Is it normal i wonder who will remember my birthday

You don't want to deal with fake people but you still come here. Go figure, huh.

I have never put my real birthday on social media.

Back when Facebook first came out, a lot of people my age had safety concerns around putting all of that information up on the internet. A lot of our concerns were total nonsense, to be honest, but I do still defend my concerns around putting your full name and date of birth up on a website where you are also likely to be publicly connected to your mother, who probably has put her maiden name in brackets next to her married name, in order for her old school friends to look her up. Those 3 pieces of information are enough for someone to get past a lot of security hurdles and pretend to be you.

As such, there are only about 5 people who ever wish me a happy birthday, unless I happen to have a birthday party/meal out. It seems that most people have become used to social media keeping track of these things. You fall off the radar.

Happy birthday in advance, OP. I hope you make your own day special and treat yourself well.

The real question is: Why do you expect casual friends (more accurately, acquaintances and strangers) to be so deeply involved in your private life?

My birthday is something I celebrate with close friends and relatives, people who actually know me. Not internet randoms or that one cute guy I saw on the bus the other day... Why would they remember my birthday? They have their own life.

Do you even remember the birthdays of all your fakebook friends? No? But you expect them to remember yours?

Hope your birthday goes well

Happy upcoming birthday, OP! It's okay to celebrate your own birthday just for the fun of it! It's good to nurture, and care for yourself.

Your birthday isn't the right time to do a thing like that. It's like cutting off yor nose to spite your face: you are going to cause yourself emotional pain just to prove a point to yourself, and the only person who could join you in the bitter satisfaction of having been right, is you. It'll feel lonely and you'll regret having inflicted it onto yourself.

Let the birthday pass as usual. Deactivate Facebook afterwards, when there's less at stake. You don't need to hold your entire birthday hostage just to prove to yourself whether your friends will or won't remember it.

And happy birthday, dude.

I dont remember anyones birthdays even the people I love. Id forget my own fuckin birthday if my wife didnt remind me. She knows how I am and always hits me with the "heeeey my birthdays coming up..." and i put the alarm on my phone to get hwr something

Idk exactly when your birthday is, dude, but I wish you a happy one. Good job on gettting off fb. I did the same. It's a pretty toxic place once you look at debating people and the like.
