Is it normal my friends don't hangout with me on my birthday?

I always make an effort to take my friends out for their birthday, either going to the movies or having lunch. I'll invite them and pay for everything. If they have other plans on their birthday I'll usually invite them to hang out the day after or whenever they're free. The problem is these same friends don't do the same for me. Some of them usually forget my birthday and others just send a "Happy bday" text. I wish they would treat me to lunch or movie.

    Man, just stop doing shit for them. Maybe you'll feel better afterwards. If it consoles you, I myself don't even get a birthday wish

    Same thing with me. It feels like a have to keep them fully entertained just so they say hi. I try to hang out, text, and go do something around town. But most of the time when I text them hello or whats up, I dont even get a reply. Do they really have no time to say hi back? Really? Then I look in the history text and it like that for 1-2 times each month. I try my best to be their friend and text them but they really just ignore me.

    I did a test. I seem to be the one that has to text first. So I thought let me not text any friends untill they text me. Guess what. It lasted about 8 months. I had absolutely no texts. Exept I did keep texting my best friend but he would always just reply things like, cool, nice, awesome, sweet. I know its not me. I am quiet, really easy going, and friendly. Tbh, its really pathetic how people treat people these days.

    I know this isnt my post but is anyone like me in this situation. Same with you poll creator, are you like this?

      I don't like socializing through text as much as other people. When friends text me I'll try and respond with something so they don't feel as if I'm ignoring them. Perhaps this is what your friends are doing? Maybe send them a clear text asking them if they want to hang out and if they still ignore you then it's probably time to move on.

      I've had friends like that in the past. They befriended me and I put in the effort to continue the friendship but they would usually ignore my texts when I would invite them to hang out. I accepted the fact we were probably not friends anymore and moved on. I know it might be hard to accept a friendship ending but it's bound to happen. I've come to learn that people can be selfish at times. Sooner or later you'll find one friend who truly cares about you and respects your friendship.

    It's really nice that you do those things for your friends, but they're under no obligation to do the same for you. Some people just don't see birthdays as a big deal, it doesn't mean they don't like/care about you. :)

    You can always get closer with them. Make some best friends already.
