There's a former friend I'm almost certain would be the first type if I reached out, which honestly makes reaching out all the more terrifying because the rejection would hurt all the more.
Doesn't help that the one real attempt I've had at reconnecting with a friend was very much the 2nd type. We were very much the rawr xD type of kids, long story short we ended up going to different schools and lost touch, I went through tons of traumatic events and "mellowed out"(aka became horribly depressed). We reconnected online years later and he hadn't changed a bit, if anything he'd gotten worse. His idea of a stimulating conversation was one of us saying something like "1", the next saying "2", continuing ad nauseam.
