only one of my irl friends has wished me a happy birthday today. these are very close friends that i've known for years and are very aware my birthday is on the 23rd. yet i've only received one message. it feels silly to feel upset over such a small thing but when a friend tells another to enjoy their birthday thats on the 31st, yet forgets mine was today just hurts like a bitch. just drinking some wine and smoking to have all of it impact me less. ik it's something reasonable to feel a bit upset over but i feel as though im overreacting. im pissed i care so much about them yet they clearly cant even remember my own birthday.

I know it's not much from a stranger, but happy birthday. I hope you at least treat yourself. Definitely deserve it.

Happy birthday! I really hopr you find better friends soon, and if you ever need someone to talk to feel free to hop in my messages. I can't imagine how hard it is to feel forgotten by your friends but you have a community ready to support you regardless. I hope that next year's birthday involves more celebration and much less sadness for you <3

Yeah, it's bad when friends forget your birthday. Really shouldn't happen. I know it does, though, all the time. FWIW, Happy Birthday to you.

Hi sweet @serah

Your pain is so understandable.. I'm really sorry

We love and sacrifice our lives for our loved ones and very often in return we don't get the attention we gave to people when it was their turn

Many people, like you, take their friendships, their families, very seriously...

I understand your pain, your injustice, your emptiness or your loneliness...

But for once it's your turn to receive this attention

So, happy birthday šŸ˜Šā¤ā¤

Love ā¤

A penpal of mine told me the other day that none of her friends told her happy birthday at all and she was pretty upset over it. I don't think you're overreacting at all for feeling legitimately hurt. I would feel the same way in this situation. Happy bday by the way from this internet stranger <3

Happy birthday! I do know what you mean- if that helps... Ironically, I wouldn't even say I like or care about my birthday but it can weirdly still hurt if nearly everyone forgets it- most especially if you make the effort to remember theirs. I guess it's loneliness maybe.

Anyway- Happy Birthday! from your totally anonymous suicidal sympathisers. I know it's not the same but hopefully it helps a little.

People can certainly be disappointing after all, and it's just the way that they are unfortunately. It's best to not expect much out of others as having high expectations will just lead to more suffering when you get inevitably let down by other people. But it's understandable as to why you would be frustrated at the way that those people acted, it's sad how other people can potentially just make us feel worse with what they do.
