since I woke up this morning, I've told myself to not feel sad if none of my middle school friends wish me a happy birthday. Yet here I am feeling sad lol. There's only one person from that friend group who wished me a happy birthday. And the chance is, our next chat will be in next year for another birthday wish.

@hopefulencounter its totally valid to feel sad if its your special day no one wishes you . you def deserve all the attention and love. sometimes our paresnts can try much but they cant take the place of friends . just like siblings cant take place of parents even though they try their best to not make their siblings feel absence of parents . just like with you , even if your parents might have wished you and cooked you meals and all , its still cant take place of friends . but un dia , one day you will meet great friends and just one good friend will make u so much happy you wont feel the need of others . haappiest bdayyyy . do something whimsical for yourself today .

@hopefulencounter Happiesttt birthdayy to YOU! 🎉

Days like this have a strange way of making us feel the most alone when expectations and reality don't quite match up. But I still hope you don't let those thoughts sadden you, especially on yourrr day ...

@MeilleureAmie :") thank you so much!💕

yes i do have other few friends who are always there for me not only on birthday day.. 

is it weird if now i think of not wishing my distant friends a happy birthday when it's their turn to celebrate??  one of them even joked when i said i may be depressed back then, she said "why is everyone depressed nowadays?" really saddened me because she used to be the one who's closest to me 😕😕

@hopefulencounter Mhm, glad to know that you have such friends around you who make you feel valued 💗

And yeah, not wishing someone a birthday is not weird at all! Makes sense to put your energy where it's reciprocated. That said, it depends on the bond you have with that person... if you think a small wish is worth it, go for it. And if it all feels lopsided and draining, it's okay to let it go.

And that "why is everyone depressed nowadays" comment... Ahh, that must have stung, especially coming from someone who used to be close. It's easier to pass such statements when you're not the one going through it 🫂

@MeilleureAmie :") yeah her comment really stung, maybe for her it's like she's joking. The reason why I don't want to wish them becauss I'm afraid if I do wish them then they won't reply to my message or will respond very slowly

thank you for hearing me out and giving me advice <3

@hopefulencounter That fear makes so much sense... it's not really about the wish itself, it's about not wanting to feel unseen again. I understand. Your feelings are completely valid 🫂
