I am a 28 years old man who live with bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. It's been 10 years since I graduated from high school, and the problem I have is I only hear negative things about reunions.

I have a feeling that it might be a negative experience if I go. The reason is mostly likely only people who have succeeded in life will attend the reunion to brag about their accomplishments. I have always been a loner and the outcast type. I don't have any friends from class of 2003, the same year I graduated from. However I do have many of them as "friends" on facebook, but they aren't my REAL friends.

Additionally, currently I live on social security disability on a very low income and can't support myself because of my disability. I live with my parents, and most likely will for the rest of my life. I certainly don't have anything to brag about, nor do I have the capacity to lie about myself to anyone.

Has anyone been to a high school reunion, despite the fact that you haven't achieved anything after high school and pretty much a loser like me? What was the reunion like? Was it worth going to one? Did you regret it, or enjoy yourself?

I didn't go to my high school reunion because I really was a loner too. I did not figure I had much to tell and wouldn't have many people to talk to so it would be a waste of time and money and would just damage my self esteem. nobody would miss me by not going so there was no good reason to go. waste of money. I think you are making a good choice by not going. take care.
