It’s my birthday and none of my friends can come out, all cancelled or made excuse. Is it weird im upset?

[Brunettexoxo]

“what’s the big deal about your birthday” they said but I don’t get it, I didn’t ask anyone for anything other than them to come some bars with me, since they like drinking anyway but some of them are out drinking this weekend and can’t come

it happpened before last year they where 3 hours late (diff friends) and we missed the booking and the year before that my friend randomly abandoned me in a night club on my birthday…. Do I just have bad luck

Birthdays sadly can be hard when things don’t pan out the way you hoped it would. But the truth is the only person that really cares about their birthday is themselves. We basically set our expectations higher than the reality of it all. I’m sorry to hear your friends bailed on you , that is a shitty feeling. But understand that doesn’t mean they don’t care about you or that they don’t like you, people just get wrapped up in their own lives and easily overlook things that are not that important to them. I know it’s a shitty feeling but the best thing you can do? Is just celebrate your birthday the way you want to celebrate it , Make it all about yourself and don’t depend on anyone to do that for you. The friends or family that do make a big deal about it? are your true friends and family that care about you and love you , and you should do the same to them , when it’s their birthday , the ones that didn’t give a shit? Don’t give a shit about their birthday when it comes. Through the years I had good birthdays and not so good birthdays , because they didn’t pan out like I thought they would , so instead of being upset and down on my birthday? celebrated it the best way that I could and focused on myself, not expecting anyone to make my birthday better. If friends or family show up and surprise me , that’s awesome of them and I know I will do the same for them when it’s their birthday , the people that didn’t celebrate my birthday with me? I know not to make a big deal about theirs.

I learned young not to count on people so I don't really care if fake friends do or don't do something. Your friends are fake. Just dump them all, is my advice. But some people need friends so they can't go without. If you stop wasting time on them you may have the time to find new friends tho. Also don't ask people to do stuff for your birthday. If they care enough they will remember your birthday. But also don't expect people to do that when they've only known you for 2 years and they never invite you to anything important.

in that case, i'd just get new/better friends! anyone in your life that doesn't value your birthday, the day you were born, a day to celebrate you, should not continue to be someone you associate with

happy birthday by the way!

I would say you just don't have ANY REAL friends!
This reminds me of my 16th. It was a big deal, for me, and I invited all the guys I usually hang out with to come over for the party and not a single one of them could bother!! Most of them only lived across the street or next door!! The ONLY person to show was the older sister of two of the guys I invited and she was only there because my sister asked her over!! I was so upset, I ran into the dining room, hid under the table and cried!!
Those assholes know where I live when they wanna come over for a swim!!
Anyway, Happy b-day!! (Psychic hugs & kisses!!)
Mine's in 2 weeks.

These are not good friends. Anytime you center your life around alcohol and bars, nothing good will come of it.

Good friends would have offered to take you to dinner or lunch or otherwise celebrate you. Fuck these people.

[TheSpaceGnome]

If you want genuine friends, give up alcohol.
Nice people don't go to bars.

[DarkLegacy]

None of them really like you, that is the truth

[dean53AU]

Sorry to hear that.
Hope you have a happy birthday without them x

[Maxnanet]
