I’m not typically one to wallow, but may I please be pitiful here anonymously?
Outside of my husband, children, and mother, not a soul remembered yesterday was my birthday. Not a single one of my friends whose birthdays I remembered and celebrated this past year. No other family. Nobody. Not sure why it bothers me so much this year. I’m feeling so spiteful, like I’m just done caring about other people at this point. But I know I can’t be that person. Thanks for letting me vent selfishly! |

| Happy birthday, OP. The important people remembered, and that's what you need to focus on. |

Are you on Facebook? Is your birthday viewable to friends?
Other than that, I don't remember anyone's birthdays except close family. Happy birthday! Do something fun! But have forgiveness for your friends. OP, not everyone cares about birthdays. It's kind of you to remember others, but it is not their love language. Birthdays, in general, are really not a big deal to a lot of people. |

| I get it OP. I have a friend group that goes cookoo for birthdays. Big lunch gatherings, presents, the whole nine yards. I have participated in so many of these, and have yet to have one on my behalf - mainly because my birthday falls on a holiday weekend usually. So I just continue along celebrating others and feel a little blue every now and then to be brutally honest.... |

You and OP should get together in real life and buy each other cupcakes or donuts or something, to celebrate. |

| Happy birthday! 🥳 Do something nice for yourself, OP. Don't focus on things that bring you down. |

ANNNNDDDD it's my birthday too! Happy Birthday OP and PP. Us cancers are a little crabby/sensitive. It sounds like the most important people celebrated with you. I am always shocked when people remember mine, I'm terrible with remembering others and that's why I am thankful for Facebook for reminding me!
I hope you had some yummy food and bought yourself something nice today!!

| Happy Birthday! The really important people remembered that's what matters. Some people have no family so keep in it perspective. |

| The squeaky wheels get their birthday celebrated. If you want to be celebrated, squeak more. |
