It was my birthday yesterday and it was probably the worst one I’ve ever had to endure. I was just so lonely. I do nothing but help people all year round without reward or expectations and I went to sleep feeling aweful and shunned by everyone. I’m getting the feeling that being a bastard might actually be more rewarding in life. Because when the chips are down it really seems like it’s every person for themselves. Really hate life at the moment.

Perhaps it's time to make some changes in your life, as it doesn't sound like you're having a good time at all. Take some time to think carefully about things that make you happy, and then go get 'em ! You have the power to make your life better - you can do it !

You have my sympathy and I know exactly what you mean. I will always go out of my way to help people and I'm the kind of person who'll do anything at all for my friends, but there have been so many times (especially this last year when I've been alone) when it really felt like nobody in the world cares - sometimes, all I needed was a text message or an email just saying "Hi, how are you?!" but nobody had the time. We all just need to look after one another a little more.
A bit late I know, but happy birthday

Please try not to change who you are - and a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I feel sure many people 'get' what you have been doing. I've never felt quite the way you do now but I have felt unappreciated many times and my deeds have been acknowledged in the end. I hope you love life again very soon.

Sorry to hear that. Had my share of birthdays when I've been surrounded by familiar strangers, supportive people who mean well, but just aren't the ones I'd want to mark an occasion with. Hope you don't have to endure this for long.

You couldn't throw a party for yourself and ask for balloons in lieu of gifts? Nope, much better to sit around & mope.........

@Akfishlady at age 70, i have long lost patience with hapless whining......if you feel like making soothing noises, have at it! My hope is my words will actually help...commiserating rarely helps........
@AnneWimsey I bought myself a beautiful cake and ate it all to myself ?
@Akfishlady I really just needed a hug
@Nardi good for you!
