my 5th year reunion but that’s it. Since I’m an introvert, and do not speak to these people, I don’t go to the other reunions. It would be extrememly uncomfortable for me and I don’t want to talk to people that I haven’t spoken to in so long or at all.
I am “friends” with a couple of people on Facebook and I had friendships, to some degree, with them in high school. There have been at least two people that requested to be friends but I never spoke to them in school, why do you want to be my friend, now?
This is like when I go through pictures, cards and letters that I saved from back then and I feel like I’m in a time warp. I can’t stay there for too long because I feel lost. Hopefully it’s just the shock of seeing these people’s names after such a long period of time.
Until then, I’m a lurker. 🙂
