I always remember my friends' birthdays, but on that particular day I tend to forget, either which frnd's birthday it was supposed to be or which day it is.. some how, I manage to call them later that night, or may be send belated b'day wishes( if I'm not able to contact them).. wel, not in all cases. I remember very special birthdays, of course. So I started setting reminders.. do you ever forget such birthdays, wedding anniversaries, etc?? what do you do remember such days?? Do you ever feel bad if your friend doesn't wish you on your birthday??

Yeah, i keep forgetting birthdays. Friends keep adding on my list so it is really hard to keep track of them all. I even got from friends who are having birthdays close to eachother so i kind of mix it up sometimes. Right now i am saving their birthdays on my phone so i will be alerted everytime there's a birthday from family and friends.

I have been forgetting them more and more lately. I used to be really good at remembering and then I got busy with life and managing details and all those things that distract you (like this web site, lol). There are certain ones you can't forget though like family members because they have been a part of your reality for so long. It's also easier to remember birthdays where the number day is the same as yours or they are in the same month and close to yours.

I'm really terrible at remembering birthdays. I have to really focus to remember them...just writing them down doesn't work because I usually forget to check which birthdays are upcoming. Because I'm so bad about remembering dates, I don't feel too bothered if people don't remember mine!

I just remember a few birthdays, like, by linking them to some other day. But in college everyone has the habit of checking up, and we celebrate our frnds birthdays, by throwing a party etc..
