I didn't celebrate my birthday because I didn't want to do a costume theme that the other girls wanted to do.

Throwaway because I don't want to ruin my reputation.<br><br>So my birthday was last week. And my friends wanted to hang with me. I thought "hey why not? It's my birthday, might as well hang with friends instead of family". I told them I wasn't really up for anything crazy and they were like "that's fine! We'll play it low key." So I asked them "what did you have in mind?" And they were like "oh idk, we could do a costume thing." And I was like "eh, I'm not really feeling a costume party." And they were like "It's no big deal! Just do one! It'll be fun, I promise."<br><br>(tbf they weren't trying to be mean. They were honestly excited. I was just tired)<br><br>I got annoyed because it was *my birthday* and I didn't want to do a costume, and they were still pushing for it. I was stressed, but didn't want to seem like a bitch, so I just said yes. But I thought "fuck it, I'm going to hang with my family instead. They'll let me do whatever." And I did. Hang with them. And they were all like "oh, I thought you were going to hang with your friends." And I was like "nah, I decided not to." And they were like "Oh. Well that's a shame."<br><br>So I think my friends found out because on Saturday, one of them messaged and was like "You're a bitch for not telling us you weren't coming." And I was like "hey, it's *my* birthday! I can do whatever the fuck I want." And she was like "Yeah well I hope your birthday was good." But just like, in general, everyone has been pissed with me. One has straight up ignored me, another keeps making passive aggressive comments, and the others just seem annoyed and hurt. So yeah. That's it.
