So about 15 of us on a what's app group
One of us had a birthday party inviting all on what's app group weeks b4 our actual birthday which I attended (not all attended)
On the day of actual birthday, I sent a msg on our group chat wising her happy birthday
No reply from her or anyone else.
AIBU to feel I will not like to speak/chat with them like I use to

Eh? Was it your birthday that was ignored?

No, but it thought it impolite for the person in question not to reply acknowledging the greeting and also for the others to just ignore the msg

Your username is how I feel about this thread.

😂 same

Was your message as beautifully written as your OP?

I think you are over thinking it, life is busy and not everyone has the time to reply to WhatsApp messages. I wouldn’t say I’m overly popular but today between three WhatsApp groups I received 40 messages. I haven’t responded to most, and if it was one like yours I’m afraid I wouldn’t either. Try not to read into it.

How often is the group chat used? Why didn't you just wish your friend a happy birthday privately?

Don’t overthink shit like this OP. It’s so trivial.

For all you know the other participants could have wished the birthday girl/boy separately or in person, or sent a card.

It’s none of your business what others choose to message.

Relax op

This doesn't matter, honestly x

The only reason you message a group chat to say happy birthday is to remind the others of the birthday. Maybe they had already wished her a happy birthday privately.

Pardon?

It's rude the the birthday person didn't say thank you. It takes 2 seconds, no one is that busy. The rest of them don't need to reply, they probably said it on a private chat so it'd be weird to say it twice.

@Sillystripytail is exactly my thought. I consider it rude that she didn't reply 🤷🏽‍♀️

Christ, you must be bloody hard work if this is the sort of thing that offends you

Why would you expect anyone else in the group to reply to you wishing one of them a happy birthday?

Why would you not have messaged the birthday person directly?

Don't do things if the only reason that you are doing them is to receive validation that you are a "good/nice" person. That totally defeats the object and makes it about you instead of the person whose birthday it was.
If you honestly just wanted to wish this person a happy birthday for their benefit, you wouldn't have done it in a public group and then got upset when noone replied.

Was this group created to organise the party?
In which case, no-one is going to spam 14 people replying to your message only meant for 1. And it’s easy for that 1 to miss a message, especially in an old group.

If it’s not a one off group, has other conversation continued and your birthday wishes just got buried in there?
