Birthday blues

Do you think it's rude when it's your birthday ( one day of the year just for "you" ) and so called friends can't even acknowledge you ? Scrolling through my Facebook & seeing who could actually be bothered to take a few mins to wish me a happy bday today is an eye opener. ( put it this way I have so many other people on there that I thought were friends )
What pisses me off is when it's their birthdays I wish them a HB ?
Am I being childish lol ? Or do other people find this rude?
I guess the old saying ' it's my birthday and I can cry if I want too
Lol

If your friends are friends, they'll remember it and go out of their way to at least say it.
My birthday is Boxing Day, so I know the forgotten feeling all to well. Over shadowed by Christmas as all.

I feel you! Poor darlin!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I HOPE YOU HAVE/HAD A WONDERFUL DAY XXX

Thanks love:)
FB birthday notifications comes up not to mention I've added bday photos of my day & still certain so called friends haven't said anything. You know who won't be getting bday posts from me this year haha.,

You're so welcome!

Yeah stuff them I say.
My mum posted on my wall instead of a text/phone call. I was pissed.
I know, at least she said it, but it was so impersonal.

Yeah. These days you don't even have to go to the wall. You can do it when you're notified! Buggers they are xx

I usually go to a lot of trouble to wish everyone a happy birthday, but if I don't happen to be on Facebook that day then it won't happen, it usually means there is some really big disaster happening!
Close people like my sisters, mum and dad would usually get a phone call, but there are years I've missed it, not because I haven't thought of them but because big shit had gone down with my child and I just can't get to it until a few days later. I'm talking near death shit.
Most of my friends on Facebook are juggling A LOT of balls. Way more than most people so I wouldn't hold it against them if they missed me a year or two. So I know they'll forgive me my slip ups.

I suppose it depends on what sort of people they are too. Are they the sort that give a toss about anyone's birthday? Some people just don't seem to do birthdays, do they have shit going down that might cause them to slip up this year? Otherwise you've got a right to be pissed!

I'm a shocker for remembering birthdays, absolute fucking shocker. I remember my best friends, other friends I kinda know the month but if I don't get a reminder of some sort I'll not post in case it's the wrong day! I don't call, hate phones. I have one for work and it's the bane of my life, I'd rather post or message a birthday wish.

Happy Borthday for last week! Xx

I definitely feel you!
None of my "friends" could even be bothered coming to see me for drinks when I had an invite out 2 months in advance

Literally for a quiet few drinks at home

And on the day of my birthday EVERYONE was either sick/working so I literally spent the day just me and my daughter with the odd few messages from my parents/grandparents and aunties etc

My best friend of 15 years fails to wish me happy birthday ON my birthday every year! Its actually become a bit of a joke. She then calls me a day or two late begging me for forgivness haha! The thing is, we are both super busy and even though we love each other to death, life sometimes sneaks in the way. Or we are just shit friends hahahhaa!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! XXX

I never wish people Happy Birthday on FB, if they're my good friend and I know when their birthday is I'll send them a txt message, or pick up the phone and chat. I don't see he point to wishing people happy birthday on fb when without it I wouldn't even know it's their birthday ...
