i am not going to my reunion

i didnt go to ten and in august is my 20. i just dont feel like going. is that weird? i feel like with facebook any curiousity i have had about my schoolmates has been satisfied. the problem is my two bffs are not taking no for an answer. they really want me to go and have started an all out campaign to get me to go. i just feel like i dont need to pay $100 to hang out with them. how do i say no without feeling bad about it? because really, i have ZERO desire to go.

Re: i am not going to my reunion

  • If you don't want to go you don't have to go. The great thing about being an adult is that you make your own decisions. You may feel bad about it, but in reality you going to your reunion or not isn't going to have a real effect on your life or theirs. I'm sure they'll get over it.

  • I agree with you on the whole FB thing. My 10 yr is this year and you couldn't pay me to go much less make me pay to go.

    I agree with Kare. If you dont want to then stick to your guns!! Is this out in LA? Tell them you'd be more then happy for them to fly into MD and spend some time with you but you dont think it necessary to spend the time or money to go to something your not interested in the first place.

  • Just continue to be insistent that you aren't going. Unless hey want to pay for your ticket, I wouldn't budge.

  • I don't think you should feel bad about saying no. Plus, wouldn't you going involve flights, travel, etc? That's a big cost to see a few people that you actually like to see and a bunch that you don't. Tell your BFFs to come off it Wink

  • I've been thinking about this more and more lately as details are being arranged for my 10 year this year.  I wasn't that good of friends with anyone in high school. I've gained weight since then and just don't feel good about myself. 

     Staying up to date with everyone on FB helps curb any urge I have to see them.  But of course there is that small part of me that would like to show off H and Baby Rebel.  If only I could lose a bunch of weight in the next 2 1/2 months. 

  • i don't blame you, i didn't go to my 10 year  - you're right fb has quenched my curiosity.  No need to chat with any of them in person, i've got the internet if need be.  That sounds so impersonal, but really, i am like you, just no desire.

    I would stick to your guns and tell your friends you'd love to hang out with them, but you don't need the rest of your highschool class or a $100 ticket to do that.

    Good luck!!

  • My 20 year is next year, and I'm not sure we are having one.  We didn't have a 5 year or a 10 year - we finally got our $hit together in time to have a 15 year.  I got super drunk at it because Hubs (then FI) kept handing me scotches, and I kept drinking them.  I remember dancing on a stage, and a classmate carrying me off.  Yeah, I was THAT girl at the reunion.  I'm not sure I'd want to go if we have a 20 year.
