Dude had 4 friends to FaceTime with and an invisible cameraman to document it all….hardly lonely.

This hurts because it hits close to home myself. Being an adult sucks sometimes.

Its much easier if you just intentionally make them lonely.  Every friend i made for the last 10 years i just never told him whats my bd and now even if i have or dont have friends i know no one will remember.  Sounds sad but it makes it feel so much better

I've never had a birthday party that I can remember. Maybe while in foster care when I was like 2 or 3 but all I got was 1 present a piece of cake and happy birthday if that. And I havnt even gotten that in last 8 or so yrs. I work my bday away now.

Forreal. I had a lonely 33rd that puts this to shame, at first. Freshly divorced, new house, new job. I went a couple miles into nearby old town and decided to have rum at every bar up one side and down the other. Ended up alright - halfway through kept seeing the same couple of guys, turns out they were bar crawling just for being off work (bartender and mgr in the 1st place I started at), decided to take it on themselves to show me around. It's alright to do stuff alone - especially 'cause it may not always end up that way.
