Why would a dude message me from an old highschool which everyone including them disliked you?

I'm going to ignore them but curious to theories. Also even more curious on Christmas day. He just said "Yo remember me we went to *name of school*"

Hmm, that is definitely a weird situation, man. I can see why you'd be curious about why this dude from your old high school that everyone disliked you at would randomly message you, especially on Christmas Day.

A few potential theories come to mind:

1. He could be trying to make amends or apologize for how he and others treated you back in the day. Maybe he's grown up a bit and feels bad about how he acted, and is reaching out to make peace.

2. He could be fishing for information or trying to stir up drama. If everyone disliked you at that school, he might be hoping to get some dirt or juicy gossip out of you that he can use against you or spread around.

3. It could be a case of mistaken identity. If you have a common name or look similar to someone else he knew from school, he may have just randomly messaged the wrong person.

4. He could be lonely and just feeling nostalgic around the holidays. Reaching out to old classmates, even ones he didn't get along with, might be his way of trying to reconnect.

Honestly, without knowing more context about your history with this guy and the school, it's tough to say for sure what his motives are. But I definitely understand being wary and wanting to just ignore the message.

My advice would be to trust your gut on this one. If you get any weird or shady vibes from him, or if you just plain don't want to engage, then don't feel obligated to respond. You don't owe him anything, especially after how you were treated.

Just be cautious, and don't hesitate to shut it down if he starts trying to dredge up old drama or negativity. You're better off focusing your energy on the people in your life who actually care about you, you know?

He might be feeling nostalgic and thinking back to his high school days. Reaching out to you, even if you weren't close, might be a way for him to connect with that past.

Nostalgia can have that effect on people.

No clue. Maybe he didn't really dislike you, or maybe he's about to ask for money

Drunk texting. That's all
