When your birthday comes, your expecting a lot from your friends that they will greet you. It doesn't matter whether they had gifts for you. A simple greetings from them will just made your birthday complete. But what if in this special day, they will suddenly forgot to greet you. What would you do? What would you feel?

I read from somewhere, that the most sensitive person in the world for the day is the birthday celebrant. we easily get hurt, be happy, be upset easily when it is our birthday. Nope i wouldnt get hurt if my friends forget my birthday. i usually forget theirs too LOL.

Yes, I am hurt whenever some people forgets too greet me when it's my birthday. That goes for people I think who are close enough to me that I expect them to greet me. Well, of course, I will just say it's alright when sometimes they forgot to do that because they are too busy but still, there's some ache inside thinking that they have not given a special part of me on their memory to forget me on my most special day. Then I will realize, I sometimes do forget other people's birthday and that's not intentional. So I will forgive them.

I always remember the special day of all the the people who were really close to me. I can only count them on my two hands who are those people.

My birthday was three days ago and I will say that yes, it probably would hurt. It didn't really happen to me but I know that I would feel dis-heartened if it did. When somebody close to you forgets about your 'special day', it, well, sucks. I wouldn't do anything though, I don't really like reminding people about my birthday. For example, my friend talked to me for about 45 minutes in the morning about our French test and THEN realized it was my birthday; I hadn't told her anything. xD

Yeah, even though you told to yourself that you wouldn't get hurt but still the idea that on your special day your friends doesn't even remember it is really painful.
