You're welcome

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

1. close friends plan parties better. They have the advantage of knowing things you won't see about yourself. 2. alcohol. everyone is friends when there's alcohol involved. 3. location location location. refer to number 1. 4. ambiance. get the party started with a dj/someone that can mix a good playlist. 5. plan for an after party in case no one wants to leave. usually people are too drunk to want to leave anyways so keep plenty of booze around. that's pretty much how I do it. experience talks. and I've never failed at having a good time with people ;)

Aw, OP. Something similar happened to me before. I invited like 30 people and only about 3 showed up. Happy birthday though. I usually just celebrate with family and close friends. It's more intimate and meaningful than a big party anyway.

Happy birthday OP! Better to have a few best friends than many fake friends.

So your parents never had a party for you?

OP's parents might've realized from the start that OP was too shy to handle being the center of attention (which developed into a fear of no one coming because OP didn't know what it would be like, or something like that) and decided not to throw a full on birthday party for them because they didn't think OP would be okay in that situation, OP might not have had a birthday party before because of financial reasons, OP might've when they were a toddler (but thinks those don't count) but not afterwords because they told their parents they didn't want one, or OP could just be exaggerating. I mean, I never really had any birthday parties (unless it was a year my parents thought was important, like hitting double digits) before my bar mitzvah last year because I just didn't want them since I've always been the "okay, it's my birthday, my friends will stuff a balloon in my cubby/locker/whatever we have this year, some people will sing happy birthday to me, I'll get ice cream with my family, and I'll get some presents" kind of person.

OP's parents were maimed in a tragic birthday candle accident during a party for an older brother.
