My "best friend" forgot my birthday?
My 14th birthday was a few days ago, and my supposed best friend forgot it. The day after, she found out from someone else that it was my bday the day before, and started apologizing. We switched schools in 7th grade, since our old school was just elementary, and went to a huge school. My friend who forgot my birthday made dozens of new friends, and I made enough, but I don't like to be crowded with a bunch of people around me all the time. She totally forgot about me and hasn't paid any attention to me since April. She spent all summer with her new friends, and don't get me wrong, it's great that she has all these new friends. But I would like to hang out with her too. I have always texted her first, invited her places, and all that jazz, and so this summer, I quit putting forth all the effort. I decided I would let her come to me, since I always started everything. Guess what? She hasn't done anything special with me, texted me, or anything. She was busy with her other friends. Then to top it all off, she forgets my bday, THEN posts a pic on IG wishing one of her other friends happy birthday (this was even after she remembered mine). I think I was born with "Third Wheel" tattooed on my forehead. I've been left out since day 1. I'm tired of it. I just wanted to know y'all's opinion and to hear what y'all have to say. Thanks for reading my novel. Have a blessed day/night.

My best friends forgot my birthday?
Today is my eighteenth birthday and I received greetings from family and from my classmates but not from my four close friends whom I've known for 4-7 years. If it was any other birthday, my sixteenth for example, I would not be as irritated and upset as I am but because it is my eighteenth and the one I've been looking forward to for weeks. If one of them forgot I would not have minded, but it's the fact that they ALL forgot which upsets me the most. What makes it even worse is that, even if they did forget (even though one really has no excuse as her birthday's the day before mine), is that they could very easily have seen that my birthday was today on Facebook which they were all on sharing photos and whatever without acknowledging me at all! Is it selfish of me to be so upset by this? Especially as they've never forgotten any of my other birthdays, nor I theirs, in the time they've known me? Also, how should I react towards them when I see them on Monday at school? My family is telling me to get over it, but I cannot believe how pissed off I feel and I know it will come out on Monday one way or the other. Should I tell them how pissed I am with them and just wait to get over it and forgive them in my own time or should I just forgive them even though I am so angry with them to the point that I won't forgive them? I am highly stubborn and hold grudges with impressive endurance.
Friends forgot my birthday?
Happy Birthday! I had this happen before where one of my good friends forgot my birthday and it really hurt my feelings for a while. I had people come up to me and tell me happy birthday in front of her and she never said a word. But then I decided that she just might have realized it. Did your friends know it was your birthday? How about throwing a party for this weekend or next? Do something fun!
My best friend forgot my birthday...again?
One of my very close friends, for many years, always forgets my birthday. Like doesn't even get the month or the general time period. I actually don't care for birthdays and all but it does hurt a bit as this is the 3rd year in a row. Thats just something close friends and family remember. If it was a one time thing I'd probably be upset still but of gotten over it, its just that she always does this. She remembers others birthdays, and I'm sure shes probably forgotten others as well and I'm not the only one. Is it ridiculous for me to be so upset over it? It was a few days ago actually and no realization, I don't want to be rude and tell her my birthday was a few days ago, but it still bothers me! Do I tell her, get over it, forgive and forget? I have no problem with forgiving, I mean people can be forgetful I just still feel hurt thats all.
What do I do if my friends forget about my birthday?
There's nothing wrong with you picking a day, shooting your closets friends a text, and saying hey, let's meet at “X” at a specific time for a birthday drink/dinner or at your place. That way the pressure is off of them to decide where you want to go, and it may remind them, “oh crap, I totally forgot her birthday!” It does happen. Everybody gets so wrapped up in their own daily lives and routines, time can just sneak up. Some people are just terrible with time management and need reminders for everything. I don't know your friends, but it certainly sounds like this is very likely.
Friend forgot my birthday? Should I say anything?
My friend forgot my birthday which was 5 days ago. We are fairly close so I'm sure they just forgot. I don't want to be rude about it but I think they would want to know. Would it be okay to mention it? I wouldn't be like "you forgot my birthday", I'd just casually bring it up in conversation if it worked out, like "I did __ for my birthday" or "look what I got for my birthday". Or should I not? I'm a little dissappointed but I'm not mad, I know we all have our busy lives to deal with.
How did you feel when your best friend forgot your birthday?
Hurt!! Lots and lots of hurt. Not that I'm a big birthday fan, but I am used to my friend calling/texting me to wish me a happy birthday. No formalities, no gifts, just a wish to signify he cares enough to remember.But one year he forgot and I was hurt, for like 15 minutes or so. Then I focused on all the joys he brings to my life and how he has been there for me every single day since we've know each other. This was 12 years ago and we've been friends for 19 years now. So don't care if he remembers my birthday or not. I just want him to continue being my friend even though he deserves a better best friend.
How should I react if my friends forgot my birthday? It’s been 3 days since my birthday, but no one still wished me yet.
Wow. I don’t know how old you are, but don’t be in a blue funk about this. There are lots of things going on in everyone’s lives and if there was no one or nothing to remind them, they missed it.If you mention it to your friends, you’ll get belated birthday wishes, which aren’t going to make you feel better. I would say to forget about this and do something that you enjoy. If the subject comes up, let them know they missed a good time with you in your special day. Had they mentioned your birthday, you would have included them in your escapade. Don’t lie, actually do something that is fun.Work and school friends will wish you happy birthday because there is an internet notice or a section in their newspaper devoted to birthdays and anniversaries. Some churches might publish birthdays in their bulletins.Your birthday is important to you and your family. As you get older you’ll find that it become less important and at times, you’ll be too busy to celebrate. Don’t be angry or upset because people don’t recognize it.
