I was good friends with this dude from like kindergarten all the way until the end of middle school but we went to separate friend groups in high school and just lost contact. When I was friends with him he was a right winger but his profile was recommended to me on Instagram recently and I saw he follows a bunch of Marxist accounts. I'm pretty lonely right now because a lot of my friends have either moved or I'm just not super close with. And a lot of my friends have somewhat good politics but none are explicitly Marxist. So I kinda want to reconnect with this old friend. So what I'm asking is would it be weird to try to reconnect and if not, what is the correct way to go about reconnecting (we don't have any mutual friends btw).
doooo it. people usually get excited when old friends hit them up. you shouldn't have to do much more then say you just found them and want to catch up.
Do it. You lose nothing by trying. I sometimes isolate myself and a message from a friend is a ray of sunshine in that darkness.
Worst is they just ghost you. Best is you make their day, put a smile on both your faces, and rekindle a friendship. I say toss the dice. "Throw them bones" as I like to say.
Bruh I would literally cry with joy if a shithead freind of my line came out of the woodwork with " hey I'm Marxist now too and we should reconnect"
yeah i wasnt planning on that cuz i dont even follow him. We go to the same college and i saw him from a distance a few weeks ago so I'm thinking of just messaging him and being like "hey i saw you at school i know its been a long time but was wondering if youd want to hang out" you think thats a good opener?
This post had inspired me to message a friend from a few years back
right winger in middle school?
Anyway reconnect you're like 5 years old who fuckin cares
im taking about in middle school when i was last friends with him not the entire time
not weird at all! that's just what being an adult is like. sometimes you don't see people for a while, and then maybe you reconnect.
I'd be fucking ecstatic if someone I hadn't talked to in 5 years hit me up
