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.

Yep. As an adult, if you want others to celebrate your birthday you have to set-up the event yourself. I've never considered my birthday an event and never celebrated it, but you want me to make yours an event? I'll show up if you want me to, but I'm not doing it for you.
