Not posting on AIBU because I suspect I am.
I have a group of friends who I meet at least once a week for years for a group hobby. Anytime it's someone's birthday we have lunch to mark that. However it's never been done for my birthday. I have been asked more than once so it's been written down. Two of the group I see outside of the group and they also know when my birthday is.
I'm not upset and enjoy every birthday meet up for what it is. It's always enjoyable and I love their company.
The thing niggling me is I think it's dawning on me that I'm possibly a bit more invisible than I had thought. I think of them as friends but maybe we are more aqauntancies. Which is fine but it's always someone other than the birthday person saying "it's x birthday next month so let's sort a date for lunch". But dispite asking me this year when my birthday was I didn't even get told happy birthday from anyone.
I'm not sad or angry. I don't know, just feels a bit like I'm not noticed or worse maybe not liked and I'm missing a very big hint.
