Just spent my birthday alone

Not gonna lie I feel really upset right now as I’ve just spent my whole birthday alone for the first time in my life.

I’m estranged from my family so rely on my friends for stuff like this now.

Told my best mate and all he said was that weekday birthdays suck, yet he made the effort last year to make sure I wasn’t on my own, but not this time.

I am doing a social thing on Sunday for it, but even still having nobody you know around you on your birthday…it just sucks.

Am I being stupid? Do I just need to man up and get on with it? I’ve never felt so unimportant. I would never let any of my friends be alone like I have been on a birthday or at Christmas.

I just can’t believe this is how my life has turned out.

I try to practice not having expectations for others. You’re not wrong for how you feel though, it shows you what to work on during your next trip around the sun. I’m sorry that you were alone on your birthday. Happy belated birthday.

I’m just fed up of being constantly let down. I’m definitely not perfect or better than anyone but checking in with a friend isn’t exactly difficult is it? Especially when they know what burdens I’m already carrying.

I thought friends were supposed to look out for each other. Oh well, not much longer of this day.

And thank you for your reply and birthday wishes :+1:

Sure but our friendships are not our #1 priority in life. Sometimes life gets messy, sometimes things can be forgotten, sometimes other people are also having a really bad day. The point is that the only person we can hold accountable for disappointing us is ourselves.

Sending late birthday wishes your way. I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling disappointed. Sending hugs.

That’s a bit of a cop out to be honest. I’m not asking for someone to parade me on their shoulders and spend the whole day with me.

The reason so many people leave this life of their own accord is usually to a significant degree because nobody was there for them when it matters and they felt there was no other solution.

The older I get the more I understand it.

Heyyy @scorpi_92. :slight_smile:

Happy birthday today,

Im guessing it was a slow day
Slow days arnt fun. I like to be up moving with lots of time ahead of me

Snd today is my 700th day in a row of streight sobriety, including even cbd gummies and any form of nicotine lolol

My day celebrating my 700th day was ..
..
..walking around with a backpack from 6am to 10am
..going to a online AA meeting surrounded by posion oak
..getting a yummy special drink (only good part)
..i got yelled at all day by different people

..then when it settled i tried to remind just 2 people its ok to let go of their past and be ok
..all of them yelled at me more

So today on my 700th day of sobriety im left cluless

But hey
