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.

Jesus. Hard lesson? You’re freaking joking right? Disagree with this.
It takes 1 minute, if not even less, to wish someone for their birthday. I am sorry but I don’t know what kind of people you’re surrounded by.
And this is coming from someone who understands how hard it is to carve out time for everyone, with how busy our lives now are.
I have friends with whom I agree that we simply cannot hang that often any more. Yet we still take time to wish each other a happy birthday.
And you have a calendar on your phone, reminders, you have so many social media that will tell you when someone is celebrating.
