How would you feel if a good friend didn't invite you out to celebrate their birthday? They did, however, invite all their other close friends and acquaintences. This is a friend you've known since childhood and is a friend you regularly hang out with. In the years you've known this person you've only been invited out once for their birthday. You're not the life of the party and you don't bring lots of singles with you whenver you hang out.
Every year you heard this friend had a party, but they tell you they "don't celebrate their birthday." Every year they tell you the party they were at was to celebrate the birthday of a friend of theirs, not their own. Oh yeah, this person lies and manipulates about other issues a lot.

Sounds like you're saving a lot of money by not having to buy a birthday gift. Please say you didn't buy them a gift. You sound a little passive so there is a chance you did. Why don't you just ask them directly what's up. Don't be mean, just find the right time, think about the right words and ask. What do you have to loose... A friend???

Time to get a new one. I had a few friends who are the same way but i got even by not inviting them on my birthday. People change and so must you if you want to move on. You'll be happy to find new people who shares your idea.

What did you say? This is your FRIEND! Hmmmmm - answer this question: what is a friend? Now answer the question! no really answer the question! OK now that we know what a friend is, is this little jerk a friend or someone that maybe you like and he or she does not feel the same way about you. don't put yourself in a relationship like this, there are lots of cool people you will meet in life, go find them. Good Luck Dave

Given that last part, sounds like you need a new friend. I was going to say you should talk to them about it, but if its part of a pattern...
If you're a patient person, you might let them know that you've noticed said pattern, but I haven't seen that work out well / be worth it.

Doesn't sound like a friend at all, but merely an aquaintance. A dishonest one at that. Cut this "friend" loose and hang out with people who treat you with the respect you deserve!

sweetie, they're no friend. do they use you for stuff, info, boredom relief when no one else is available? I'm sorry i don't mean to be harsh, but respect yourself and love yourself enough to find people who truly cherish you. obviously they don't want everyone else to know they hang with you. question.....are they in the closet? then they may be afraid of guilt by association. you really need to talk to them and see if you can fix this. if nothing changes there's a whole world out there just waiting for you..............good luck!!!

i don't think any good friend would do that. I'd be rather hurt, but if that's the way they want to be then you know what....time to start looking for a new friend.
