Ever felt nervous around a friend you haven't seen in a while?

Ever felt nervous or awkward around an old friend you haven't seen or talked to in a while and happened to run into somewhere?

With friends I haven't seen since high school maybe; not real friends which stick around.. Usually they ask what I've been up to and all those interogating questions.. I explain a bit and they try to interrupt saying how cool it is and glad that I'm doing good for myself, etc.. You know, the typical speel.. Afterwards, I walk away and treat them like every other fake dipsh*t that asks about my life but that doesn't care.

Yeah. Normally I don't wanna talk to them but I don't wanna be rude and act like I don't know them, so it gets really awkward. Also, if one person greets the other, the other gets all the power in the convo by acting like they didn't recognize the first person right away. So both people put off the greeting for as long as possible and it gets even more awkward.

deffinetly. sept he was ma crush. and he moved two towns away. a while ago we saw each other at the mall. I almost had a heart attack! I looked so stressed! soon, we ended up exchanging phone numbers and now I gots contact again! ;)

Yeah I think it's because I haven't talked to said person in a while so you don't know anything about them (example: who they like how they've been their problems etc) and you don't know what to talk about at first..

Yes, at first. After a while it's fine. Small talk is there to break the ice.

yh I have its a bit weird at first but after the the first 5 min its not too bad and gets better the more you talk ect

Yes, every time. They go from the friend category to the acquaintance category after a while. I feel nervous around anyone I'm not that close with though.
