Birthday blues.

[Sage Rainsong]

I know that it's a little stupid but I am a little down. Very few people remembered my birthday. Out of all of my friends from college, 1 remembered (even though I remember theirs but that's a whole other thread.)and none of my relatives called me either. My mother and sisters barely remembered. I dorn't need a big party or anything, I just wanted people to remember. Anyway thanks for "listening."

I can sympathize. After I moved over here from Oregon, my sister came to visit for our birthdays (she's the 22nd of Feb., I'm the 23rd). It was awesome to have her here, but here's the deal: By the end of the evening on my birthday, I hadn't recieved any sort of "happy birthday" from anyone back home, including my mom, with the exception of my grandmother, who (bless her heart) remembers everything special. lol Needless to say, I was pretty hurt that all of a sudden, because I've moved to another country, everyone forgot what day it was. Christmas was the same way. I talked to my fam online, but as for cards or anything, got one from my grandmother and one from a friend back home. My family isn't the sort to ignore important dates. They're wonderful, good-hearted people. At the last minute, my sister got a hold of my mom and told her how pissed I was that everyone had forgotten my birthday, and all of a sudden it was "Happy birthday!! I didn't forget you!!" e.t.c.. But it has been the case, since I've lived here. People just don't make the effort now that I'm not in the picture. So I guess I can understand to some extent where you're coming from.

You kind of want people to at least recognise that it's an important date, at least to commemorate the birth of a dear friend or relative. It's a lonely feeling when people forget. Anyway, I'm sorry that happened to you. It can be a major bummer. I hope your next birthday's much better! :hugz:

Aw, :hugz: to you. I've gotten used to celebrating my own birthday. I buy myself presents (I always get what I want, too! :idea: ) bake myself a cake, walk around singing "happy birthday to me" all day... etc.
You just have to go a bit insane, that's all ;)

That's happened to me too. Sorry about people being insensitive - don't get down, it's still your birthday, and that means it's your day, and so you get to do whatever you want to! :blowcandl

Happy Birthday! :boquet:

That's why I love having a bf :bigblue: because they have to remember right? :foh:
Many people don't remember my birthday either.:hahugh:

I sympathise. I didn't get a single card on my recent birthday - not even from the son&g/f who are crashing downstairs at the moment. Younger son turned up with a card and present a few days later, but since he could have posted the card at least that was not only a 'first' in our lives but kind of a deliberate snub.

Never mind. In the great scheme of things it doesn't really matter. The love and friendship others feel and maybe even show the rest of the year means more than a card only on that one day each year.

Boy, do I know just how it feels! I only celebrated by birthday few times. And to make the matter worse, the whole country celebrates it- I was born on New Year's Eve... I always felt, that there is something strange, I never felt it was my birthday, until later my mom told me, that I was supposed to be born in March. Try to concentrate on things that really important and make you happy. Any way- Happy Birthday and many, many more!

I've had that happen more times than I like to remember. Do something special for yourself to celebrate. I hope next year they remember how important this is to you.
