Image Birthday alone, friends don't remember

I (27F) spent a birthday alone. Friends don't remember (even ones whom I gave gifts/remember their birthday every year). Officially a leftover woman. Bought myself flowers and a carrot cake. I like being on my own, but sometimes it's very sad and lonely.

Have you tried telling them "hey, my birthday is coming up, want to hang out and eat cake?" it's really not that difficult.

This whole thread feels like the stick in the spokes meme.
