Classmates.com is not for people hold grudges. I just look at those ads and think, well, if you didn't want to hang out with me then, why would you want to hang out with me now? Because you're a salesman?
I only dated one guy from my high school. Actually, "dated" is too strong a word. We had sex in a field a few times. That's it. All it gave me was a strong affinity for certain kinds of moss.
I was the weird girl at my school. I was unapologetic about having lots of partners from other schools and grown-up partners, when I turned sexy at 16 years old. It was an abrupt change. I went from being a frumpy, attempting-to-be-preppy girl as a sophomore, to a very sexy, if suicidal, girl as a junior. I was unapologetic about my suicidal tendencies too--but they didn't lock me in an institution. My parents had to send me to therapy though, or social services was going to take me away from them.
I should be a grown-up and forgive all the kids who shunned me. They were probably just terrified. Right.

I'd be willing to bet they actually wanted to be your friend but were intimidated.
ReplyDeleteThere were so many people, women mostly, that I wanted to talk to, to get to know, to be friends with but I was shy and I was a geek. Next to my pic in my highschool yearbook it says "Did he go here?"
I'm thinking those that shunned you lost the chance to get to know someone interesting. I certainly did. Not that I'm going to dig through the pages of classmates.com to find them.
