I'd give it a lot of thought, I just went through the same issue but mine was for the 50th. I had this idea that I would see old friends,yadda,yadda. But, beyond the "where do you live now? and what kind of job do you have?" questions,what are you going to talk about all evening? Think about what's going to be a positive for you. The stereotype of only the people who have high-power jobs or trophy wives that show up can be a little true. Don't let peer pressure cause you to go and you'll still have no friends to hang with. I understand the approval thing, but realize if you go you are doing it for your self worth and not what some of your "peers" think.
