Clout chasing

Samantha - - Singapore

Today, I turned 22. Instead of cutting my own cake, I stood by and smiled at a friend's belated birthday party. Her birthday was actually two months ago, but she decided to have her party on my birthday. No one remembered mine but everyone got her beautiful gifts. FML

Today, I celebrated my birthday with my friend who has the same birthday by going out to dinner with a bunch of our friends. The waiter brought out a cake for my friend but not for me. No one noticed my exclusion. I sang happy birthday on my birthday. FML

Today, I celebrated my 22nd birthday. On my cake stood last year's "21" candle, to which had been added a single candle. Clearly, times are tough. FML

Today, I had my 21st birthday party. My friends told me to have the party even though it had been 5 months since my actual 21st birthday. They asked me why I didn't have one originally and I jokingly told them it was because I didn't think anyone would come. Turned out nobody came after all. FML

Today, it was my birthday. Two of my best friends forgot it, and so did my grandparents. All of my friends were busy, so I spent it alone in my car. FML

Today, it was my 21st birthday and I invited a handful of my best friends over. They all stood me up and I drank alone in my apartment. Happy birthday to me. FML

Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends and family said they were busy so I figured I was getting a surprise party. Nope. They all were actually busy. I spent my birthday alone. FML

Today, it's my 22nd birthday. The only person who remembered was the dentist who sent me a postcard in the mail. I stopped going to him four years ago. FML

Happy ******* birthday

Today, I realized that I’ve gone out of my way every year to make everyone around me’s birthday extra special. I can’t remember the last time anyone celebrated or remembered mine. This year my “best friend” scheduled her elective surgery I’m supposed to take her to on my birthday. What a party. FML

Today, I showed up to my friend’s birthday party with a huge cake... on what turned out to be the wrong day. The actual party is tomorrow. Her family laughed and thought if was cute, but I just wanted the floor to open up and let me disappear. FML

STUPID BIRTHDAY - 05/03/2009 07:24 - United States

Today, it's my birthday and I'd arranged a dinner party for 20 of my closest friends. I arrived at the restaurant, fully dressed and everything. When I got there, I thought everyone was ready to surprise me, but instead, nobody showed up. FML

Tell her that you thought a belated b-day party was a great idea and that since she's so good at planning them, maybe hse could help you plan yours. That should be her cue to ask when your birthday was (or know when ti was). That's when you say, "On your party, I didn't say anything because I didn't want to be ungracious"

YDI if you were too busy feeling sorry for yourself to say anything. Seriously, people aren't going to remember.

I can't remember the last time my friends bought me a gift. Not because I don't have friends, it's because I don't make a big effing deal about my birthday. It's like, congratulations on living this long. I stopped having birthday parties when I was like 13 lol. That's about when I stopped caring too.

YOU DESERVE IT for being such a passive pushover. Are your friends mind readers??? Grow a backbone and speak up for yourself. It's so annoying when people are sissy pushovers then feel sorry for themselves - How about you DO something? Oh wait, no, you'll just complain anonymously on the internet instead.

That's why you should have said something. You're never going to get anything in life if you let others walk all over you.

FYL What you should do is throw a birthday party next week. Make it a big event and make sure everyone knows. That way you can pretend you weren't bothered about it, and still get some fun. Or you could find some new friends

WHo celebrates their birthday twice but not in the same week? ( I have 2 birthdays, but my parents are divorced.) But seriously, 2 months and on your exact day? What a bitch.
