• It's common for high school reunions to trigger anxiety about appearance and status. Most of us want to forget our teenage self-conscious emotions that resulted from hormonal changes and social pressures. But years later, at a class reunion, those old insecurities get triggered.Reunions present a marker of time. The inclination to re-live the self-consciousness and vulnerability of youth, and the anxieties it created about being good enough, can lead you to examine your present view of yourself. The collision of past and present is also a time of self-reflection, measuring who you are against what you wished for yourself and what you think your peers expected of you.
• Along with the inevitable resurfacing of emotional memories, it's important to recognize that reunions are not at all about comparisons and judgments. Reunions are about reconnecting--and connection is what people really want and need. A connection to school was a safe haven for many.Adolescent friendship may have been the guardian of your self-esteem, or the absence of connection, even if you were in a crowd, may have resulted in loneliness.Reunions evoke the emotional vulnerabilities you've buried from your adolescence.
• Even the most confident adults can regress in the face of reunions,Emotional memories are very strong, so when people are thrown back into a high school context they trigger the self-conscious emotions most common in adolescence: embarrassment, shame, guilt and pride.But such fears are based on the expectation that others will judge you as harshly as you judge yourself.
• Its seen that the most important factor in the decision to attend a reunion was the memory people had of high school. Those who recalled having a great time, and the more popular kids, were more eager to go back. The less popular kids were less likely to attend, sometimes worrying that no one would remember them.
