If you do want to catch up, make sure to do it with both carts in the middle of the aisle. Also, if people try to get past you make sure you don’t move and look at them as if they are rude for interrupting your reunion.
I was homeless in highschool so the bar is apparently set mega low for me when it comes to running into people from highschool. People are just glad that I'm alive and not on drugs and not homeless.
I don't disagree or shit on their positivity, I just don't want to explain my life to people that never understood me to begin with.
Like, for example, boys used to play this trick on me where they'd say "my buddy wants to ask you out" and his friend would get all mad then they'd laugh at me. Being honest, it hurt.
One of those guys ran into me at a party years later and asked me for my number for real. I declined and he asked why. I told him what he'd done and really there was no good feels in reminding a dude that he'd hurt me. There was no Justice in it, I just felt bad for the guy. I felt shitty for pointing out his past shittiness.
People from highschool just remind me of a time when I lived in my $250 car and worked after school as a janitor so I could eat and drive to places where I could wash my clothes, shower, or park overnight. No one my age understood what living like that was like. School was my safe place and my peers shit on that. I don't want to have fake conversations and I don't want people to feel bad when I tell them that the homeless girl from highschool didn't forget their bullshit.

Shit like this makes me so happy I don't live where I graduated HS. That place was filled with evil people.
