[quote=Anonymous]OP, you use this information going forward. Do not change your behavior, or your willingness to be friends. Keep going with the friendship. Don't assume you-being-hurt is paramount. Don't compound it by making a rash decision and pivoting against this friend. Again, give it time. In six months from now you can think about it again - whether there is more disconnect, but now, how about you don't, not for six months.

She may have thought you were being, for her taste, just a little too needy about your birthday. I certainly never, ever, think of any year as being "A Big Birthday". I just don't. Maybe, even if she didn't think clearly about this, maybe she was just acting like herself and to her birthdays are not something she wants to keep up with ... if you're going to be her friend, it's something to accept, and she may hope not to have friends where a litmus test of friendship is measured by their birthday. She may be hoping you'll be a suitable friend, but is not sure - if you react strongly.[/quote]
