Oh wow, I totally get this! I randomly stumbled across my childhood bestie’s profile a couple years ago—same vibe, all private—and I froze for like ten minutes just thinking, “Do I message her? Will it be awkward?” Ended up checking out this tool, https://viewverio.com/ , and it actually let me peek at some public info without the whole friend-request anxiety. Turns out she had two kids now! I messaged her anyway, and it was like no time had passed. Honestly, sometimes a tiny nudge like that can reconnect you without the pressure.
