I just got a wedding invitation from a friend from high school. How odd. Who would have thought that anyone who knew me back then would remember me at all, eleven years past graduation, let alone remember me fondly enough to invite me to their wedding. Even if this was one of my favorite people from high school

I always assume that superficial people are superficial only because they are too shy to reveal their true selves to me. Because no one is really superficial.

Well, first let's draw a distinction between superficial and shallow. Shallow people have no depth to them, but they don't necessarily have any particular prejudice against depth in themselves or others. Superficial people are people who care about--or intentionally come across as caring about--only superficial things, with regards to themselves and others

As for why my friend quickly labeled the person I had difficulty with as "superficial

[rose_garden]

That sounds horrible. The way you describe it, I'm tempted to meet this person and slowly, deliberately, talk about watching paint dry.

Well, it was a YAD event, so who knows--you might someday find yourself in a situation where you would meet her. (This was my first time ever going to a YAD event.)

Also, she would probably interrupt you and change the subject.
