Today, it's been weeks since I made a Facebook page to arrange something for my birthday as no one was able to attend last year on short notice. Everyone was game but now everyone is flaking. One friend even said, "I'll see who RSVPs and then decide." FML

Today, I posted an event to have a get together with friends. Most of them put "not attending". I hadn't even set the date. FML

Party hard

Today, I sent out a note to 300 friends saying that I'm having a birthday party in a couple of weeks. I asked to please write back if they are interested in coming. Two people replied. They said they can't make it. FML

Today, all of my friends bailed from the birthday party I was throwing myself. This was also after they had encouraged me for months to have one, knowing I'd never had my birthday celebrated before. FML

Family love

Today, I'd arranged a family reunion to see family I hadn't seen in years. Out of about 20 people, only 3 said they would come. One messaged to cancel the night before. The other two no-showed. FML

Partytime!

Today, I'm having my housewarming party and had prepared food, drink, and games for all the 19 confirmed guests on Facebook. I waited till 11, but nobody showed up. I checked Facebook again and realized I had accidentally put tomorrow as the party date. I have to work the whole day tomorrow. FML

Today, I checked the facebook event page that I had set up for my 21st birthday at an awesome restaurant/bar which I had set up a week ago. Out of 39 invitees, the only person who said yes is my boyfriend. FML

Today, the last person I invited to my birthday party called and said they couldn't come because another party "came up" and they "hope I understand". It's on December 31st. This happens every year without fail. FML

Today, I decided to face one of my fears. I've never had a birthday party, out of fear that nobody would come. I sent out a mass text inviting people out for my birthday, trying to sound casual. The only replies I received were along the lines of, "Who the hell is this?" FML

Today, and recently, many of my friends have been acting strangely. My birthday is coming up soon, so I thought maybe they were planning a surprise party. Nope. Turns out they've just been secretly hanging out without me. FML

Today, I was checking the Facebook event page to see who is attending the party I am having this weekend, since my parents are going out of town. 1 person has confirmed. My mom. FML

plan for a repeat of last year. I finally stopped trying to do anything for my birthday because there was always an excuse.

Unless you’ve planned something strange or expensive (and even then, they shouldn’t have indicated they were keen), your friends are being unreliable and lame.

Facebook has cheapened the meaning of the words “friend” and “like.” Real friends who really like you would certainly come to your birthday party. You may want to get off the Orwellian-named “social media.” Winston Smith knows it’s asocial!

Every now and then you surprise me, Richard, and actually make sense!

Have you ever considered that they are NOT your friends?

How about instead of this lame birthday party, you plan the day of your dreams for your birthday, for you alone. Just take a bunch of selfies to document the whole thing and post them on your Facebook page. Have fun!
