Serious What to do when approached by people from the past?

[TheJester]

A question I should have but never asked any of my therapists...yesh I quit the second one already.

Surprisingly despite living 80 km away from my hometown I am living in a larger city and even amongs HUNDREDS of thousands of people I get regulary greeded and approched by people I haven't seen in 10+ years.

These people always assume I am stuck in my teenage personality - does that happen to anyone else?

Just today, I went outside and I had that EXPECTATION to meet someone from Highschool and I did, I had no clue who these 2 dudes were. Two HTN almost Chad looking tattooed guys. We didnt talk long, one of the dudes didn't recognize me much he was apparently FROM A PARALLEL CLASS of my Elementary school, the other guy from my own elementary school class and then went to my (first) Highschool with me.

I couldn't recognize either of them btw for better or worse thats why the convo was short amd superfical.

Still felt weird. Because I expected to meet someone from the past.

And to get mogged, both mogged me. Tall, good looking, extremly muscular. Both good friends that seem to go to the gym apparently.

Most certainly sex havers. I didnt ask for their relationship if they have girlfriends who knows, but definitely no fucking incels.

Ahhh I got mogged. I felt quite anxious.

How do I handle these situations better?

When I walked home - because I did a little jog a few miles (9.3 km actually) I was only thinking about them and other guys from my past. It's kinda weird. How did I end up with NOBODY. This is still weird, I was the least criminal, but obviously I couldn't really concentrate too much on socials.

I fucking went to 4 Highschools and got mentally and socially fucked by Corona.

Nigga when I see people from my past we awkwardly try not to notice each other. Even with some that I have been good in school.

There is nothing positive or something to gain from it besides some shitty small talk.

 

[twisted]

I try to just ignore them most of the time pretend I didn't see them, if they shout ur name its a wrap I'm usually forced into saying hi

I mean TECHNICALLY you dont know them.

Like I said these people always talk with me like its 2010.

I met a dude RANDOMLY in some street he was screaming my name out of the window. I looked up and couldn't make him out (I have short sigh due to excessive phone and PC usage).

He told me his Name and I could somehow make out who he was, he had no recognizeable face, I hadnt seen him in almost 14 years. Also he is almost bald cut, while in 4th and 5th grade he had extremly long almost back long hair.

...out of nowhere he starts talking about POKEMON TRADING CARD GAME...I was confused...He asked me whether I still collected cards.

Well I did collect from 3th to 8th grade like between age 8 and 13 I collected them cards.

I was CONFUSED why does he talk about this? I even told him that this is awkward, we are full blown adultsy nobody our age plays pokemon tcg or collects cardw besides YouTubers.

Well even IF I would still collect them (waste of space and money either way) but like...its been 14 fucking years my guy. Why does he talk about this?

The fuck? i never experience anything like that, that shit is weird

You have no fucking clue. Even my mother recently might have realized it that we are trapped in some kinda matrix.

Something must have cursed me that I ended up in this Position and always be disrespected by people.

But I think its also due to Social Media and this whole whatsapp stuff.

For example I never was part of larger social media and I did not have a smartphone before age 14 which was in 2014 much later then me peers because my parents considered it to be too expensive even a phone got just 150€ was too expensive for these idiots. Which meant I missed out A LOT on my social cues.

Everyone was connected via WhatsApp and Facebook except me.

And what I belive now is back then a LOT of people told lies to a lot of other people about me. I might have been stalked because of my exquisite jestermaxxing or because I was bullied by teachers and fucking got eventually pissed off by it and bullied the teachers back.

Regardless I have NO CLUE what SOMEONE said about me over the internet.

Thats why I am always confused how so many people still know me despite that I have no friends, no social circle, nothing. And never really did much past age 16.

Maybe 17 to 19 it was the last time I had "fake friends". But yeah, no clue what was spread about me throughout the internet.

 

[Hoppipolla]

Maybe they are in fact homosexual together

But yah I come across as kind of teenage too. I feel like it doesn't matter though as long as it doesn't limit your ability to succeed as an adult.

A few times when I was in my hometown I saw people I knew from HS & intentionally avoided them

The few times I have encountered someone, I seemingly do what I can to give a vague answer that somewhat shows I'm on the "right track"

Typically I'm only recognized because my mom is recognized, I look much different than I used to and most people who've known me are my parents friends. Generally I just go with the flow, pretend I recognize these people as well and generally try to NTmaxx. I actually get a fair amount of compliments from them because I used to be a fat kid and have since lost a lot of weight.

[antisocialcel]

idk, that's why I use a mask, cap and whatever else I can do to cover my true identity, and I live in the same house so I'm always paranoic, luckily I think I'm kinda different nowadays, maybe they won't recognize me, fuck "friends", fuck colleagues, leave the past there, let it die!
