How would you reactif your family/friends forgot your b-day?
How would you react?
Today is my birthday and not ONE person remembered my birthday. I "reminded" my brother about my birthday last night and said congrats. That was about it.
I wont lie. I was a little bit hurt and I am a bit angry, but not wounded inside. I have made a decision recently not to expect ANYTHING from ANYONE, yes even my family. It is not easy but I have progressed a lot. I dont give a f*ck deep inside if anyone give me something out of kindness. I will fake smile and thank them. I will never take anything personally, bad or good. I dont care anymore.
That doesnt mean that I will not be a nice and kind person, I will.
I wouldn't feel happy but I don't have the right to be sad because I always forget about everyone else birthday as well, I'm not good with those things
I'm so hurt when my b'day is forgotten, mostly because I myself make surprise celebrations, buy presents and make my friends/family happy on their birthdays. So I expect the return. People remember my birthday and say happy birthday but I never received a present or a party was organized for me.
As for me, they've been forgetting my birthday for 11 years now and this upcoming will be forgotten as well. I just treat myself and go on about my day.
that sounds awful but like someone above me said maybe they're planning something and don't want to give it away! My dad never remembers my birthday but he hates birthdays (even his own) so I don't take it too personally, or I try not to at least .
