My 10 year reunion should have been two years ago. I never got an invitation. Never heard anything about it. I don't really care to go. They are really expensive here. For some reason my high school thinks everyone can afford formal dinner at an expensive hotel, so I was sort of glad I didn't get an invitation. At the same time, though, I wonder why I didn't. It is just really weird.
You've made it 30 yrs and still are on your feet so you must be doing something right. I have not gone to any recent reunions as there are only 2 people I wanted to see and I just found out that one had died. As for the bully, ignore him if you can. Usually they tend to forget how they acted in HS anyway. Go and enjoy yourself. There will be many who have had good times and bad just like you and you will be suprised by who has done what. Enjoy!
There will always be people in better and in worse positions in their life than you. That's the nature of the beast. My experience has been that most people are too focussed on themselves to really pay that much attention to others (unless they are looking for faults in which case one can never win anyhow). I'm glad you had a positive experience!!!
I had a great time on the reunion although the mood swings after such a big weekend were ferocious. Was able to positive talk myself through it though. Lots of people have had good and bad times. One poor mate is now mad as a meat axe after work stress. He has such little insight that he resigned from his very secure public service job with 1000 hours of accrued sick leave and believes that he has nothing wrong with him. His poor wife is caring for him and her aged mother and does not even claim a carers allowance. So I have to think of him when I find myself panicking.
I went to my 20 year reunion and I had a great time.People change alot from high school.
go and have a good time and just enjoy yourself.
