Maybe all your facebook friends were carrying out a social experiment to see how you would react to getting fewer messages than your cousin.

The fact that you actually care about this is a damming indictment of both you and wider society.

You have friends, stop whining and go for coffee with them.

No getting depressed over Facebook messages makes you look like a loser

Unless they were all from family members, I don't see why this would bother anyone.

So delete your FaceBook account. Then you won't have to stress about it.
I got 2 messages on my birthday and one of them was my Aunty, the difference is I don't care and I go out to see my friends every saturday (I work full time so I don't see them during the week) and it's all good, facebook means nothing. But yeah sure, my sister got like 150 posts on her wall for her birthday but she just knows people who use facebook to much.

How old are you damoni?

Equally, get the **** off facebook immediately if you're this sensitive

Why is Facebook the 'be all and end all' of everything? Now that's depressing.
Why do you care? If people don't wish you happy birthday they're **** friends, not you.

I didn't get any except a few good friends a couple of which did Facebook, others skype or whats app. I also have my bday hidden.

You don't need to care about what some people do or don't do on Facebook. You should know that even those popular with dozens of wishes, they won't be close to the majority either. So unless you have no one, I think you need to accept the way it is and be happy for what you have.
Lmao, at least be grateful 12 people remembered
I don't think I'll even get 12 this year.
But I'll get wishes from the handful that actually matter to me.
First world problems
I got 20 on my last birthday... a mix of family, friends and others....

But then you can do (imho) a few things......

Don't compare yourself

See what others do, and emulate it.

And remember the world isn't a fair place. we don't have equal access to everything.
I usually get about 20 each year, who the **** cares? It's only Facebook! Having a few friends you're close with irl is far more important imo.
