Not that that's some benchmark, but anyone who really knows you well will think 'wait, isnt your birthday in June?'
Anyways, I'm a decently outgoing dude who has lived all over the US and met tons of people. I think less than 10 would even know if I died tomorrow, and probably 3 would care enough to attend a funeral. At least, that's how many call or text once or so a year just to ask how things are going, not wanting anything in return at all. Rare. Excluding family, current coworkers and such.
- BlackLotus89 4y agoSort of true, but not really. I don't remember any birthday of anyone, I'm not a birthday wisher and I hope nobody congratulates me to my birthday. I try to remember family, but sometimes forget it. Nearly forgot my anniversary as well. I'm not a fan of celebrating dates which I feel is a bit forced. If you really care about someone they will know it without you having to remember their birthday or some other irrelevant date. I show my affection through actions not gestures.
- silisili 4y agoI generally agree, as I'm also a 'forgetter' especially with dates. But I guess to say, I remember the general idea of when someone's birthday is if I've known them long enough. Usually the month, or at least the season. Maybe that's not the norm, though.
- thunky 4y ago> lived all over the US This is a big factor. It's not easy to maintain a long distance friendship.
