Belle23 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Today I ran into an old friend/acquaintance and it caught me off guard. We used to be college friends/acquaintances a couple years ago, but had a really bad falling out. I liked him, but he didn't feel the same. We remained friends, but things got messy after he started dating. I didn't have any other friends in school and acted like an idiot and wouldn't let go of the situation. It was embarrassing! Anyway, I saw him today. I was driving to the grocery store and he came up beside me in the left lane. I'm pretty sure it was his car, so I sat back far enough where we didn't have to sit next to each other at the red light. Thankfully, he turned soon after that. Needless to say, I didn't think I'd feel so awful about seeing him again nor still so embarrassed over my past actions. I don't have any animosity toward him, but it's been almost 3 years- I didn't think I'd be that shaken up over it! Granted, it was the first time seeing him since graduation, but what the heck is wrong with me??
chargersfan Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Not a dang thing. You just gotta get over the guilt, which if this is the first time you've seen him since all of that, isn't too surprising if those feelings came flooding back to you. It's okay; I've certainly been there. Everyone holds onto things too long and can look silly- and then we end up embarrassed. Or maybe that's just me
Author Belle23 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Posted September 15, 2015 I made a fool out of myself back in college in front of a lot of people. I looked so desperate and stupid. I hadn't thought about it in so long, so I guess I was surprised how nervous I got. I tried driving slower than him to the red light so I didn't have to see him. It was lame lol
chargersfan Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 LOL. I think the majority of us have been there. It always hurts to hang on too long. The feelings came rushing back to you, that's all. The most important part is to learn from it, which if it's been 3 years, I'm sure you have. Even then, when you get in that "desperate" feeling stage, it's hard to recognize it...at any age.
sonali22chauhan Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 It's good to see a old & close friend after too long time ! I must say people get changes by time ! People don't get in touch with each other & when time to face too people than don't identify & act like unknown people.
