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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 21st birthday. All my friends showed up at my house already drunk, so I had to be the designated driver. FML
Today, it was my birthday, and even the person who seemed excited about me finally turning 21 and can legally drink forgot. Guess who got drunk alone tonight? This guy. FML
Today, it's my 25th birthday and all of the friends who promised they could come had excuses why they couldn't make it. Now I'm at the bar, alone. 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, is my 21st birthday. My friends took me to a bar to celebrate, knowing I don't drink. I'm now in charge of driving my friends home after they've had an awesome night. 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's my 21st birthday. The only person who drank with me was my elementary school principal, who I happened to run into at a bar where we were the only two people there. FML
Today, it was my 21st birthday. My roommate insisted her friend join us. They both got belligerently drunk while I was pretty sober. We ended the night at 12am with her friend violently sobbing at the bar over her boyfriend, while I played Subway Surfers. Yay. FML
Today, all of my friends bailed from the birthday party I was throwing myself. This was also after they had encouraged me for months to have one, knowing I'd never had my birthday celebrated before. FML

Happy Birthday, I did the exact same on my 21st. Next year will be better, I'm sure!

Isn't it fun to be a grown up? No body cares anymore.

Happy birthday! I just had my bday party last night too and not only did none of my own friends show up, only my wife's friends came, but my aunt who is my nemesis at work and my least favorite person I know, and her son, ended up showing up, getting hammered, and essentially commandeering my party with their ridiculous stories and lies. Fun times, hbd to us!

My 21st I had to cancel my party as no one had clicked attending/asked about it etc (there were also 2 other people with the same birthday in my university, so chances were, no one was going to come anyway). That sucked, but luckily my house mates took me for a meal eventually (after a sad lonely cry-fest, of course). My 22nd, I literally spent alone crying on the beach and then crying on my bed until my insides hurt. I completely understand how logically it's a stupid thing and it's just a day etc., but realistically, it still sucks and all I can say is happy birthday and don't feel bad for feeling sad. For both of our sakes, I'm going to believe that it WILL get better.

I know the pain, at least you didn't get kicked out of your own birthday party... Didn't know that was possible, but it is

In scenarios like this, I don't know if the person deserved it or not. Maybe the OP was a total asshole, so their friends had good reason not to go, or maybe they were a genuinely nice person, and the friends were total douchebags.
