It’s my birthday and I haven’t really heard from anyone
Only like 5 people have said happy birthday to me and one of them I don’t even know. It’s now 6pm, haven’t heard from Mum or brother or any other family apart from 1 Aunty. Feeling a bit shit
I think it’s okay to tell people and remind people your birthday is coming up! Especially now when the media hypes about every. Thing they can to STRESS people out and grab their attention!!! Plus there are emails, health issues, finances, that are straining peoples thoughts. Have you ever forgotten someone’s birthday? Did you like them any less? Please don’t punish yourself by not saying anything!! MOST people people go around planning or pre announcing their birthday, you should do the same!!!!
🎉Happy Birthday, I'm sorry you felt a bit forgotten.🎉 🎂 Shame there weren't more of us closer to you who could have made it a special day.
I've found that the longer I've been out of regular contact with close Aunts/Uncles, etc, the less the occasions are remembered. Perhaps it's the same in your case? How are your relationships with them?
Brothers/Sisters can be notorious for it also--depending on personality, how preoccupied they are with own lives, or how close you are.
Today is your day. Wishing you a day, week, month, and year of endless possibilities and infinite happiness. Here's to all the moments yet to come. Happy Birthday! :)
My dear, speaking as someone whose birthday has been forgotten or neglected many times, I can tell you that the WORST thing you can do is sit at home waiting for the phone to ring.
You must swallow your pride and call your mother, at least. She has probably been off doing something all day and got too busy.
@swirlie This is her birthday. Don't make it worse for her. I don't care about your trolling. It doesn't affect me. Yet I was attempting to be nice to her!
@swirlie It is strong of her to share her feelings. She doesn't need criticizing when she is sad. It is normal to feel sad when your own mom forgets your birthday. What is not normal is having no empathy, that's a personality defect of yours.
