Hard hat ready here as I know I’m being self centered.
I invited friends about two months ago on a night out to celebrate my birthday. Of the 6 people I invited, 3 suggested we “do another weekend” immediately. To which I said well no, my birthday is that weekend! Now at the last minute the others have pulled out, all suggesting we “just do a different weekend.”
I know this is fairly immature but if we did another weekend the night out would just be another night out, it’d be over a week past my birthday at the minimum so at that point I’d be completely over it and it defeats the purpose of the night out.
The fact that all 6 people have suggested to just move the date makes me think I am being crazy but I personally would never ask somebody to move their own fucking birthday ? If I couldn’t make it I’d politely decline. Am I being unreasonable or crazy about this?!

Oh the night out actually isn’t on my actual birthday anyway! The actual birthday is on a Monday. So I’ve already forfeited that and I do understand that ! But I’m not moving it AGAIN. Especially as people have bailed the first time. I think I am just feeling sorry for myself.

Take a look at what's happening in Gaza, we are all so lucky, you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself and see how fortunate you are!
