Is it bad to reconnect with people I haven't talked to in a while?

Like I don't know, I feel like I should to be there for them. Like just recently, I went shopping at my old job to see how people were doing. I went to say hi to some guys I was cool with and we would hang out after work or on off days when I was there. Then I went and they were just talking bad about me to me and I was like what's up with that. Like I wouldn't talk bad about any of them or anyone period and they just called me a whole lot of stuff.
