My friends didn’t celebrate my birthday and now want to do it months later after I said I was upset. Am I a bad person for feeling resentment anyways?

I feel like an asshole but I also feel like I’m so worthless that they didn’t care enough to do it on my birth month

Honestly, birthdays after a certain age just aren’t as big of a deal. Your friends can love you plenty and just not remember (dates are difficult and people are busy). It doesn’t mean they don’t care about you. They probably didn’t know it was important to you until you said something. You aren’t a bad person for how you feel, but it is good to remember that birthday stuff it isn’t an indication of what you mean to them.

Idk bro depends on ur relationship with them. If you celebrate them on their birthdays and they forgot yours I wouldn’t blame you for feeling messed up about it. If you guys don’t normally celebrate and they forgot then i wouldn’t say ur a bad person id just note that the expectation wasn’t there for the, to go off
