College Reunion

Hey,

I am going to my college reunion in another state in about a month. It is the 10 year reunion. I am feeling very socially anxious about it. I am trying to message some people I was friends with in college and I do have one friend who lives in the same city as me now. However, it has been a long time and I live pretty far away from my old college. I did ok with keeping in touch early on, but not as much as years have passed and it has been hard for me to afford to go back and visit. I don't have a spouse or anything either. I do have a partner, but we've only been dating for 6 months. I am hoping to try to call and check in with him while I'm there though.

I feel very anxious but doing my best to approach in a positive way of thinking of a few people I would like to catch up with and trying to practice self compassion if I feel embarrassed about being socially awkward and feeling like I don't have a lot of friends there.

Would appreciate some encouragement or if anyone can relate.
