Talk to them. I know it would be hard and scary, but talk to them. Sometimes people put ideas into our heads just for the lulz because we are the "evil, mean, popular" people. It'd be funny to make us suffer for all the pain and torture we've put people through.

That and we are all just a little self-centered. We are creative people. It happens. Sometimes we forget to remember other people even when we think of them extremely fondly. Friendly smacks to the back of the head are good for the soul.
