Hi wow90,

I think that’s why people invented High School reunions LOL. People are constantly evolving, and it is some sort of primal desire to want to connect to people from our old “tribe” even to show them how awesome we are! What happens is one day, somehow, you WILL run into them! Or they will come up to you and be all, “Hey, how are you? I missed you!!” and you’re all, “Wha…?”

This happened to me as a grown azz lady: My son was in a certain sport, and I had to contend with The Queen Bee Mom. She did her best to somehow exclude me from the rest of the parent group. It was awkward. Everyone said it was awkward. She proceeded to say that *I* was awkward! Well, what happened was we both had younger sons go into the sport. The original group’s kids aged out and she was the head of a new hive with much less desirable bees. Suddenly I was the Cool Mom. It would be me as the new Queen Bee or her and me together without the hive. Guess who was my new best friend and FB buddy???

When you settle down and ever have this experience again, just wait it out for a few years. They always turn around. Even your college frienemies online.

Sorry for going on a tangent,

Inky
