Would You Be Embarrassed To Attend Your Reunion.... email this discussion to a friend?

Because You Didn't Become Successful?
Would You Consider On Not Going Because You Don't Have Anything To Show Off?
Or To Heck With Them? You'll Still Attend?

Some would be unwilling to go because they are embarrassed of what they have become. Perhaps, just so they didn't achieve their goals, others might think they're a failure.
Some would be so excited because they have been successful in their fields.

But for me, I don't care if I'm successful and others are not. I won't bring up and brag about me all night long. I don't care if people will talk about me and of failing to be successful. They can say all they want.

Reunions are for meeting old and long lost friends again. Rekindle the memories you all once shared. Happy and sad events of your school life. So, there's no sense in trying to step on someone who hasn't gone as far as you...

Yup, I'd still attend. it would still be fun seeing relatives --both old and new. Beside if in case I did not become successful, so what? I'm sure I'm not the only one. Also, these are my relatives, their blood flows into mine so that should be okay. They should be proud of me for whatever I became to be. And if I'm the one who is successful and the others are not, I wouldn't brag about it as it might offend them in some way.

I wouldn't be embarrassed but not being married and not wanting to be married as I like my independence, I hate it when some married people look at the single person as a loser or feel sorry for them...and one of the first questions mainly females ask is "are you married"....I guess there could be a good answer there...

i always love it when me and my high school friends get together. we are pretty close and know each other's story so there really are no surprises during the reunion. it's just so good to share anecdotes and life stories with them even if we already know most of them. our batch consisted of 4 sections. it's seldom that the guys from other sections join us coz we're not really that close and we don't mingle a lot even before.

it really doesn't matter whether you're successful or not coz as you share your life stories you'll find out that each of you has problems to bear and it's not really all about the career. some may raked in a lot of money but is still not happy with her life. what matters most is that you reconnect lost friendships and renew the old ones...

No, I'm not embarrassed. I'll be the one who say, to heck with them. lol They want to show off, then fine. Let them have their moment. Most probably I'd just stay in and meet my old friends and get to know some who I wasn't able to get a chance to be friends with.

I actually had a glimpse of what would happen if I go to my high school reunion. I was an officer in our CAT (army training in high school) and one of my subordinates' relative is from my batch as well. We met 4 months ago and guess what, he kept on mocking me like "Sir, yes sir!". I didn't mind. I just hope I could help him to get past high school life but it's gonna take a quite an effort. It's been 11 years. lol

i would still go even if i wasn't successful. like many have said, rather than showing off, it's too catch up with old friends.
i am not successful, am married and don't really know the ways of others as i have a totally different lifestyle than others you could say. it would be really awkward for me to mix around with them especially when i'm not that sociable as well.
but i do have at least one or two friends that i can have a heart to heart chat with, and that would be more than enough for me.

I am happy with how I have turned out so that wouldn't stop me attending the school reunion. However I don't think I'd go to a school reunion cause there is no one I really want to see again. The 3 people I do care to see from high school I already see on a regular basis.

I would be a little embarrassed yeah, with me being overweight like this. I used to be considered pretty when I was in school, but now I'm just plain fat, and I'm not comfortable with it. Actually my elementary school alumni are planning a reunion this end of July, and I intend to lose some or many weights before the time comes, or else I wouldn't come, so please wish me luck. I'm going to the gym in an hour, and I hope to go there daily till I get my body back.

but don't strain yourself too much, be careful..and just be your own self...thanks..

Last year, it happened that my old high school mates organized a small reunion. They announced it through Friendster. I, actually, received numerous messages from them. But I didn't attend that reunion because of circumstances.

I'm a stay-at-home mom for more than 5 years now. And if I was able to attend that reunion, I would be proud to tell them of my current situation. I may not be a successful career woman, but I'm successful when it comes to taking care of my husband and son.

And as what you've said reunions are for meeting old friends and talking about the happy memories, and also the not so happy parts. If there are those who love to brag about what they have become, then I feel sorry for them. The whole world doesn't need to know about their success. Only insecure people do that.

I'm a SAHM too and I'm proud of it, same with you..Hah!! Who said that being a SAHM isn't a career? thanks... thumbup

I would go just to be able to shove in their faces my happiness. Being successful isn't always about money, it can be about happiness. During high school alot of kids wouldn't talk to me because I was a "jock" and going to a high school reunion with them thinking they were my best friend would be upsetting. But knowing that I probably have more happiness than alot of people there would satisfy me a great deal. That would be shoving it in their face.
