To go or Not to go???

Ok so I just got an invite over facebook for my 10 year High School reunion.  (It is for next year)

Now I am unsure if I wanna go or not.  Whe I went to my prom, I felt bad and out of place, nobody wanted to dance and what friends I did have there wanted to avoid me since the dresses we were wearing were the same in differnt colors, which was not suppose to happen but the shop decided that they didn't care they wanted the sale.

I left early, extremely defeated.

I graduated yes, but I didn't really spend a lot of time at the school because most my friends were already graduated, and just visited at times.  I was also tortured by a few people at the school for reasons I do nto wish to discuss, but they stem from one person deciding I had more attention then her.

So now this, I want to go for the experience and to see the few people I did have friendships with, but on the other hand I want to avoid it becasue of all the other times I had that were not great.

I am guessing I won't go for the same reasons we did nto go to my boyfriend's but still, it is a hard descision.

I moved before graduating from my "home" town school. I wasnt invited. I was devistated. Even if you dont have a wonderful time, you may always wonder if you dont go. People change, 10 years is a long time. Some people may even have some apologizing they'd like to do (wasnt that a shocker last time i saw someone from highschool!)

anyway, if you dont go, you cant get hurt, but you may always wonder. if you do go, you can always leave.

well to go is a 6 hour drive and a lot of money for hotel, as I moved away from that town over 6 years ago.  The planning that will be involved too.  That is one of the other reasons I am torn, however if I decide not to go, I won't genreally look back and think what if I did, becasue if I made the choice it was a lot of thinking first before I made my choice.

i don't have a great deal of interest in my HS reunion (which is this summer actually, lol), but we're going anyway.  ^^  i'm going to reconnect with some of my HS friends, and, well, doing it just to do it.  ^^  It's a life experience and i'm curious as to how it will go.

i don't think it's going to be an end all experience; the only people who seem to be really struck by their HS reunions are those who were REALLY into their HSs. . . which i was not. xD;  *snugs*

All of that said, we're not going to my hubby's HS because he was only at the school he graduated from for a year.  lol  i don't think it will be end of the world if you decide not to go, but it might be fun, especially if you go into with the desire to just have fun no matter wot. <3

If there's only a few people you're interested in seeing, why not try to track them down and check with them beforehand if they're even planning on attending?  Perhaps their responses will give you a better handle on whether or not you want to go.
