How not to become a victim of nostalgia

Anonim

They communicate every day in social networks, but sometimes else meet. Does people still have reasons for conversations with an eye on the eye after virtual chatter? Reel, maybe a little, but even eliminate impressions.

It was this conclusion that I did after a familiar told about his meeting with classmates. She slept in this case by chance - with the filing of a school girlfriend, which recently was its only bridge in the past. And this bridge turned out to be quite reliable so that after the persuasion my friend suddenly discovered himself among those whom she once knew.

After several hours of communication, the girl left the cafe in a slightly tightened feelings. According to her, everything went wrong so that terrible, but not without surprises. For example, quiet in ugly glasses ... Such she was at school, and now taxes the accounting in a large company, says by a team voice, trying to build everyone, and her glasses are quite decent. Or a jerk with crooked teeth ... He turned into a metrosexual with a Hollywood smile and an instagramy maniac. The day does not pass so that he will not posted a photo from a prestigious institution, a business class salon, at a thin end in the interior of his papusary SUV. And the class, botanic and the worker of the morality ... declared in the skirt, which is correctly called short, and after a couple of glasses, it was loudly retracted: "To deceive himself, I want to be here and now, but prevent the fool's rules of good tone, tights and insufficient number of booze ..." . In general, my friend is slightly upset, deciding that her life is uninteresting. I could have tried to encourage the victim of nostalgia, but I caught myself thinking that the expert and according to classmates, and for classmates from me is not very. I know that many of them are alive and healthy, sometimes they meet and from time to time they offer to join, but I have something else or more interesting, or more interesting.

Not sure that my ignoring of the children-youth environment can be promoted as an exceptionally reasonable behavior. And one colleague on work will definitely say that I deprive myself a great pleasure that can be obtained from such a kind of dates. He does not miss them and says that he began to look different in classmates, especially classmates. They are usually found in karaoke, and it is even scary to imagine how there are former classmates there, so that they could look different. However, I never understood the charm of karaoke, and I somehow do not want to open classmates. My wife will be the same ...

At the same time, I am confident that you do not need to be afraid of the past. Here, my old friend is no longer afraid and after the first meeting with former already preparing to the second. It seems she wants to look differently at the "feeder with crooked teeth."
