Forgettable Me

I have come to realize I am probably one of the most forgettable people you will ever meet. Running in to old high school friends and seeing the looks on their face when I say hello. I can see the wheels grinding as they try to remember who I am. Or the freakish looks when they dont remember. There was a guy in my study hall that used to run his fingers through my waist long hair everday in seventh period. We talked, hung out had most of our classes together but when I saw him out and nudged his shoulder to say hey I got “Who the hell are you?!”. I sheepishly explained who I was while my mind went wild thinking I was talking to the wrong person an I was crazy. Let me interject a small fact, I never forget a face and mine hasn’t changed a bit since I was 10 . I asked him if his name was so and so, which it was but he still looked at me like I was crazy. Red face embarrassed I just walked away. But I have people come up to me that I have never met, spoken to or heard of walk up and say hello. I honestly dont get how the people I spent the most time with growing up dont remember me. Ladies do you remember in like middle school when all your little friends would buy your whole clique gifts? I was always out shopping for the perfext little trinkets for my 5 best friends. When I got to school the next day we would huddle together and hand them out. Can you guess what happened? You probably got it right…all 5 friends got gifts for everyone but me. I know ita probably lame but I always used to feel so bad. I have always thought of myself as a good friend but have I ever surrounded myself with good friends? How many of you have had this experience?

  1. I have had the opposite experience where remembering people is concerned. There are people who I have spent much time with in the past and I cannot remember them at all. I either pretend and don’t engage in conversation, or just tell them that I don’t know who they are. Super akward…

  2. Who could forget you? Your a talented writer, intelligent, and pleasing to the eyes, a better a question, Who would want to forget someone like you?..Not I..
