What would you think and feel if an old classmate started chatting with you on social networks after one year?

1. Am I supposed to think or feel something?

2. Feels normal? As long as they’re not trying to talk to me about their MLM because they’re a BossBabe, I don’t know why there’s an issue.

3. Depends. Anything from they miss me to they want something from me.

4. It depends on our previous relationship. If we were never cool or never friends, leave me alone. If we were cool and cordial then I’d probably reply and see why they’re hitting me up.

5. Ask myself what sort of MLM pitch they are about to give me.

6. I’m not interested in keeping contact with any of them so I’d likely just ignore it.

7. There is no one my age from school I would ever be interested in talking to, ever. A couple teachers I would be touched if they remember me, though.

8. this is oddly specific. are you afraid to text her?

   I wouldn’t feel anything

9. That they want to drag me into some fishy pyramid scheme.

10. “ooh hii wassup ?? How’s lyf”

11. Basically they reached out, I reached back and we had a nice conversation. End of story.

12. Most likely I would ignore it, I wasn’t really friends with any classmates so I have no desire to “catch up” with any of them

13. It usually means they’re involved in some sort of pyramid scheme and looking for marks.

14. As a baseline, nothing in particular. It would depend almost entirely upon the relationship we’d had during school, and the tone/apparent intent of this new communication.

    Personally, I’d be unlikely to respond, with exceptions for *maybe* two or three people. Nothing good back there for me and no desire for the reminder. The huge majority would lead to a response along the lines of “oh, shit, you again? **Block**.”

15. After one year of what?

    The last time I was in school was in 1998, so if a long lost classmate found me, I would be impressed.

16. Uninterested.
