I'm a much better friend than my friends are. It's making me bitter. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I call and check in periodically, send birthday cards/gifts, almost never cancel plans. [ Reply | More ]

get over yourself. People have lives - kids, jobs, family and other friends.... just becuase they aren't sending birthday cards and calling you every three seconds doesn't mean that they don't care about you - it is nice that you do it for them - but don't do it to expect it from others.

Ditto. If you don't feel like your friends are as good to you as you are to them, you may be missing a signal they're sending. Maybe you need new friends... [ Reply | More ]

For some reason I cannot reply to you directly, but I never remember birthdays and I am not the quickest on the call return. nevertheless, i am ALWAYS there in an emergency, to celebrate a good thing, or to listen when someone's in a bad way. I think we're all wired for friendship in a diff way and just because they're maybe diff than you you shouldn't think they're not good friends... at least from the list you wrote... [ Reply | More ]

op: the thing is that my family recently suffered several major set-backs. I have confided in a few friends but haven't heard from any of them, so I do feel they don't care--it's not just failing to remember my 2 yo's b-day. [ Reply | More ]

I don't know what you mean by setbacks, but sometimes people are uncomfortable calling after something bad. Seems silly I know, but it's the truth. You may have to be the one to call them. People don't want to intrude or don't know what to say etc. [ Reply | More ]

are you a "Hibernator"... Are they giving you space, but just too much ? Are these long standing friends or new ones ? And can you reach out and say you're feeling a bit neglected ? [ Reply | More ]
