My 21st. Male.

So yesterday was my 21st birthday, no one outside my family and about 5ish friends wished me a happy birthday. In one of the friendship groups we have almost a tradition to changed the name of our group chat to "happy birthday *name* and say happy birthday etc, I'm normally the one who changes it. But no one remembered mine. I just feel a bit betrayed and forgotten, everyone that knows me knows that I'm a very self-conscious and anxious person. Am i right to feel this way or am I just over thinking and shouldn't be to bothered?

Well did it show on ur FB that it's your birthday? You can't reasonably expect that people will remember your birthday

You can if theyre meant to be friends surely?

God knows, what people did 13+ years ago before facebook?

This guy had 5+ friends plus his entire family wish him happy birthday. That's already a lot. Do you yourself remember the birthdays of 20+ people by heart? Of course not. The OP could have simply made it so that his friends know it's his BDay on fb and not uselessly become nervous and anxious when every single person that he knows doesn't remember it because they have better things to do than remembering birthdays.
