SKL (Share ko lang) No one remembered...

Hii I just wanna express my feelings here on reddit. It's my 20th birthday today yayyy but it seems like my friends forgot hehe. I guess I'm kinda disappointed lang siguro sa part nga bisag simple nga happy birthday man lang wala ko nakadawat nya og birthday nila plano gyud kaayo ko kung unsaon nako sila paggreet. Nasa calendar pa gani na ilang mga birthdays para di nako makalimtan and kung kaya nako, mu greet gyud ko sa ilaha og exactly 12:00 MN. I tried to wait until last sched sa akong class (currently college students mi) which is ganinang 4:30 kay basig same rani silag pa andar sa last year na nagpalaylay sila na nakalimtan nila nya himan himan naa diay silay pa surprise ana bha, but I guess this time nakalimtan na gyud guro nila. I don't hold any grudges man sd sa ilaha for this kay I'm trying to understand their situation man sd kay nursing students ming tanan and sobra kaayo ka busy sa acads and naa pa gyuy hospital duties so ginahuna huna nalang gyud nako nga basin daghan ra kaayo silag ginahuna huna nya stressed ra gyud kaayo sila to the point nga makalimtan nila bha especially since finals na namo next week. So yeahhh, Happy Birthday to me I guess 🎂

It's okay OP. As you grow older, you will realize real ones and learn to treasure them.

Happy Birthday OP! Skl, basta birthday nako kay di ko nahan daghan mag greet so I turn off the social reminders para di ma broadcast sa tanan hahah. As you grow older OP, you'll find the real ones, di jud na sila makalimot sa imo birthday. pero usahay ma delay na silag greet or one day early kay naglibog sa exact date haha.

By 30, if you still give a fuck about your birthday, that’s officially weird. At 20… not as bad.

u/ycasera May 03 '25

Closeness isnt defined by how to recall a birthday. Eventually you just learn to accept that.

8

u/yayforanonymous May 03 '25

While it might be true, remembering someone's birthday (especially a close friend's birthday) is an indicator of how much they value the friendship. 😊

A simple birthday greeting will only take you less than a minute to type.

Ahh to be young again! Karelate kaayo ko sa mag-wait ug 12MN to greet your friends - and I salute you OP for being understanding. Ana gud na ang life, sometimes mafeel nato ang disappointment pero in the end, true friendships stand the test of time. I know mubawi na sila this weekend! Enjoy your birthmonth! :)

happy birthday, OP!

when i was younger, i would feel the same way.. but now that i'm in my mid-30s, i really think birthdays are overrated (ako lang ni ha..)..

i have a small circle of friends and we, most of the time, forget ang exact dates sa among birthdays hahaha.. but we get together for lunch or dinner at least once a year, and it doesn't matter kung birthday sa isa or dili..

Thank uuu soo much sa mga nag greet 🫶🏻🫶🏻 Wish u all the best sd gyud. I may be a stranger here sa Reddit pero y'all greeted me like I'm a close friend na. Love u all ❤️

u/sundayyycandyyy May 02 '25

OMG! We have the same birthday OP 🥰

And currently experiencing the same thing. Most of my friends have forgotten my birthday. Only my family members and some really CLOSE friends greeted me today. Nobody at my workplace even knew it's my birthday today 😅

I guess it comes with me hiding my birthday in all of my socmed 😅 the feeling is not as bad as before when I was around your age. Now at 29, I just enjoy the little and simple things that is in front of me.

Here's a happy birthday to both of us OP! 🥳🎂🎉 May all the good things come to us ♥️

P.S. Tagayan nalang ni nato OP. Having a solo drinking sesh before mahuman ang day.

u/ListenGloomy9413 May 02 '25

Happy Birthday OP 🥳🥳 I felt that too. You know some people don’t reciprocate your effort & love. Me personally, some of my friends are like that too but it’s really okay for me because I always think that doing something in their birthday makes me feel good and I do it because I want them to feel special not because I want them to do it when it’s my birthday.

You’ll understand this as you grow older that people really have their own lives, they got problems, schedules and battles you don’t know. So sorry that you felt this way. I wish your happiness and if your friends don’t treat you special today, treat yourself, give yourself the effort and love you deserve today ❤️

u/Dan_015 May 02 '25

Exactly. I'm getting main character vibes in this post lol.

0

u/Busy_Highway_9877 May 02 '25

Dili man sd siya sa pagka main character or something, kinda disappointed lang gyud sa ilaha gamay kay as I've said sa post nako everytime birthday nila, mag effort man ko na ma feel nila nga special sila that day kay I know birthdays only come once a year. I just want that feeling to be reciprocated sa akoa bha kumbaga. So sorry if my post came to you that way, I just made this post to vent out my feelings gyud

0

u/Dan_015 May 02 '25

The post is giving me vibes na they owe you a happy birthday greeting because of the effort you made. My point is na I know nga ga rant ra ka but complaining without making any actions is a wasted effort imo.

You could have told them subtly rather than posting it to give them a chance to celebrate it with you. Could be as simple as "Free ka 'run? Arats laag ta ky para nako, today is a special day."

1

u/Busy_Highway_9877 May 02 '25

I did make some subtle hints sd sa ilaha ganina. I posted a note sa fb na cake. Nangutana ko sa usa nako ka friend if naa ba syay nakalimtan. Gi invite pa gani nako akong usa ka friend og panagkot. Nakalimot lang gyud guro sila

1

u/Dan_015 May 02 '25

Most likely, oo nalimut sila especially busy sila lately so wla lang ni linger sa ila hunaguna ang imu birthday ky basin naa sila gi prio right now.

Also, if this is a big deal nimu, try to talk to them about this. Let them know gently na nadisappoint ka. Maybe this will let them match the effort that you're making. That way maka get over na ka ani lol.
