Should I talk to my bestfriend or let him talk to me first?

So I just recently heard that my best friend from high school just got home from Texas and now he’s in school and we’re both college students right now. It’s been 3 or 4 yrs since we last seen each other or atleast talked to each other and now that he’s here, I want to meet him and maybe ask him hows his life from texas but I think that after those 3 to 4 yrs maybe he doesn’t remember me that much or I fear that after I talk to him, he might not talk to me again. We had some good and bad during our high school years but we’ve moved on to the bad and looked forward to the good. Right now I’m a little affected by how paranoid I am when I see him, I eventually run away when I see him, there will always be times where I timingly see him but I feel really scared saying hi i dont know why what should i do?

I think you should try to let down your guard, approach him and just say hi. The attempt would be a lot better than never doing it and feeling regret or fear whenever you see him. It's like tearing a Band Aid off, almost. Try to relax yourself by thinking what's the worst that could happen? And feel prepared for it. The most likely scenario though is he will remember you and have a nice conversation with you.

I think yea why not, it has been quite a long time, the both of you have grown, if will definitely clarify things about the 2 of you.Besides if you dont call him and he doesnt call you, u will be always tormented by the thought of "what if's" so yea i think much better to call and set a meeting

I think you should talk to him first. It would be great for you and him.

It's always better to regret doing something than to regret never doing something at all.Take the leap. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
