I go out of my way to avoid people that used to be my friends.

Friends are time consuming, but that doesn't change the fact that you have become an unkind douche.

What Flabbergasm said basically, however if you are cornered by them you could try giving them a false phone number

Why do you feel that they are all such morons/losers but you aren't?

Trying to avoid them is ok, but thinking that they're all losers isn't, nothing tells me you're a prize pig yourself.

I kind of started doing this with mine. Just because they some of them are immature and just unreasonable and when they don't get what they want cry. So its very hard to deal with these type of people when you are over the age of 18. Seriously would like some adults to talk to but all I get is children in adults bodies.

i do that too i just did this yesterday it doesnt even have to be someone i hated either its wierd

I am the same way I really don't like to run into people I have not seen for awhile. I try to hide to. Even if it's family. I don't know why I just do. It's weird but true. But it's not because I think others are stupid or beneath me. I just don't want to be bothered with talking or catching up.

Look, just b/c you were friends then doesn't mean you HAVE to be friends now, time has gone by and you and your friends have changed. But what is wrong with you, you duck behind store displays to avoid them? What did your friends ever do so that you would act like such an ass? If they come to you, just say a quick hello and get on with your day, you're making a big deal out of this and need to get over yourself, anyone who assumes someone is a loser is just a loser themselves.

I do that too but it's pointless you get nothing from it. I think you should confront your friends. It's like your afraid or something. That's not good.

Completely normal. Just b/c you were friends at one time doesn't obligate you to have to talk to them now.

I'm pretty much the same and I have Asperger's Syndrome, which is probably why I have problems with socialising. I'm even too afraid to message old classmates on Facebook. Lol. Although I wasn't very popular at school and everyone either hated me, thought I was weird or pretended I wasn't there. So, if I had to go into one of my old schools, the alarm-bells in my head would be ringing like crazy. Lol. I think it's either nerves or feeling awkward around people who don't understand you very well (or people who've changed since you last met them). So, you're not alone. If it IS abnormal, we can be abnormal together. Lol. =o)

Your a smart person, never ignore your gut feelings.
These people... you avoid because they will bring you down.
I do the same thing !
Keep moving forward & have a nice day.

Exhibit A: Roughly 40%% of them have knuckle tattoos. About a third have found religion, and about half of that third have tattoos commemorating this. Example: the bearer of the tattoo cradled in the arms of what appears to be a Downs-syndrome Jesus with four fingers.

Exhibit B: Most have at least three children, at least two of which were not made with the same person. A margin of roughly 5%% of these children are NOT named after musicians or bands (e.g. Kurt Marley Lastname).

Exhibit C: Almost none have yet grasped the ability to form sentences with subject-verb agreement. "The last time I seen you you was with your parents when I was bustin [sic; he meant bussing, I assume] tables at the Mellow Mushroom."

No prize pig? Perhaps not. I still sleep comfortably at night with the knowledge that I am superior.

hmm weird. i go out of my way to see my old friends and hang out.but im 18 so i guess that might be different. i do have a friend that became a tweeker and thats not cool. so i dont hang out with him or his tweeker friends. other than that im down to kick it with my old friends

This is weird cause a mate from Primary school has jst cme bak to my school. & now all we have is small talk and it seems real awkward aha. I think this is normal, i mean who hasnt dne this =L

99%% of the time, this is my scenario too.
It's better to leave it in the past, I think.

I get you dont even bother. Its pointless if you guys were really tight in high school you would be now too.

i do that all the time. its just.. small talk is so akward. and then how do you end the conversation.... "yeah so we should get together" ya right! you both know you will forget about this right after your done talking.
