Is it time to kick them all to the curb? No, I didn't buy them gifts so I would get gifts but you would think if they cared they would have gotten me something.

What every single one of them. Maybe they are getting together to plan a surprise party - no? That is bloody awful not even a card eh! Ask 1 or 2 of them if they knew it was your birthday and let them know (even your Mum didn't get you anything - thats incredible) Are you being totally honest about this cos it sounds bizarre to me. Buy yourself something you want and if anyone asks about it, just tell them that as no-one got you anything for your birthday you decided to treat yourself. Their reaction might tell you something and you are not accusing anyone of anything. Happy Birthday anyway. : - ) It must have hurt your feelings a lot and I feel for you. You can choose your friends however, but not your family. Cheers babe

You will be rewarded for your thoughtfulness and generosity, nonetheless. You will find things that you were looking for. In stores, there will be items you never thought you'd see on store shelves. Things you wanted will be on sale. You will stop at a yard sale or thrift store and find an item you couldn't afford like new for practically nothing. You will narrowly avoid one accident after another, often by miraculous means. Amazing things will happen. Just do not give in to the anger and hurt you feel-- it will come to no good. Gripe a day or two, if you wish, tell them that you feel cheated and wonder if you should get them anything next time. It may make you feel a little better and they may learn to be more generous from it, or maybe not. After a day or two, let it go-- LET IT GO!!! It will fester an boil if you let it-- bring you only ill feelings and worse luck, sour the gift you are to receive for your goodness. Let it go and go on with your life. Plan what you will actually give them next time their birthdays come around. Perhaps you won't be as generous as this time, but get them something anyway. And reap the benefits from the universe, God, karma-- whatever you want to call the force that will reward you as I said you will likely be rewarded. Enjoy all the good fortune you reap.

I think a part of you did buy them gifts with the thought that they would do for you. You know the good neighbor policy and it backfire. If you bought the gifts with the right motive, then don't worry about what you get or don't get for your birthday. Just be more selective with your gift giving or just don't be surprise when the favor is not returned. Oh by the way, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY. And you didn't get me anything for my birthday.

Did they know it was your birthday. If they did you are better off keeping away from them until such time as they ask you what is wrong. Did you buy expensive gifts thereby embarrassing them if they could not afford to buy you one back of equal value. Did you buy them something that suggested they needed it which could have caused offense. These are all things you should have asked yourself before buying them presents in the first place. Either way Billy, you have learned a lesson - life is hard..

Its constantly the final element to inform the guy the variety you experience in case there is a few fake effect interior the relationship. He could no longer be conscious he's hurting you and he could have some issues or something or themes and being a guy the tend to conceal their emotions and not open up. To be honest are not getting him something, you have spent lots if he expects then in simple terms supply him a cuddle and a kiss. i might say supply him the style of his own drugs then you extremely will discover out the certainty and don't supply him too lots interest because is while men think of they are o.k. to do in spite of they want. So elect the circulate and supply what you get! Valnetines day is greater specific for a woman than a guy so in simple terms wait and watch! If it would not artwork out then you extremely understand you're able to do greater effective than him! =)

Ouch! That's hurts! I wouldn't kick them all to the curb. I'd talk to them about how you are feeling. Be honest as possible. Sometimes people just don't THINK. Some of us people who have sensitive feelings (that's a good thing...the world needs all kinds of people to function properly) really don't understand that there are personalities that really don't think of doing things for others like we do. Maybe you can help them out next year and send them a birthday present "wish" list. It might help. I wish you luck!

I know that you shouldnt buy gifts in the hope of receiving gifts back...but out of sheer good manners, and showing that they care a card, greeting, anything when it is someones birthday is lovely to receive.
And to be honest I cannot see everybody forgetting your birthday, 1 or 2 maybe.
Next year...forget the presents unless there is someone special you really want to send to..just send a card...then see what next year brings... no card in return...well I wouldnt bother having them on my mailing list.

I've come to not expect any gifts, so if I get any I am pleasantly surprised. It's better than being let down. Did anyone at least call and wish you a happy birthday? :/ If I forget or can't buy my friends a gift, I at least call or somehow get a happy birthday message to them.

Awww Man, That Sucks! WTF were they thinking. Did they even call you to wish you a happy day? Next Year send them giftcards that say $50. Bad thing is when they go to spend the balance it will be 0 bc you already treated yoursef. A sweet little revenge. That would suck. All happy that there going to get some new release cds and then bam the cashier says "I'm sorry but you have a balance of 0dollars and 0cents.

Never resort to NOT buying them gifts. It just brings you to the level as them. I hardly ever get gifts. Give it time, you might get some late ones in the mail or something, If not, give us a yell
