Is it normal that i get offended when people forget my birthday

Well the thing is, my birthday is on new years day and I get a little bit offended when someone JUST sends me "happy new years" and completely forgets my birthday. What it says to me is "hey I forgot your birthday!" ughhh...

    It's OK to want people to remember "your" special day in our culture, but I'd wonder about the people who always forget. If they're your friends, maybe you need new friends.

    People always seem to forget my birthday and it's never properly celebrated in years. My birthday is sometimes on Memorial Day while sometimes, its around it. I still don't think it's any excuse for people not celebrate or at least wish me a happy birthday.

    Anyway, Happy Birthday OP!

    Why does it matter if someone remembers or forgets your birthday. I don't mean to sound rude or offensive, but you can't expect everyone to remember your birthday. It's just a day. (This being said I do not understand why people put so much importance on birthdays in general.)

    I forget my own birthday. Honestly, I don't think it's abnormal, but I don't get why it would bother you so much.
