It takes me a while sometimes to recognize them. I keep hoping I haven't changed too much in terms of appearance. I still have old friends remember me after they haven't seen me for years. But then there are those who don't say anything and I'm not sure if they really don't remember me or just don't want to talk (unless they're drunk). It's surprising how many more people suddenly know you when they've had some drinks.
Do you guys get this feeling too?
I've found people from HS don't recognize me at all now. I recognize people ok though.. some people I've known don't change physically at all it seems.
I graduated from high school in 1975, so almost 40 years later, I would be shocked if I recognized any of them. Funny they all look old, saggy and wrinkled. Not me though. I don't look a day over 55.
The Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about
i thought people stopped changing so much after high school. that's when we're grown up right? when i went to my k-8th reunion my senior year of high school i could recognize everyone and MOSTLY remember their names. and during that time period people changed a lot but that's expected. the guys i think i noticed changed more than the girls (some a lot some a medium amount) but everyone was recognizable. its not like i added any of these kids on facebook or anything or kept in contact with a lot of the friends i had, so i hadn't seen pictures of them throughout high school. and after high school unless its like 10 years or more afterwards i'm pretty sure the differences wouldn't be any more pronounced than it was seeing how different kids middle school selves was from their high school ones. so DO some people look different after high school? i wouldn't really expect them to very much unless they make sweeping stylistic and cosmetic changes to themselves. but the time to do that is high school and if you didn't do it by then you might in college but likely not. and if you don't go to college then its probably even less likely still.
Pickin' and Grinnin'!
I haven't changed at all since those days for me, well, the age I would be at the time If I had stayed.
I have to redo high school this coming year. 4 months of hard work but I'll be so happy for it!

I didn't go to high school, so I wouldn't know. ¬_¬

I really hope no one would recognize me now. All those jerks can kiss my butt.

Well I still have my same facial features but I've lost baby fat around my face, ditched the goth stuff, cut my hair, colored it & not as big as I use to be. I haven't ran into anyone from High School since I dropped out back in 2011 so I wouldn't know what they think & really don't care cause all them bastards tortured me.
