I know I'm being pathetic but it's my birthday and I feel crappy

[ResistanceIsNecessary]

That's it really. Milestone birthday and had a couple of nice cards. Nothing from the majority of family. No acknowledgement from work (birthdays are a thing), nothing on Facebook.

I know I'm being pathetic and I know I need to give my head a wobble, but it feels really shit. I always remember other people's birthdays - I'll text or send a card or a Facebook message. I organise the collections at work for team members' birthdays.

Not bothered about presents or going anywhere, but it's made me vet to realise that hardly anyone else carea enough to even say anything. I'm sitting having a wee cry and I feel bloody mortified that it's affected me like this.

All firm instructions to pull myself together are welcome.

Happy birthday! People are twats sometimes they really are.

Happy birthday!
My birthday suggestions always seem to be shot down so I do my own thing now.

Can you plan a fabulous "well fuck you" outing?

Happy birthday

Stop remembering other people's birthdays.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday 🥂🥂🥂🥂

Happy birthday

Thank you. I can't tell you how daft I feel!

I keep getting over it and then getting upset all over again. I feel like I'm being very princessy and self indulgent by being upset, but it stings to not even get an acknowledgement when it's all you ask for. I got a lovely card from DH this morning though.

The Facebook thing has upset me quite considerably and God I can't tell you how embarrassed I am to admit that. Which makes me concerned about why I'm placing so much value on it.

Happy Birthday 🎂

Oh that's rubbish. No firm instructions. Instead I'm going to give you this:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RESISTANCE!!
Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!
Here's some and a bottle of your favourite and I've made you a . And have this . I'm terrible at wrapping, but I hope you like it. You deserve it, especially as you're so good at remembering everyone else's birthday.

You matter & your feelings matter.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday to you . Can you have a birthday celebration with your H at the weekend? Do something special? I think you should do something lovely and indulgent.

Thank you. The dog (asleep behind me) has just farted - so I've been given a gift of sorts

Currently doing some work, in the spirit of trying to get something done rather than dwelling. I do feel a bit Verruca Salt though and the temptation to post an epic WAAAAH post on Facebook is quite tempting. Maybe something very vague so that I can finally get a chance to say "I'll pm you hun"?!

Happy Birthday birthday twin I've had 2 people wishing me happy birthday today and I'm actually gutted it's not more. Will remember this come their birthdays that's for sure!

Happy birthday Chat!! Hope you have enjoyed your day anyway. The nerd in me wants to create a spreadsheet of people who will no longer feature on my "birthday honours" list. But I talked myself out of it on the basis that it's a bit batshit vindictive. I'd have fucking awesome formulae and pivot tables and everything though.

Happy birthday OP! I felt quite let down by several people on my last birthday so understand how you feel. Just a thought, is your birthday actually listed on your fb info as mine isn’t so people wouldn’t get that reminder notification fb likes to send...?

I know it's not the same OP and Chat but
Happy Birthday

Happy birthday OP!! i understand how you feel too. Just a text would be enough. Also came on to ask do you have your birthday date on your fb profile and can your friends definitely see it?

It is on fb. Funnily enough the people I'm most hurt by are my work colleagues - all of whom are on there as friends.

Hey ho. It's unimportant in the grand scheme of things I know.

I like your style!

Happy birthday I’m sorry your friends and family have been so rubbish.

Hey op. Happy birthday to you. I wish you happiness for the year to come.

I don't think you're being silly or pathetic. I would feel the same. So erase that feeling from your mind.

Happy Birthday to you, squashed tomatoes and stew! Lots of for you. I've been there too, no birthday messages from any of my friends on my last birthday, and it was my 30th too! I did have fish and chips though so what more could anyone want! People can be so thoughtless, it's crap. Hope you have a good evening!

Happy Birthday. Just put it down to being a rubbish time of year to remember such things ( and everyone’s broke and cold).
You’d get tons of post if it was in the spring I bet.
