I let my anxiety get the better of me and I didn't acknowledge a former class mate from HS (beehaw.org)

Well today I attended a HS graduation ceremony for my siblings, I myself graduated a few years ago from that school, in that ceremony a classmate of mine sat close to where I was so I had a lot of chances to greet her but I didn't, I was always a shy guy with lots of anxiety but damn I wonder if I left a bad impression.

I was never really close with girls in my class but still I feel bad, regardless I had a brief DM exchange with this classmate a few months ago so it makes me feel worse. 🫤

If you think that they will not understand that anxiety makes social interactions harder, are they worth pursuing? If you do think this way, why?

You're letting it get the best of you right now, odds are that they're probably not even thinking about it.

You still have a chance to speak with them in any case. The only person telling you otherwise is you.

You're right I'm thinking through this too much while she might not be thinking about it at all, it isn't worth. Even if she does or did think about it, she knew me for 3 years afterall and would know it's how I am sometimes.

Also true, the DMs are always an options so I can catch up with her anytime.

Hell yeah, I know all too well how this feels so I've got tears in my eyes but I wish you the best of luck.
