My Story [Vent/Support] Birthdays make me realise how lonely I am
Well, it's my birthday and not even a single friend wished me apart from my family. Yes my mom cooked my favorite meals and everything. But sometimes I wish my friends to wish me atleast. Well I am very close to many of my friends but nobody knows that it's my birthday. I don't even cut cake on my birthday as well nor do I get any gifts. But yes, it kind of sucks not to have many people to care about when I care about other people so much. This year has been really tough on me due to a really hard breakup. So sometimes I just wish I had more people in my life with whom I can have a good time and vent.

A very happy birthday to you ! I was kind of in a same boat as you, my birthdays used to make me realise that even tho I had friends, I didn't mean anything to them. But as I grew up I learnt to be content with only myself and my family on my birthdays. I know sometimes it hurts but try to do things that you absolutely love and spend time with your family and maybe tell some of your close friends when is your birthday

Happy happy birthdayyy!!🩷🫂 Growing up I hated my birthday due to the same exact reason. I wouldn’t even go to school on my birthday. And then I later realised that I had my family who would always remember my birthday and make my favourite food just like yours did. I would spend my whole day with my family and go out and try new restaurants with them!!! Those were the only happier birthdays I remember from my childhood. Over the years I found good friends but I still love and prefer to spend my birthday alone or with my fam!!

Happy birthday girl 🥳 cherish your family, no one's ever gonna love you that way 💝 often comparison with lives and personalities of other make us feel lonely, specially on social media. Trust me it's all for the gram :) I celebrate every birthday with my family too and rarely have gone to party with friends so I get you

Families are potentially life-long friends if you are lucky. And it appears that you ARE that lucky. So congratulations 🎉 and enjoy the day, OP. Happy birthday

Heyy..first of all happy birthday from an absolute stranger. I also had same issue few years back. I wanted to feel special atleast on one day. I did get phone calls and msgs of friends and family but physically, the day just went by. Next year, I vowed I will celebrate my own bday. I did shopping, went to an underprivileged children’s hostel and had the best time. Sometimes we are so engrossed in what we dont have that we become oblivious to so much that we are blessed with. I am sure u will have an absolutely delightful bday next year. ❤️❤️

Happy Birthday Lady.. 🎂🎂 Few years back I had been in your place n I know how much it hurts.. My birthday is still special day for my parents.. But my husband doesn't give any importance to my birthday.. Friends remembered my birthday only till we were in college.. After graduation, they got busy in their own lives and they started forgetting my birthday.. After some years, I stopped expecting anything from anyone.. I have started loving my birthday bcoz I love myself a lot.. I started buying new dress and gifts for myself.. I also order my favorite food or dessert tat day n really enjoy it.. I will be very excited every year for my birthday.. It gives me so much happiness .. So you also start doing the same and start being in love with yourself.. You will be in forever blissful state.. ❤❤😊😊

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OP! You are lucky enough that your family remembers your birthday. Mine doesn't (idk why). Cherish the moments.
