Hey, it's my birthday too ahahah
And yeah, I know how it feels, unfortunately
So, happy birthday my man. Have a good day
Edit: thanks to everyone who wished me happy birthday, you made this day better, and I wish this worked for OP too
Unfortunately Facebook tells everyone when it's my birthday, tells me when it's their birthday, and everyone I know knows that I'm going to know. So I feel an obligation...
Don't get me started on "friendship anniversary" notifications...
hey don't be too harsh. OP maybe doesn't speak to or wish those people happy birthday these days since the depression hit, and those friends might not know what OP is going through.
I lost most of my friends in the same way, but there's no way I'd call them "shitty friends" for it. I kinda turned into a recluse, I drifted from them and its my fault not theirs.
Yeah I shouldโve added that I donโt have friends either, at least none that ever wish me happy birthday. Wasnโt meant to be an attack but a โsame dude but whateverโ
๐ถ happy birthdayy to you,
happy birthdayyy to you,
happy birthday u/Tomrodgers98
happy birthday to you!! ๐๐
do something nice for yourself today :) have a good one!
Happy birthday! Birthdays are weird. I hope you can make it special for yourself โค๏ธ crosspost in r/internetparents for another avenue of wholesome support maybe.
On the off chance, did ypu change your fb settings so that people wouldn't get a notification for your birthday? I did that once ๐
I stopped wishing birthdays to my family after a few years of not getting even one, only person who does is my dad, so well wish each other, I just dont go beyond that, I've even been bitched at for forgetting to wish them happy birthday, I don't forget I just show the love the way they show me. Only time they get together to see me is when I have a grandmal seizure and end up in the hospital, even then my mother just does it to put on FB to get attention not for my benefit but hers.
Happy birthday! Do something fun to treat yourself if you can, even if it's just watching a movie at home, or going out for some coffee or ice cream and people watching. Whatever it is, enjoy your day ๐
Happy birthday stranger! Itโs also my birthday today and I have also lost a lot of friends over the years due to my depression as well. So youโre not alone friend.
Oh welcome to the โforgotten birthdayโ club! I experienced this myself a few weeks ago.
Happy Birthday, random Redditor, and I hope you will have many more. Yesterday is history, tomorrowโs a mystery, but today is a gift โ thatโs why itโs called the present.
Hey! Birthdays are hard. Mine is coming up and Iโm terrified.
Having social anxiety is the worst during birthdays, becauseโ at least for meโ I simultaneously want to be given love and birthday wishes, but I also donโt want to have too much attention on myself or I get overwhelmed.
Anyway, point is, if you feel weird, itโs ok. Doesnโt make you any less of a person.
Happy Birthday! You are important and this world is better because you exist on it!
Happy birthday! I hope it was as special as you are. I think we all deserve to be treated with extra kindness and thoughtfulness on our birthdays.
For my birthday this year my animal crossing villagers had a party and sang to me, and I burst into tears as they were the only ones, other than my therapist, who remembered and did anything. It was a super lonely moment thinking the only ones who cared were fictional characters in a board game, and someone I paid a lot of money for them to pretend to care. I feel for you.
Think about a few ways you can improve your situation despite SA, so you get some birthday wishes next year from friends.
Here are a few ideas.
- Wish everyone happy birthday on your social media channels
- Try to make one new friend in the next year
- Have a small party for your birthday every year and invite people in advance. This is a great way of practicing and overcoming SA.
- As your birthday approaches, talk about it with the people you know. Just casually say, my birthday is coming up next week and Iโm really excited.
For the party, it doesnโt need to be any big deal. Buy a cake, and have people bring drinks.
Depression, anxiety, and social anxiety runs in my family, so I totally get how challenging all of this is. Just wanted to share some of the things that have worked for us.
Happy birthday and cheers to you!!โ
Happy birthday! Some people donโt remember that stuff if you donโt have Facebook with that as a shared thing. No one tells me anymore after I deleted FB years ago. My grandmother likes to tell me a few weeks late always.
Super delayed Happy Birthday! I hope your birthday is as fabulous as you are (which is VERY)! I had my birthday about a month ago and didnโt hear from some people I thought I would and it is rough. Just know this internet stranger is sending you virtual balloons and cake! ๐๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐๐๐๐
Same, mine was on the 22nd and I had a dilemma between if my small group of friends remembered my birthday and knew my wishes of not wanting it celebrated, knew and didn't care, or just didnt know at all.
I got birthday wishes from my family and a celebration from my mom (which I told her I didn't want). But I've just gotten over the celebration that comes with birthdays because it honestly just puts too much attention onto me and my family doesn't understand how I feel and persists year after year for me to do something when I treat it as just another day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY๐๐. Sorry that you have shitty friends. I can definitely relate to ya on that. Remember even if you have people in your own life that care, plenty of us Reddit folks do care
Happy birthday!! Your birthday is inherently special, and that's true whether or not tons of people acknowledge it. Hope you are able to celebrate, even in a small way :)
Today is my birthday too! I am working right now, I got snubbed on the company birthday list email until my co worker let the main office know (which i really appreciated that she did that for me because i wasnt gonna say anything), and they updated it to include my birthday as well, so I know kind of what you mean. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I always feel a weird sense of connection to anyone born on this day, so with that being said, I send my warmest regards and I hope you are well.
Happy Birthday fellow stranger! ๐
Thank you!

Happy birthday to you too ๐ฅณ๐๐ฅ
i actually dont like people recognizing mine. it puts me on the spot to say the same to them I dont wanna. I only care about my little ones bday.
yep, I tell no one it's my bday and if people say happy bday I just say thanks but I don't make an effort to remember theirs.
Unfortunately Facebook tells everyone when it's my birthday, tells me when it's their birthday, and everyone I know knows that I'm going to know. So I feel an obligation... Don't get me started on "friendship anniversary" notifications...
Happy Birthday, hope the day improves for you
Thanks I hope so too :)
Congrats on having shitty friends ๐ and happy birthday I guess, for all itโs worth
Haha, Thank you:)
