Well today I attended a HS graduation ceremony for my siblings, I myself graduated a few years ago from that school, in that ceremony a classmate of mine sat close to where I was so I had a lot of chances to greet her but I didn’t, I was always a shy guy with lots of anxiety but damn I wonder if I left a bad impression.

I was never really close with girls in my class but still I feel bad, regardless I had a brief DM exchange with this classmate a few months ago so it makes me feel worse. 🫤

    It helps me to remember that these things work both ways. She had just as much opportunity to greet you as you did to greet her. Neither of you are bad people. Neither of you were there for each other. It’s not a bad thing to just be there for your family.

    And I’ll second that she most likely isn’t thinking about this. My neurotic ass might be tempted to DM her, but only if I couldn’t find a way to make peace with myself. I hope you find a way to cut yourself some slack ;)

      I’ll avoid DMing her right away as I could make things awkward for real when they don’t deserve to be. But I will definitely try to catch up with her later if she’s fine with it.
