High school...acquaintances?
Through facebook meandering, seeing a picture of a high school classmate triggered a realization deep within my psyche that I truley do not know most of my graduating class anymore. Sure I would recognize them on the street, but they have aged, grown, changed--it is a paradox, if we'd ever meet, because in a way it feels I would be meeting somebody for the first time, however I already know their name and a small bit of their history, an image of a person that may or may not even exist within this new person I encounter.
That is probably one reason it becomes awkward when you perchance run into such a person. You feel obligated to talk as ones who know each other, but really you don't, and it would almost make more sense to introduce yourselves as ones who have never met.
