plan for a repeat of last year. I finally stopped trying to do anything for my birthday because there was always an excuse.

i feel you. i asked some of my "friends" if they wanted to hang out with me on my birthday but everyone was busy going to a party without me

Unless you’ve planned something strange or expensive (and even then, they shouldn’t have indicated they were keen), your friends are being unreliable and lame.

Facebook has cheapened the meaning of the words “friend” and “like.” Real friends who really like you would certainly come to your birthday party. You may want to get off the Orwellian-named “social media.” Winston Smith knows it’s asocial!

Have you ever considered that they are NOT your friends?

How about instead of this lame birthday party, you plan the day of your dreams for your birthday, for you alone. Just take a bunch of selfies to document the whole thing and post them on your Facebook page. Have fun!

if you need to throw yourself a birthday party, you should probably go on a cruise instead

Time to join the "Forever Alone" WhatsApp group...

people suck

They’re not your friends bud. Sorry.
