Did anyone become someone from being a no-one and run into old friends from your old social circle?

Why the Status of Women You Sleep with Matters in Social Circle

A few weeks back, I asked newsletter subscribers who’d been using Girls Chase material to send in details about their journeys doing so, that I might start building some case studies to use in some upcoming offerings and marketing material. I’ve been working my way through all these case studies...

"That’s why people go to their 30 year high school reunions, and the popular jock who’s now a janitor with an obese wife is still higher status in that group than the quiet nerd who’s since become a mega rich startup founder with a trophy wife – everywhere else in the world, the janitor merits no consideration whatsoever next to the success story, but mixed back into the old group again, the divergence of their paths means nothing, and the former jock still feels like one of the top guys, and the former nerd still feels like one of the guys at the bottom."

Does anyone feel like this is true from experience? I used to be in the lower side of the social circle. But for me I worked on myself a bit and found that when people who thought they were 'higher' than me become almost ashamed when I run into them. Almost like they thought they were better than me but can't believe their eyes at my success.

But also, with my family members who's older than me and seen me grow up, in their head they're still older and sometimes we seem to butt heads.

Any experiences running back into people from your old circle and how status changed?

I've seen some hs kids years down the line and most of them I ended up seeing them at the local gym and they commented on me looking more muscular/brolic lol. Other than that I never really tested out status or displayed my improve social skills with many if any peers from the past.
Don't care for what they think of me. I move on to different or more interesting people. If they didn't respect me back then I don't care for it now. People in my past I generally leave them there.

I don't really consider those things anymore. For years now, I have been all about moving forward instead of analyzing the past. And I have also stopped going to my secondary school reunions.

i have. grew up in a shithole and worked my way up. i travelled all over, now i'm living in the south of france making a decent living.

it went both ways for me. i was bullied severly as a kid, to the point where seeing those guys years down the line gave me flashbacks, and my personality literally returned to being a scared kid.

but they were incredibly respectful with me. and still are to this day. we don't hang out and i'm not a common fixture to their group. but when they see me a few times a year they all look a bit awestruck and act incredibly awkward.

i suspect though if we got back to being in the same circle they'd start testing my mettle socially, just to find out if i really changed
