Class reunions make people anxious.

Kabir903

Those classmates who haven't been in contact for a long time but suddenly reach out are mostly up to no good. For me, class reunions are like a magic mirror, reflecting the diverse paths our former classmates have taken after graduation. Some have achieved great success in their careers, while others are struggling and facing various pressures in life. Seeing those classmates who have fared better than myself always leaves me with a complex and indescribable sense of bitterness.

Class reunions serve as a race against time, revealing the varied trajectories our classmates have followed since graduating from university. Some have prospered, enjoying successful careers, while others face uncertainties and life's numerous challenges. When I see classmates who have done better than me, my feelings are always a mix of complex and bitter emotions.

The existence of class reunions is a constant competition against time. Since graduating from college, we have entered our respective life paths, with some buying houses and cars, and achieving career success, while others experience ups and downs at life's crossroads, plagued by the twists and turns of life. Although my life isn't particularly miserable, comparing it to those classmates who are doing better always makes me feel like I'm not doing exceptionally well.

Perhaps, this sense of bitterness stems from an inherent tendency to compare ourselves to others. We are accustomed to comparing our own lives with those of others, observing who has gone further and who is more successful. Seeing classmates with successful careers and happy families inevitably prompts self-reflection on our own lives. This kind of comparison often leads to an intangible sense of competition, and the resulting bitterness feels like the disappointment of losing a competition.

However, if we calm down and reflect, we may find that this bitterness doesn't solely arise from comparison. A deeper reason may be the uncertainty about our own future and questioning the choices made in the past. Seeing classmates doing better than ourselves might prompt us to reflect on whether our choices were correct and if we are on the right path. This uncertainty and questioning often spread in the heart, creating a sense of bitterness.

In conclusion, the bitterness felt during class reunions is a complex and multi-layered emotion. It may stem from a comparison with the success of others, but it also arises from uncertainties about our own future. However, just like the magic mirror of class reunions, it serves as a reflection of our life, allowing us to reevaluate and see our own life trajectory.

Just adjust your own mentality, and you'll be fine.

There are things worth learning and things that are not worth it.

Don't be disheartened by comparisons; life's races are different, the key is to walk your own path.
