I reconnected with old friends I have not seen nor spoken to in 11-12 years. I was extremely nervous to message them, but they all responded with positive replies. Just tell them "hi" and tell them you hope they are doing well. Something sweet, genuine and simple. I have no regrets with reconnecting with them despite my initial anxiety.

This is super helpful, I really am looking forward to get better at keeping in touch. A lot of people have been great to me, and I havent reciprocated the way I should have... This is the most pressing thing I need to change in my life

@ExplearningCo 2 года назад

That's a wonderful and actionable goal, Chaz! So many of us need to do more reconnecting with people who are positive forces in our lives! Thank you for sharing your experience and insights.

@Theability83 2 года назад

I’m almost 40 yrs old and I just reached out to 2 old friends today actually. One was a friend I had since the 4th grade that we lost touch in our 20s, another was a friend from HS that I played in a church band with and lost touch with him after HS. Now that I’m an adult I don’t really have any friends and it really sucks tbh. The older you get the harder it seems to make friends or to be integrated into a group of friends. I’ve become more withdrawn from social things the older I’ve gotten because I’ve had way to many bad experiences with people since my mid 20s thru now.

@roryroopa 2 года назад

Can I ask you how your talk with yout friend from high school went? Were you happy you did it or did you regret reaching out I'm worried about reaching out to my friend from high school over 12 years ago. I miss them and want to say hello, but I think it'll be awkward to reach out.

@itsjess97 2 года назад

@roryroopa 2 года назад

@@itsjess97 I know that feeling :( getting ghosted sucks. Fyi, I still didn't reach out to the friend above. I reached out to someone else instead from the same friend group. That didn't go so well lol. We didn't click anymore and that makes me sad. Lowkey I regret reaching out. So idk, be prepared for that outcome too: that you could be different people. But you'll never know unless you try.

@initiatorhater0688 3 года назад

my view, perspective, is that people who just flatout ignore someone who tries to get in contact with them again after years without seeing or talking to each other, attempting to reconnect, won't be upfront with them, just ignore them, i like to view them as cowards, thats what i went through with one of my former friends, thinking about him gets me mad because of that, i feel i was denied closure

@lauraogrady8232 3 года назад

It might hurt but no one owes you a response. They’re life might be very busy or they might feel weird about the time passed since you were friends. Of course it stings and is pretty rude of them to ignore, and it would be great if they reached out, but if you can simply let it go and know you’re probably better off without them, then you’ll be better off!

@initiatorhater0688 3 года назад

@@lauraogrady8232 nevertheless, i'm entitled to my perspective, view, people who are like that, who don't give a response or just flat-out ignore the person, they are cowards, i like to feel that the bridge died along with his old man, since i was unaware for many years that his Dad passed away when he was still in high school.

@zrie6907 3 года назад

@@initiatorhater0688 Come to think of it, it kinda does but that doesn't mean theres no other reason why they haven't responded, that doesn't mean you should call them out like that. Remember that there's other way to connect and reconnect, try talking to them on person maybe that will change, a lot of people don't like chatting so that maybe the reason why they didn't respond

@Enchanteralle Год назад

It would really hurt if someone receives your message and not respond. The relationship may not be the same if two people don't talk for years (childhood friends and now in adulthood), but if there's no fallout or terrible fights, and the person doesn't respond to your message, it just means the person isn't willing to connect again....for a variety of reasons. I believe some people may have moved on in life so that when an old friend connect, there might be some memories and life events at the time that they try to disassociate from. Everyone gets busy, but in this day and age, people are always online or on their phones. I think if we go into the situation with the mindset of being ok for not getting a response and you simply reached out just to say whatever you need to say to that old friend it would reduce possible disappointment. Now if there's a fallout or a toxic friend tries to reach out again, it makes sense the other person might not want to reconnect.

My fiancée and I lost a friend back in 2013. We met her in 2011 my fiancée and I want to talk it out with her and work it out with her. We miss her so much she was one of the best friends we ever had. When we lost her it gave me anxiety and I felt hurt so bad. To be honest its been almost eight years we can work out because we are a lot older now back then I was 21 now I am 29 and my fiancée is 29 and that friend of ours is almost 25. But you can always be friends with them if you did have a falling out no matter what.

@Kassiex5 4 месяца назад

What if you feel like if you don’t reach out , y’all will never speak & that you’ve always been the one reaching out .. ? Should you really still bother or let it go ?

I had the best friend I've ever had a while ago, we could literally do anything together. We just drifted apart but lately I've been thinking of her more and I miss her. I moved phones so I don't have her number, all I have is her Roblox sooooooooo hopefully I can mention something to her and get my friend back!

I happened to want to reach out to an old friend of mine (she used to by my classmate). She was one of my close friends but also my crush at the same time. I recently saw her instagram post including 1 of my current classmates. Few days before I also wrote her a happy birthday message since it was her bday and I'm geniuenly a nice guy. Those 2 really made me think about all the nice memories I had with her. I've been wondering how to reconnect with her but it seems like I don't have enough courage to reach out to her. I would just brush it off if not the fact that my feelings for her came back. Does anyone have an idea that could possibly help me?

@hailtothebiscuit9636 Год назад

Give her a simple message saying how are you and that you haven't talked in ages. Sometimes it takes a simple first message to start a conversation about catching up on past relationships.

@thepeterx Год назад

@@hailtothebiscuit9636 it did, the 3 weeks ago. But as she didn't seem to put any effort I just decided to cut the contacy again, because I am not going to be the one who always starts the conversation. Like if I don't send the first message then no one will reach out to me (except for my 4 close friends)
