Haha...I can't stand facebook. Some people post every move they make all day long. I don't care what they are doing. It is so weird. Do they actually think people want to know?
i hear you. say you have a group of 4 or 5 close friends. you might want to post something that they can see, and y'all can laugh at it , whatever.
it is all fun and games until your elementary school P.E. teacher gets involved.
I actually have!
And, I've gotten along better with the ex-jerks I didn't like in HS-LOL!!
Most of those types have changed for the better.
A few close pals have turned into gigantic jerks, and I really have zero interest in being around them.
I wouldn't say that they're "jerks" per say, just that we've changed and grown apart. It tends to be a bigger deal with my high school friends than my college friends (probably because college wasn't so long ago, I moved away for school while they all stayed at home, etc), but in general I've always been able to at least enjoy a dinner reminiscing with them.
And yes, I have noticed that some of those people I "hated" in middle and high school aren't so bad anymore. I don't know if they've gotten better, or the drama/insecurity has worn off, or what.
I didn't realize that the gap was growing between me and my friends before we even graduated. Now I can't relate to most of them but that was inevitable. They were already excluding me from their group activities because they saw me as a threat. You have to want to be a somewhat dependent wife and mother. You have to be co-dependent and enable their destructive and self indulgent activities and ALWAYS bow to the pecking order.
I don't know about "friends". But I got in touch with a cousin that I used to get along with pretty well.
He turned into this uber-conservative government shill. I would dislike it as much if he was an ultra-liberal government shill, actually, so I'm not sure that the politics are the issue.
So I got together with an old friend from college I had not seen in 8 years. From the moment we meet I could see we had absolutely no chemistry. I found her unpleasant and nearly impossible to talk to. When she and I parted she asked me, "so how do you think it went?" How should I have responded?
You should of belched. Waited for "the face" she would make to it and said "exactly my dear, exactly."
