Seeing Old Friends From High School

     If your in college, or out of high school, you will probably know exactly what I am talking about. We all have those friends that used to be friends that really aren't that much any more. Those people you went to high school with. Your relationship was kind of like "hey we had class together back in freshman year." Or you talked a lot at school but beyond that there was not much there. Basically you were friends because you saw each other every day. There are a few exceptions I might add though. I had friends that I talked to everyday at school and we were pretty close, we just never hung out. Okay, now that I have gotten completely off topic.
     Every time I come home to my small town, I ALWAYS run into people I went to high school with. I was pretty well known in high school and I talked to pretty much. You know, awkward small talk because what the hell else to we have to do. Or even worse, you had to work in groups and make even more small talk. Well, I never know how to react when I see people that I used to know and went to school with. If I am out in public I usually turn around and walk the other direction and hide at all costs to avoid making awkward conversation of "hey, how are you? I haven't seen you in years. We never really talked, but HIIIIIII." You know, that kind of awkward small talk. I hate it. Which I why I run in the opposite direction. I am a master of avoidance.  Or there are those conversations you have with people you were actually kind of close with but they basically fell off the face of the Earth. Do you give them a hug, where do you stand? HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW TO REACT IN THESE KINDS OF SITUATIONS!? Needless to say, I still do not know how to act like a "normal" human being in society. I shall now keep myself locked in my space of living.

Forever Awkward.
