Why didn’t anyone remember my birthday this year?

Author

my birthday was yesterday. they didn’t reach out nor did their siblings or parents.

I didn’t get any cake nor any present from anyone. I turned 40 and literally no one cared.

I don’t know what I did to deserve this.

Ive found as i have gotten older no body really makes an effort for birthdays. its sad. I always try and make people feel real good for their birthday.

that’s the thing I did for their birthday I had a gift I sent the happy birthday. I got less than nothing in return.

i spent one birthday staring at my phone, hoping my ex or their family would remember. every hour that passed felt heavier. i still remember how invisible i felt.

has your birthday always felt lonely, or did this one hit harder because you hoped they'd reach out?

happy birthday!! my birthday was also this month and she did break no contact to congratulate me but tbh it did nothing but make me feel more weird/sad.

you did nothing to deserve this, but I'm proud of you're still keeping no contact you're stronger than me!

thank you. I know they weren’t don’t worry it just seems very unfair for me to be so sad.

omg that's is the saddest thing, not being wished happy birthday by ex is terrible especially when no contact is that low, but by anyone that is terrible :( happy 40th it's a big step 💞
