[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PS:

For the birthdays, you have to be a big girl and make your own celebrations. I threw my own parties (yep, more than one). I held small gatherings due to Covid. They were so much fun! My sister wasn’t invited to any of them. She’s an attention-seeking energy vampire.

Love your life. Be happy.[b] Phase out your sister or go low contact.[/b]

My sister, when I celebrated my birthday with my parents and sister’s family, brought her new puppy to my gathering and then said she hoped I didn’t mind. Another time, she brought decorations for her daughter’s graduation to make my party also a graduation party for her daughter. She just showed up with a graduation cake, napkins, etc. She learned this from my mother, who arranged a baby shower for me that was all desserts when I wasn’t able to eat sugar for medical reasons. I ignored all this behavior, yet I have not forgotten.

For all you know, your sister is reminding people about her birthday with passive aggressive comments. Maybe that’s how so many remember. You probably aren’t dropping annoying hints like, “I’m sooooo excited about my birthday tomorrow!”  She might be dropping hints left and right.

The social media likes are not as big a deal as you think. A person can get into engagement pods and get likes easily enough. I get a lot of likes on most FB posts only bc I know how to write a post that interests my connections. It’s about them and not me. This can also be learned. I’m not special due to this and neither is your sister.

Why would she do the bolded? She would encounter many people like this. Will she fade them all out? [/quote]

If she wants to, yes. There's nothing wrong with reducing contact, especially since the sister couldn't remember the other sister's birthday. [/quote]
