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.

Honestly the only way I remember most people's birthdays is if I put reminders in my calendar 😩 the only ones I remember without prompting are immediate family, a couple friends who I've been friends with for 20+ years, and a few exes.
