Do you keep in contact with anyone from highschool?

I don't keep in contact with any one I went to high school with, not even the people I hung out with... Was googling some smart people who I remember and some of them actually made it.

A few friends that I've known since 6th grade.

Not really. I have a ******** (that I never use) that have some "friends" from back in High School on, but I never talk to any of them. There was some Class reunion group- that the Karen running it invited me to, then kicked me out for some unknown reason and made it private.

The thing is - about 6 years ago I moved to somewhere that is like an hour or two so away from that town, but I haven't bothered going out there or trying to connect with anyone who still lives there (which would be cool, but of course I don't care enough to actually put the effort in).

I wish I was normal and friends with the nerds at school - they're all successful now

I deleted my FB permanently back in 2013 or 2014 - I must have had it from 2008 or something?

Did any people from your HS make anything out of themselves?

I don't know. Off the top of my head, I remember one getting a PhD in Engineering and I believe teaches at Purdue or something, one being a pharmacist, one being some engineering manager, and one being some high level position at a Bank (all men).

Quite a few actually. One of them lives around the corner and we ride dirtbikes together a bunch, another lifts with me when his work schedule allows, and some of the ones that moved away game with me still occasionally.

The few of us that stayed in touch regularly ended up being pretty successful adults actually.

As long as you are not comparing yourself to anybody, you are doing well.

Back when zuckbook exploded I connected with and smashed a few girls from my class that I had never been with.

Deleted all social media years ago, but I run into people once and awhile and it's cool to talk and catch up for a few minutes, but I don't really keep contact with anyone.

At my age, most people have really let themselves go. I'll see sloots that we're super hot once that are now fat and ancient looking.

Howdy....

No....none at all.

I joined the service prior to graduation with another HS buddy.
I went away, and when I came back I was light years away from relating to any of them again.
My experiences changed me forever and ended any desire to reconnect or maintain contact.

The journey of life takes us in many different directions and nurtures countless different perspectives.

I have my best friends contact on my phone but haven't spoken to him in years. He was a math wizard and he's an accountant now.

Our friend group was 4 of us from high school - graduated 20 years ago this year.

So they're 24 years or so friendships.

They've all had kids and are married, the past few years though the conversations have slowly whittled away and now I'm at the point where I don't even know if I consider a couple of them friends anymore as we've all just grown apart, after and I realised that if I stopped reaching out to them, I'd never hear from them. And that's pretty much what I've done this year.
