I’ve finally been able to reach out to an old high school/college friend I haven’t seen or talked to in years.
We exchanged a couple emails to hammer out a time we both could chat for a couple hours,
I’m so excited.
She and I were never part of the same social circles, but always clicked.
I’m a little nervous because we have very different lifestyles,
I guess we always have and that never bothered either of us before.
Are you still in touch with any of your old school friends?
Is it the same?
funny how these things go, but yes , I see one or two every week end
I started isolating myself from all my old friends as soon as i got to college, and haven’t spoken to anyone since. All my fault
I am in contact with a few, but not excellent friend status. I lost alot when I became sick. And alot left me
Funny enough my 2 greatest friends are from primary school.
Anyways I’m sure it will be exciting for u.
I’m sure youl have fun, you have an amazing personality from reading your posts.
My two best friends are from middle school and high school. One, I fell out of contact with for a couple years, and we reconnected as adults. It was so awesome! There is something nice about having somebody you don’t have to explain your past to.
Thanks!
I think it will be fun.
Its interesting that your best friends came from primary school,
I don’t even remember anyone from then.
I called a gal I met in Grade 7, always got along with her, she’s married and happy so I can’t be calling her all the time. She is the same, a little tougher, but same sweet soul
2 of them ive stayed intouch with… pretty sparatically though…
I didn’t have friends in high school.
I do still stay in touch with a few friends from high school. We are still pretty close. I guess I’m pretty lucky they stuck around considering the sza. I have freaked them out but they are able to get passed it and I try not to freak them out because of my illness but every once in a while I say something weird.
I was waiting for someone to say that!
Friends are overrated,
Especially high school ones.
“High school friends” That’s an oxymoron, isn’t it ? I had no friends at the British equivalent of high school.
yes I’m in touch with my 5 best friends from high school. We’ve been friends for over 35 years, they are all great people still. I do keep it casual though in light of my illness, I haven’t discussed it with them, and they haven’t asked yet even though at least one of them I think suspects something is wrong but she is being respectful of my privacy.
Nah. I have real friends now. Although one of my best current friends went to another high school close to the one I went to.
Very cool!
I’m pretty sure anyone that knows me from high school wouldn’t be surprised to find out I have mental illness,
Sounds mean, but its true.
This girl I also was in college with, so she MOS DEF knows. I had a severe drug problem and suffered a total breakdown. No way she missed all of that madness.
Yea! I have two girlfriends in my home city that I’m still in contact with from high school. One I fell out of contact with for a long time but reconnected this year and it was like we hadn’t missed a day.
I’m glad I have them. They accept me no matter what. They’re probs the only two people (apart from my husband) who think I’m cool!
Good luck with the meet up!
Nope, I have withdrawn from everyone and initially one of the main reasons that led me to never leave my home was that I was terrified of meeting someone from my high school…
Most of my real-life friends are from my highschool or middleschool days.
I don’t talk to a far majority of the people I went to school with, and I don’t attend reunions, but the few people that I’m still friends with and not just on fb, but in real life, they’re some of my best friends.
Yup. It was hard on me though. I felt like there was something wrong with me. Maybe it was a sign to come? I did have college friends though.
I was friends with a girl for 13 years. Since kindy…
Til I told her I’m SZ… never heard from her again.
