It ever happen with you..?

For me, it does not really bother me. I do not expect too many people to remember my birthday. Obviously my family remembers, but I do not treat my birthday as a special occasion any more, I think that perhaps I have just got too old to worry about it. I guess some people can be different, and really hurt if people forget, which is understandable.

haha yeah, its so sad, but what i do to avoid it now, is that I comment on everyones wall on fb during their birthday and by the time my birthday comes around i get a ton of comments and text/calls throughout the day. Just a thought, you know karma, what goes around comes around, so make sure you let other people know you care, and they will care back.

what happens with me. according to me every person in the worlds has definitely faced with something which is really drastic which really teach them something. I have some example . suppose that on your date of birthday if no one during the whole day wishes you or greets you.

always and it won't bother me much.if they wish me i will appreciate it if the don't then it's okay and i will not start thinking that they care for me and love me no more.birthday is just a birthday.i thanked god for letting me alive for another year. honestly, i wonder why people celebrate their birthday but then can't face the fact tat they are getting older?

i was crying... i always expecting birthday wishes on 00:00... but there was one time, not even my family greet me... i hv to wait till the afternoon. but now, get used o it... no big deal... but i know...im wiser than yesterday...

For me it doesn't really matter anymore because in then end i must re-greet them in their own birthdays and believe me i won't remember them all it is implausible

Luckily it has never happened to me like that. I always have had 3 or more of my close friends call me late in the night to wish me a happy birthday. In fact sometimes my friends wish me faster than my family members and I like it because my friends always spring a surprise on me on that day. I enjoy celebrating my birthdays with my frends. bourne

For me, the question should be asked in the opposite stance. :) The truth is not many people really know my birthday and thus even fewer would remember and resulting in nobody simply greeting my birthday for the last couple of decades. At certain point of time, it does bother me especially when I see others are greeted and show happy faces. But as I grow older, I understand it is just life and has accepted the fact that I am just not the kind of guy people would spend that little effort to remember the day for.

It happened with me three years back wen i had returned from my early studies to my home town.Although i have friends at my home town they did not wished me but i was happy that my family members wished me.I dont mind if no one wishes me except my family members and my gf..

always and it won't bother me much.if the wish me i will appreciate it but if they dont i will not start thinking they are not care and love me anymore.birthday is just a birthday.i wonder why people celebrate their birthday but then can't face the fact that they are getting old?

i had it once on my birthday just last year. only my family and few of my very close friends have wished me on my very special day but guess what, i didn't feel bad even if a lot of my friends is missing my birthday. i understand them,maybe they are just so busy with their lives that they forget on somethings. this year i was able to celebrate my birthday with my family and most of my friends. and im so happy with it! they may forget it yesterday but today is what matters most, they were here on my birthday! happy mylotting =)

It used to bother me before but as I grew older, I know my friends and colleagues have grown older too. So, wink! naturally, they tend to become forgetful of dates and sometimes even worse...names too. lol! However, to ease my disappointment, what I do is stop and recall if I have likewise forgotten some of my friends birthdays somehow. If I find myself guilty- then I just shrug my shoulders and call my mother to tell her..."Aren't you gonna great me maa? Today is my birthday you know!" and she would say, "My dear one, how could I forget your birthday? I am your maa. Come near me so I could give you a hug as I greet you....

yes, it has happened to me,, last year,, no one wished me a happy birthday,, on my birthday,, I felt horrible and depressed,, then the following day my mom, and GRANDPARENTS EVEN MY CHILDREN WISHED ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY,, THE DAY AFTER,,

no fortunately not yet. that would make my birthday so sad if i wouldnt be able to celebrate it with someone especially family..but for those who have experienced it, there's only two things: either someone who wants to greet you are hesitating to approach or that you don't make others comfortable enough when you are around

I would be terrible disappointed if that happens.. but to prevent that from happening, I don't really expect too much from people to greet me on my birthday. I only select a few of my friends who I'm expecting a greeting even thru text or e-mail.. I would definitely appreciate how small their efforts of reaching out just to greet me as long as its coming from them. Other than my close friends, I don't expect too much from anyone really. But if I know someone who's celebrating a birthday, I'd greet him/her if I can because I wouldn't want them to feel the same way I did during my birthday when nobody greeted me on mine. Best of luck

Hey siliguri~ Yes, it has happened to many times. But, as you get older (and I am older!)that's what happens. People forget your birthday as time goes by and you just kind of get used to it. It still hurts, but what can you do? I am thankful that my mom, who is no 80 (God Bless)is still around to remember and that is what counts! A few of my friends remember, but only because I usually "remind" them! You get used to it when you get up in years!lol

That happened to me just last year. The scenario is i am new to my workplace and new to the apartment we are renting so the only people who greeted me was my family members, my boyfriend and my best fried. but anyway, i really am not bother if they would greet me or not. it is not a big deal to me after all as they are just human as i am and have a tendency that sometimes they forget something and it includes my birthday lol. Nah its just not a big deal for me. As long as i know they really care, its just fine.

I'll go you one better. I have had birthdays when not even my family said anything to me. Yeah, it hurts but we are not always as important to others as they are to us. That's life.

Try to look at it from the other angle. Have you ever forgotten on your friends and their birthdays? It happens to me very often. There is so much information in this world that human being is not able to keep them all in the head. Sometimes I know for the birthday date of my friend weeks before, but when the date comes I forget. So I would no bother much. If you wish to celebrate your birthday with your friends, just tell them, make a party and invite them all. Or invite them to the cinema. Or to a drink and bowling, or... You will feal much better this way than to sit at home thinking that nobody cares for you. And it is not so, they love you, they just do not know about your birthday, people just forget... And sometimes on my birthday I am so happy for it that I tell everybody I meet and I share my happines with them. They are happy for the moment with me themselves, too.
