general Do you feel bad when people forget your birthday?

[Miss 6,211]

I don’t think this is a topic already from what I saw.

pretty straight forward question. 

If you don’t celebrate your birthday then this doesn’t really apply to you then, but maybe it does? Idk. 

I will say that I try hard to remember my closest friends birthdays and you know sometimes I’ll forget too, but either way I still feel somewhat bad when people forget my birthday, specifically my close friends.

Funny how you bring this question up considering I nearly forgot that today has been Mickey Mouse's birthday on November 18th. Good timing. but yeah I do feel bad whenever I forget to wish somebody a happy birthday especially when it's somebody that I consider a friend

[Jesse Terrence 2,963]

Not at all. Nopony celebrated my birthday, so I got used to not care about it, to the point sometimes I forget my age.

[Flow 1,619]

Not really since Ive gotten used to it. 

Spoiler

It's my birthday right now as I post this 11/19.

If you mean by real life friends, then I don't have it since childhood to celebrate my birthday. I have my family at least  So my family will not forget about my birthday.

Well, if I invited someone and they forgot to come that would be weird, but, well, stuff happens. If I did not invite the person, then I do not expect them to remember anyway. if they call or text on the day, cool, if they don't then they don't, no big deal.

I feel bad that people remember and don't care lol

[Rainbow Cloud 16,158]

Not really, I'm used to being forgotten.

[Jason_Morningstar 0]

That has honestly never happened to me

[Tom Gallagher 33,521]

It's more the other way around with me. I always feel bad when I forget somepony's birthday.  I don't mind when people forget mine.

Yeah me too...so i will stay forever young

[Cash In 21,493]

I did, but at this point I've started caring less and less about it. Really the only people that remember are a few family members and a handful of people on this forum. I guess that's just how it is.

[SharpWit 2,472]

Not so much of an issue for me because I'm the jerk who makes others remember his birthday but doesn't put much of an effort to remember others. No one on my side of the family is particularly fussy about receiving gifts because we just enjoy the quality time.

I just saw my little sister this past weekend who turned 9 on election day, and I had completely forgotten even with two reminders. She brought up the fact that she had gotten nothing for my birthday last month.

[Yoshi89 5,290]

I haven't really been crazy about birthdays since my mid-20s. I don't really mind if anyone forgets.

[They call me Loyalty 1,941]

No, they are not expected to remember my birthday and vice versa. It is a hassle. And there are many days in a year to show appreciation for oneself and others in genuine ways that are not tied to social customs.

[Cagey 4,205]

There are six people whose remembering of my birthday matters to me. Otherwise, I don’t care. I do try to remember other people’s birthdays, though. 

[Props Valroa 25,979]

I always did, really. 

[Octavia Heartstrings 28,397]

Only if it's someone who knows me really well and should know when my birthday is.

[Thuja 3,658]

It doesn't bother me most of the time but my cousin also shares the same birthdate so I'm often overshadowed by his birthday lol but it's ok, he's a cool person to be around and I think that side of the family hasn't gotten used to me being around them for long since I've been trying to reconnect with them for at least 2 years now and I still haven't talked to everyone yet.

[Steve Piranha 28,752]

Not really. All that attention feel shallow. Plus I’m starting to forget it myself

[Gaines 1,105]

I don't feel bad, I feel shocked! How dare they forget my birthdate! 

Spoiler

But I forget theirs'  xD

 

[Shawchert 120]

Only if it is my mother, I mean who can forget the day a child came out of you? and sadly, she did forget this year

[SparklingSwirls 21,261]

No I don’t mind if people forget; I forget too. It’s more awkward to tell someone “it’s my birthday today” and then make them feel obliged to tell you happy birthday  

[DixonTheAdversary 1,631]

Not really. I don't really tell people my birthday, unless they ask about it. 

[Vefka 1,499]

I rather feel happy when people remember about my bd. If they don't, well we're just not close enough not a big deal. But if a person remembers about my bd, it means a lot
