Would you get mad at your friends if they forgot your birthday

As you get older, no one cares or remember it’s your birthday…not even you. It’s just another day.

The only exception is maybe when you reach like 90 or 100 when people celebrate you having lived so long.

I don’t even share my birthday or want it recognized. Recognize me because you organically want to, not because someone emailed you an E-card to sign.

Still has to be intent behind the action

Unless we had something specific planned like a party or a dinner that they flaked on, I wouldn’t care or notice. We all have so much going on in our lives, it’s hard to keep track of other people’s birthdays.

My actual friends yes I would be.
If they forgot completely yes.

Nah, I'd only be pissed if they forgot we had plans for my birthday. If we didn't then 🤷‍♂️

Only if we had plans. But some people do make a big deal of their bday and expect the world to do the same. Luckily none of those people are my friends but I do know of some people who will have a fit if they are not acknowledged on bday. If you are or have friends like that then it’s best to set the expectation early but also realize bdays don’t hold the same weight for everyone.

Every person I know appreciates the birthday recognition! Not a big hoopla but just an acknowledgment, even a text. A small gift is nice too but that’s what I like to do. Wouldn’t expect everyone to do that.

We’re all busy, give us a break. I am barely aware of the date on any given day so even if I know someone’s birthday, I need to be aware of the date on that day.

I love birthdays and always reach out and vice versa! I did remind someone that it was my birthday this year. Next year, I’ll tell them happy birthday but no gift. 😐

No, I wouldn’t

Not at all

I absolutely adore celebrating my birthday, however, that's me. I don't expect anything from my friends and don't get mad or upset if I don't get recognition.

You should tho

No

No I know they did not mean it. They might have other things in there mind at the moment. That cause them ti forget my birthday

No

Idk if mad is the right word but a bit peeved if I've told them before, yes. If you add someone's bday to your contact for them your phone will literally suggest to tell them happy bday....it ain't hard

Lol nobodies birthday is important enough to save on my phone

AITK (Am I The Karen):

New neighbors moved in the past weekend so there was plenty of loud noise & banging, but I didn’t care about the noise. Today, it was louder than the weekend & one of their friends kid was running around screaming as I was trying to work, but I let it go. It’s 9pm & the kid is still sprinting all over & the banging is non-stop. I have young kids & make a point for them to not disturb my neighbors when they’re here. Am I being unreasonable to want quiet at 9pm on a Monday?

The person I’m seeing has been responding to my texts days later (only a recent development) and it’s making me anxious. They have been busy the past two weeks with PhD exams and their last message was them planning when they could see me again (in a really flirty way too), so logically I know the delay is not a sign of disinterest. But I have an anxious attachment style (if that’s not obvious) and my therapist is on leave right now, so I’m struggling. Do any of you have any advice?

I have a pretty passionate hate for those who have “no fault” divorces. These people can’t keep one single promise in their life even when they have the choice of anyone on an entire planet and are not forced one bit into a decision.

Sometimes I wish when you were with a partner, there was a very clear sign that the person doesn’t love you so that you know it’s time to walk away. My partner and I keep having the same problems, and when I express he’s making me feel a certain way he says he didn’t mean it like that obviously. But when i say something and explain that it’s not how I meant it he doesn’t care and proceeds to label me as an unkind person who doesn’t support/love him unconditionally. *continued in comments*
