So said friend forgot it was my birthday, but remembers a new coworkers birthday the following week. I reminded this friend that it was my birthday, to all she said was “happy birthday my bad” afterwards left me hanging when I tried to make conversation on my birthday. Later on the evening of my birthday she said “I can’t text back” when she’s been posting on social media all day.
I’m just not sure how to react to all of this. This friend has a history of leaving me hanging on days that matters most. And I’m just feeling kinda sad about the whole ordeal because I don’t have many friends to begin with.

Sounds like she’s not a good friend. I would consider her more of a bad acquaintance based on her interactions with you. I know you don’t have many friends (I don’t either) but do you want a person like that in your life, someone who makes you feel bad about yourself or makes you question the value of friendship?
I say good riddance to her and see the open spot in your life as making room for someone better to come into your life.
She’s no longer your friend
I have lots of friends that don’t acknowledge my birthday. Doesn’t sound like you made concrete plans with her to celebrate together and she ditched you. Is it possible you’re taking this too personal?
My suggestion is to make plans for “days that matter most” and put some effort into getting the ball rolling with ideas. It’s nice if others do all the work for us but it’s ultimately our job to create the experienced we want.
so here is- happy be late birthday- it’s time for you to distance from this so called friend.. she is not kind or been considerate.. time for you to find other people to be friend with, there is no need to waste any time to think about her
Bdays aren’t that big of a deal, idk why some people make it so.
Happy birthday 🎉
