So it was my birthday yesterday and I do not care an excessive amount of about what number of fb posts I get, I do know I am not that well-liked. I obtained fairly a couple of private messages which have been very nice after which a number of posts.
Principally from shut buddies and even some I am not that near however I used to be a bit upset/irritated that a couple of individuals did not even trouble.
I used to be sort of anticipating them to say glad birthday as a result of we’re fairly shut buddies and we want one another glad birthday yearly both on fb or non-public message. Usually I do not care an excessive amount of about birthdays however for that to not be reciprocated this 12 months was a little bit of a kick within the tooth. It takes like 2 minutes to say glad birthday? They are saying glad birthday to different individuals as nicely so it is not like they’re simply not into it.
I might see they have been lively on fb and snapchat the place it shows my birthday and mutual buddies have been posting on my wall so they might have seen it on their feed. All 5 of them are very lively on social media so it is not that they simply did not see. Even so, I would not have minded late birthday needs.
To present you an concept.
– 2 shut buddies from faculty who I have been buddies with for years. Meet up through the holidays each time we’re again from uni.
– 2 shut buddies in my predominant uni group of buddies
– 1 housemate who I’ve lived with for 3 years
Like I mentioned, I am not really that massive into birthdays however I simply discovered it barely disrespectful that they did not even trouble.
Now I do not fancy saying glad birthday subsequent time it is their birthday or liking all their instagrams like I normally do.
I do know it is not an enormous deal nevertheless it does barely **** me off. Ought to I simply transfer previous it and proceed being the great good friend I’m, or ought to I learn into it that they most likely simply do not care that a lot about me and I ought to cease placing in effort.
edit: Factor is they do not even want to recollect as a result of they might have seen it was my birthday on fb and snapchat. I would not thoughts in the event that they forgot, it was that they clearly noticed it and simply did not trouble.
