Met up with an old school friend this weekend and inevitably reminisced about secondary school. We are early 30s now so this was a while ago but not gone from memory! I can’t help feeling really wistful about the past but also regretting how stupidly shy I was etc. I had lots of friends but I remember so much stress caused by the fact I was too shy to kiss a boy or whatever. Ridiculous I know as no one should be forced into anything but AIBU to sometimes wish I could go back and tell my 15 year old self to lighten up a bit and just kiss him/ask that boy out/tell that bitchy friend to go away etc.?? I was a real goody goody and always had good grades (which has paid off career wise!) but I do think I was very serious and over anxious!!
Not sure what I’m getting out here but I’m feeling soooo nostalgic and keep thinking how different I am now, confidence wise! I wish I could give my younger self advice!
Anyone else ever feel like this about school days?? Or am I just mental??
