A lot of so-called friends didn’t acknowledge my big birthday

I’m just hurt I guess. It was a landmark birthday too

several lifelong “friends” I’ve know since school didn’t acknowledge it, as well as newer ones

When I say didn’t acknowledge I mean not even a text message

Not sure why I’m posting just feels a bit crap

Why would anyone comment or even know. Unless you are having a party, or announce it on FB?

Lifelong friends? I’d struggle NOT to remember, they are etched into my brain

It’s no reflection on you OP, and wouldn’t the world be a better place if more people were as thoughtful as you are! Mine is ignored/ forgotten by my oldest and best friends (including my 50th!) every year. I’ve just learnt to treat myself and make a pint of not cooking/ cleaning/ driving for everyone else just this one day a year (mine’s today). Happy birthday OP 🌺 💕

This thread is from 2022.
I suspect the OP is over it by now.
