I’m eating pizza and crepes by myself on my birthday and I’ve come to realize I’m not as important to my friends as they are to me
(I’m sorry if this seems like a pity party considering what’s going on in the world)
People wished me a happy birthday (the standard “happy birthday text/Facebook wall post, and I’m grateful for that) but no one came to hang with me to just eat (multiple people were invited).
I don’t expect gifts, I’m too old to throw a fit but it’s difficult not to feel the goddamn void of people when I’m just eating alone in my apartment, especially after two days ago we just celebrated another friend’s birthday, with a surprise birthday party(we’re all vaccinated), gifts and drinking.
Its been like this for 3 years now.
Maybe I’m that friend that people just tolerate but don’t really like. The pizza and crepes are good though. I’m grateful for that.
Next year I’m just gonna travel by myself to another country.
Netizens’ comments
- I’m sorry man. I felt this way for a long time but I need them more than they need me. Unpopular and stupid thing to do but fuck it. Just learn to enjoy your own company.
- This is a sad realization when you finally accept that most people are not there for you. If you can find one or two real friends they’ll last a lifetime…
I used to go above and beyond for people until I gripped that you don’t have to go above and beyond with people who know your worth and care about you.
