Weird, Death and Awkward: The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated

The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated

Today, I was at my 10-year high school reunion. I saw the girl I used to have a BIG crush on, so I decided to go over and say hi. She screamed when she saw me. Then she started hitting me, looking panicked. I calmed her down and asked why she hit me. She says, "Everyone thought you were dead"' FML

Today, I went to my high school reunion. Someone walked up to me and said, "Wow, you look so different!" She then followed it up with, "You used to be so pretty, what happened?" FML

Today, I ran into an old friend for whom I used to have feelings. I hadn't seen her in years, so I thought it would be funny if I went up to her and said, "Hey, you look familiar, do I know you?" She thought I had really forgotten her and burst into tears. FML

Today, I ran into an old student of mine at the grocery store. She didn't recognize me at first so I introduced myself as her old teacher. She looked taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Oh my God... you're still alive?" FML

Today, I went to a high school reunion. An old friend I hadn't seen in a while suddenly came up to me and gasped, "Oh, thank God!" I was about to greet her and catch up when she added, "I'm not the only one who gained weight!" FML

Today, I went to my former high school's homecoming game. A classmate who I always had a crush on looks up and goes "Brian!", holding her arms out for a hug. I hug her and she seems a bit suprised but hugs back anyway. I get up and see another Brian from our class behind me. Shame. FML

Today, I saw my old high school crush in a grocery store. I panicked, because the last time I saw her, I was spouting embarrassing teenage incel horseshit at her, so I dodged out of view to look at something. She'd seen me, came over, and found me awkwardly crouched in the vegetable section, staring at a cucumber. FML

Today, I ran into one of my exes, and she seemed straight up shocked to see me. She said, "OH MY GOD! You're alive?" like I was a suicide risk or something. Nope, turns out her last 3 boyfriends before me were so unstable that when she cheated on them, they killed themselves shortly after. FML

Today, I went to my high school reunion. I've had a huge glow up since then, and I noticed plenty of women who never spoke to me at the time trying to hit it off with me. It seems the partners of some of those women got jealous and started pressing me. Now I'm getting bullied for being hot? FML

Today, I was at the store when I ran into an old friend from high school. He didn't recognize me at first, but when I told him who I was, he instantly shouted "Oh! Yeah! The fat chick from Mr. H's class!" FML

Ok, even if she thought you were dead, why is hitting an appropriate response?

A good response would have either been "Well, I guess everybody's an idiot then". Or "Damm, I told old whatsisface what my new address was, didn't he pass it on?"

Is it possible that she was the one that told everyone the OP was dead for some strange reason, and hit him because she wasn't expecting him to be there? I dunno, just throwing out possibilities... :)

since graduating highschool I've changed my name and lost contact with just about everyone I went to school with. There's a decent chance my reunion committee will think I died or left the country or something. In which case don't the invite usually make mention of classmates who have passed on? If the committee couldn't find him that may have happened, though I would then wonder how he knwe to attend.

well, it's kind of nice that she has been talking/asking about you..... maybe she likes you. and she must be an idiot... that is the most retarded reaction i've ever heard of anyone having to a situation like that...usually NORMAL people wouldn't even mention the dead part.... just think..'hmm.. i thought he was dead... hmm.. must've been someone else i was thinking of... i should go say hi, he was my high school stalker, after all.'
