So, Yesterday was my birthday but before that, two days to my birthday, i changed my facebook birthday date to another date. I really wanted to know if my close friends knew my date and won't be waiting for any facebook reminder.

The result i got though have really made me to ask myself if my 'close friends' are really my close friends. My 'best friend' that I've known for nine years now haven't called me up till today to wish me happy birthday or apologize for not remembering. I remember trying to call him on his birthday and his number wasn't going through, i had to call his girlfriend in order to reach him and his comment when I later got through to him that night was 'It's now you're calling me since morning'. Likewise my female 'bestie' that I've known for 6 years now,she hasn't called either. The list goes on. My dad, in his late 60s though, didn't remember my birthday as well. I had to tell my mum and siblings not to remind him so I'll see if he remembers. At 28,i believe I'm not a kid though to be wanting affection and birthday wishes from my old man but I just feel it's something a parent shouldn't forget. To crown it all, I got a girlfriend this past January and Yea, she forgot my birthday as well after most recently telling her last week Thursday. She called and texted today to apologize but I just told her to give me a week off without calls, texts or visits. Although she didn't agree and was still persistent but that's the verdict I have for her.

All in all though, I was and I'm still kinda disappointed with these 'Key' people in my life that I expected not to ever forget such an important day to me but they all did. But still, I don't think it should make me change my mindset towards them even though it hurts.

So guys, passing the speech stick to you, 'How would you feel if your loved one forgot your birthday?'

Lalasticlala i know your birthday can't be forgotten. That's the time of the year when snakes are mostly butchered for the festivities. Mynd44, how would you feel?

There are more important things to think of.


Have they paid their house rent?

Have they paid their rent?

My best friend doesn't live in a rented apartment. my female bestie stays with her parents. my dad is a landlord and my gf stays with her uncle. Hope I've clarified that rent aspect?

Mine was on saturday.

Almost everyone didn't remember. What did I do?

I moved on. People are busy with their lives and have big issues to think about.

You will have other birthdays and other things to celebrate.

Yes, it might hurt as you get the feeling that a lot of people don't care about you but they do. It is just that they are too busy to put every date in their heads. Call your best friend and tell him then try to move one.


Stay sane sir.

If u ask me, na who I go ask?

I dont feel bad .I forget peoples own too sometimes .
Man dey hustle, dey write code like werey, make we blow like Seun, me wey get the birthday sef I remember say I dey do birthday ?

Stay sane sir.

Yup. It didn't put me down that much anyway. It's gonna take something bigger than a forgotten birthday to bring me down but you know what they say, the best kinda love and friendship is when the people you love and care about shows that same love and care to you as well.
Thanks bro.

Nothing

Please what is so special about birthday? To me it is like every other day. I don't even remember mine talkless of others.

So?

dude do not take it personal..it does not show they do not care

It's just a day.
I won't give 2fcks...
But I understand and empathise with you, if you feel differently.

I might drag them for it sha, so they don't get too used to it.

See this one looking for external validation. Mtcheew

No biggie.

People are human, afterall.

It's nothing to me.. no be new thing again.. . When I go vex na when them no pay money wey them dey owe me

Marginalized

your age mates are dying and you are thinking of birthday that they didnt remember.

Hubby forgets my birthday all the time. The surprise is when he remembers.
To the question, I now take it as no big deal. After all, me sef dey forget my birthday.

I wouldn't feel too bad because sometimes I forget some of my loved ones own. So many things on the mind.

Last year , I purposely removed my birthday from my timeline and none of my friends or close family members remembered except for my mom and bro .....
Since then I decided not expect much from people cause they have their problems and issues to tackle , though it never stopped me from acknowledging theirs during their day ..
Besides it would save you a lot of costs and thank you's at the moment

Angry!

It actually means a lot...
I feel the op

It is a reminder of how worthless and unvalued the individual in question is.

guy move on jare,which kind nonsense be this wey you dey talk.

I am use to it so I will take it like the usual stuff.

I couldn't care less. I'll hold no grudge towards them. I feel there are more important issues to dwell on than birthdays

It's no big deal .....its my birthday not theirs

They have more important things to dwell on

. All this just to clarify a rent issue. Try and be a landlord urself too . As for me,I won't feel bad. It won't add or reduce anything to my life.

How much will they pay you if they remember?

Shuku shaker...

If she'll apologize with a credit alert, no issues mehn.

Money over wishes
