Anyone else have zero desire to attend their high school reunions?

I don't plan on going to mine either.

Just run baby.

I intend to add another year to my "Non-attendance streak" of 53 years in a row

DIdnt go to my 10th. Didn't go to my 20th. Plan to never go to one.

I hope to follow in your footsteps, sir. My streak is now 27 years. :-)

I didn't go to my 10th not going to my 20th. After high school I lost touch with all my former friends. Back in 1999 there were no social media sites to facilitate contact. Now I stay in touch through Facebook, but I don't get the urge to see them

I went to my 10-year reunion.

The handful of people I was maybe interested in catching up with: 0% attendance.

The miserable A-holes I'd hoped never to see again: 100% attendance.

Haven't been to another one.

I would only go to a reunion if I ended up being single in the future. In that case I'd like to go back and hook up with a couple classmates.

2017 will be my 25th. It will be my 25th year not going to any event related to HS. The only hindrance to getting up to a streak of 53 years is whether I'm alive or not.

Just had my 20th this past October and did not attend (I also did not attend my 10th).

If I haven't talked to you in 20 years since high school (especially in this day and age of Facebook, Twitter, etc) I don't care to.

Almost zero interest. When I added up the years I feel old. I haven't talked to them in over 30 years, so why now?

That being said.... The "almost zero" is due to curiosity. I wonder what ever happened to ___? I'm not on facebook so I haven't tracked down any of the ones I might have some interest in hearing about.

nope don't go

Lol for mine they created a Facebook group so I had a clear picture of the A-hole to friends ratio. Maybe 3 people I wanted to see attended, but I already keep in touch with them. Chance of attending my 20-year are slim.

Social media has changed reunions for the better. Now you can easily reconnect with most people you want to, while avoiding everyone else. Reunions should die.

This exactly. It will be the 15 year year reunion for my high school this year. Anyone I was friends with I have contact with on social media. Any of the friends who stuck around town I still see from time to time. All the others have moved so far away they won't bother coming all the way back. Showing up would just be a series of awkward, I don't remember your name but I remember you were in one of my classes, moments over and over again.

you are class of 99?

I almost want the title of this changed to: "Who HAS interest in going to their high school reunions and why?" I skipped my 10th, no plans on going to my 20th in 2020. But I'm curious WHO in fact does go, and what for? The people who showed up at my 10th (I was invited to the Facebook event page) and posted pictures were the big group of girls who are all still friends, and a bunch of dudes who are all still friends and still play softball together and whatnot. A couple randos thrown in.

Have not been to any. 20th was recent. Spoke with some ex HS classmates at a wake recently and was amazed at how much they had aged physically while also not really changing from a personality standpoint. People who enjoyed their HS experience and had no really aspirations beyond living in their HS town (or something very similar) tend to be the ones that attend reunions. While I enjoyed HS enough, I had no aspirations to live the suburban, early marriage with kids, 9-5 career kind of life. While I'm now married with kids, I did what every male should do, which is wait until you're at least 30-35 to marry.

My 20th is next year and I won't be going. I didn't get an invite to my 10th (not that I would have gone anyways). I never liked high school and have no interest in "reliving" it in any way.

I went to my wife's 20th reunion last month in California and we both had a good time. She commented on how "clique-y" things still seemed to be, but I suppose it makes sense that, at a reunion, you'd enjoy spending time with the people you enjoyed spending time with back in the day!

High school reunions are for gay/tranny democrats.
