I have found that having the option to not be friends with someone makes me feel better. I don't have to "make-nice" with the girls I didn't like in hs. It is a choice, but one that you have to dive into, not easy.The Fritz Factshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162992338469733361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906209974269076373.post-81733859323334460282009-06-29T09:28:08.316-05:002009-06-29T09:28:08.316-05:00Whee ...

Mr. Newt said let it go, she doesn't want to be reminded of the old days, and we're both adults now. He's right. Everyone was a shit in HS--I think the pleasure of FB is meeting the adults all those jerks turned into, and seeing how far everyone has come, including yourself. I think you'll find most people will be more generous with you than you are with yourself.Newthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16517611200405647990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906209974269076373.post-90988865992495545062009-06-28T19:55:30.556-05:002009-06-28T19:55:30.556-05:00Yeah... it's crazy. I've reconnected with ...Yeah... it's crazy. I've reconnected with lots of old high school friends that way - but it's not like we are back to being BFFs or anything... but nice to be back peripherally in each other's lives. Now if I ran into them on the street, I wouldn't turn and run away...<br /><br />I agree you need to dive in head first. Uploading your pic is a great start. Instead of thinking of it as a medium to resurrect your hs friendships, think about it as a tool to enhance your current friendships. Start with all your REAL friends, my favorite tool is the e-mail search where it can tell you who from your contact list has a fb account. The old connections, if they turn out positive, are just icing on the cake.<br /><br />You can friend me at facebook.com/MarketingMama if you'd like. :)Marketing Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092466674384204546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906209974269076373.post-56254262089457068442009-06-28T16:13:51.383-05:002009-06-28T16:13:51.383-05:00Facebook CAN really mess with you. I've found ...Facebook CAN really mess with you. I've found some of my FB relationships mirror the relationship I had with the person way back when. You know the person who was your friend only on the weekends her boyfriend wasn't home from college? She's also the friend who writes you one e-mail to catch up and then ignores you.<br /><br />My biggest thing has been reaching out to people from work. I know a lot of them are hooking up on FB and I've shied away from joining them because I like to keep my private life private. I especially don't want to encourage my co-workers to read my blog, but I've discovered I can pick and choose which information is seen by certain friend groups I've set up. That comes in handy.<br /><br />But yeah, I completely understand about the fear of rejection. I feel it with every friend request I send out. Silly, I know, but that's how I'm wired.<br /><br />P.S. Would you like to be MY friend?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771130259652448660noreply@blogger.com
