Why is it considered socially unacceptable or weird to contact someone you used to be close with when a lot of time has passed since the last time you spoke?
>>18219513
because for some reason or another you let the relationship dissipate and you've both likely changed severely over time. you're essentially strangers with some shared memories.

It is not weird nor unacceptable unless she is your EX and you already have new gf.
>>18219513
Because life goes on and by doing something like that you're implying that you haven't. Contacting people from your past is basically just saying that you've got nothing worthwhile occupying you now, so you cling to memories of the people you used to know.

its literally not. i have never heard anyone say this, in fact our entire social media movement is based around the idea of getting in touch with people you would not otherwise see or meet again.
sounds like what you're really trying to ask is
>why does this girl get weirded out by me continuing to internet stalk her after she rejected me 3 years ago

It's a metaphor you fucking airhead.

Follow-up questions isn't arguing, I genuinely want to understand

It's a pretty retarded one. I bet you're still in high school.

With that metaphor you're saying that clinging to memories of people you used to know is bad, but you're not answering what's so bad about the contacting in itself.
