Somebody Asks “What Happened To The Lonely Guy In Your High School Class?” And 27 Folks Answer
You know how in high school films, there are different kinds of students? Like there are popular kids, athletes, nerds and quiet kids. Well, I am sure there are many more and in every school there are different ones, but popular and lonely kids can be found everywhere. At least in every film.

He married a pretty artist from Syracuse and also typed this sentence
he ended up graduating top of the class, got a full ride scholarship to cornel got his masters makes 7 figures a year and is happily married with two kids. i was one of his few friends in highschool and dude is doing amazing in all aspect of his life
He became an entrepreneur of a really successful company.
Employed the 3 jokers who used to bully the heck out of him. They still don't know who he is.
Well, I just googled him and he's a Georgetown law professor.
Just Googled him. Apparently he finally got a girlfriend in college, got her pregnant, then [took theirs and his own life]. Jesus. I wish I hadn't checked.
He became an actually model for high class perfumes and brands and not one those instagram / tik tok " models "
The person I always thought of as possibly lonely retained the same couple of friends for the past 13 years and they still seem to enjoy getting together and doing the things they did back then. Video games, anime, etc.
One of the most happy-go-lucky, friendly, and popular guys I knew took his own life a couple of years back.
It always seems to be the one who look the happiest. A local guy who everyone knew and loved because of his happy smile and big-hearted, friendly ways took his own life about a year ago and everyone bar one or two close confidants was completely shocked.
That was me. I always sat at my own table with the occasional foreign exchange student. I got out of school and worked really hard. I just turned 48 and I still haven't peaked. I have a large portfolio of real estate and do a lot of traveling. I wanted something more for myself but I didn't really have that confidence until after school. I now live an incredible life. There is hope for us losers who aren't afraid of a little work.
There's something to be said about people who call other people losers. It shows a adolescent, meanspirited frame of mind and I condemn it whole heartedly.
I joined the navy at seventeen. Married at thirty.retired at fifty five.
In high school I could go weeks without a word spoken to me.
F**k my early life all to hell.
I wish I had your sense of self. I sit and wallow, like a lot of others do too, in my early life. I wallow in the missed opportunities I thought I made peace with, but find in hindsight it's not really the case. I wallow in the negative but not before rubbing honey all over myself before nuzzling and commiserating with. Be amazing to f my early life.
Got cancer very suddenly and died,went to his funeral he was just 16 the youngest in our class,truly a tragedy.
He is sitting in a data science conference reading Reddit.

still lonely, However he worked his way up within a KFC franchise through high school and bought his first house early on even though he didn’t do well at school. Then worked in the army for 10 years and bought property 2 and 3. Now works as a director on a cruise liner and goes country to country by himself
No partners or girlfriends ever but financially well off
He joined a cult and completely cut ties with his family. There was an article written about said cult recently and his name pops up quite a bit, so he must have some kind of position of authority in it.
Hard to really say who was really lonely or not. Plenty of lonely people that forced themselves in the crowd.
Anyways there was a kid his sister was one of the prettiest most popular at school. She was a senior and he was a freshman. He got the principal to let him put on a concert for lunch period for his band. One of the teachers watching lunch shut him down because he was doing “screamo music” about pop tarts. A month later he shot himself in the head.
Everyone plays it off that he was lonely etc. I never believed that and I thought his concert took a lot of self courage. He was hanging out with his friends. It was the bullying because he wanted to be himself and not fit in the norm. His sister stopped going to school and idk what happened to her. It’s sad how cruel we as kids are.
There was a boy that was in my class at primary school aged 8. He was very quiet, had no close friends, hardly spoke, and smelled really bad-not his fault at that age obviously, but he just smelled of musty mildew and urine like he hadn't washed. He was bullied relentlessly-those who didn't participate in the active bullying stood by and did nothing. One day, our teacher sent him off to give another teacher a message, and she told off the entire class, telling us how ashamed of us she was for bullying him. After that, he was just ignored. We ended up at the same high school, and he was ignored through that too. He left at age 16 with no qualifications. I was back in my home town 30 years later and I saw him-he looked about 70 (we were in our 40s), still really scruffy, greasy hair, grubby looking. I've no idea what he did after school, or what his life was like. I always felt guilty for ignoring him in school, he must have had a rotten childhood.
He grew several inches after high school.. went into tech. Was very successful and now has a supermodel wife and a beautiful family..
Another guy became a pediatric surgeon. Was married and had a daughter.. over the years his wife disappeared from his Facebook post and it was just him and his daughter.. in a few years ago he married a super model Eastern European nurse.
And the third guy climbed into a bottle and never got out...
I'm eastern European here. We may be attractive but we're pretty crazy lol.
Married with four kids, good career.
Just took him a little longer than some to come out of his shell.
(It was me)
Haven’t heard from him in 8+ years. I know he made a couple attempts on his own life before. I just hope he’s doing okay now.
Ours was a lonely girl, and we have been trying to track her down actually. Last we heard she was homeless and a [illegal substance] addict. I really hope she’s doing better because she was a sweet girl, just very shy.
We are censoring the phrase 'drug addict' now? Way to be part of the problem BP.
Shot himself in the head after his attempt to wrap around a tree didn’t work. He’s now being taken care of by his 78 year old mother.
I got a degree, got married, started a career. Not much different form others, just started later.
That was me! Got my master's and work for a large bank as an analyst. Still single though.
Learnt that he [took his own life] 2 years ago. Apparently because he was accused of bad stuff and didn't want to go to jail. I was also pretty lonely most of my scholarship, but in high school I had the luck of finding a small group of friend that adopted me.
Got all incel about a girl who was dating a guy he didn't like. Stole a rifle from a neighbor and shot him dead, and wounded a few others. He was immediately caught and sent to prison. Just got out a year ago or so after 18 years or so.
Explain why murderers don't end up with life/death penalty. Where the f is Justice?
He's me :3 I'm doing my best to make friends and be social and approaching girls, but literally nothing is working and I have pretty much lost all hope. People objectively worse than me seem to be winning, douche bags, abusers, etc. They all have friends, girlfriends, social circle, and I'm a decent human being with hobbies that exist outside and off the internet, I'm well read, and I like latin dancing. I can't make it work. I give up.
I’m getting incel vibes off this one… (edit: you’re right, more nice guy than incel, but similar)
I feel like this is a good reminder to take a look around at everyone. Hi, everybody, Ɛ>
I was scared to talk to anyone in school. I was younger than all of my classmates. However my school was in a small locality and only the kids from nearby area went there. Everyone know everyone. Talked to everyone at least once. But there was this girl who made sure I had company. I owe her for that. I topped the class. Completed my masters at twenty. Got a "good job" at a very young age. Job and personal life worked together and ruined my mental health. Now I don't have a job or a personal/social life. I cry everyday. I don't know where my life is going. I don't know how I ended up here. I do nothing but cry. I hope things get better for me. I hope things get better for everyone who is struggling.
I hope things get better for you soon. I do believe they WILL get better - bad things can't last forever.
