Ugh crappy situation for sure. People suck. I'm sorry your missing his birthday though, but I wouldn't go either in that situation and I'm sure he'll get it~
He ended up getting it, I think he's just sick of how the situation winds up affecting him in these scenarios. Which is totally understandable. Thanks!
HAHA, I've actually done that before, and it wasn't pretty at all. Sometimes if I get some alcohol in me, I get in a mood where I'm all "HI, I'M HERE TO TELL YOU WHAT I THINK OF YOU ALL."
Thanks so much for your advice! I feel good that I didn't force myself to go in order to be some bizarre perception of what I think a good friend should be, my new years resolution was to not force myself into anything that I know would make me uncomfortable (enforced mostly because of situations like this that have cropped up in the past), it just sucks when it feels like I'm letting a friend down.
Pretty much what Dodgers says. Totally understandable, but let your friend know you still care. I'm sure he'll appreciate it. And I say this as someone who had all of one person show up to to his 18th birthday party.
Thank you! Yeah, I've learnt to not throw parties on my birthday, as much as I think I'm not precious about stuff like that, the turn out always adversely affects my enjoyment of the evening. THE HORROR OF BEING SHALLOW.
I actually hadn't thrown a party for years when I did this for that very reason (I think I have a journal entry about this wayyyy back) but I figured it was my 18th, and I knew a bunch of people (though wasn't close friends with many) so why not? I'd invite three times as many people as I actually wanted to be there and it would work out.
Well, yes and no. But the thing is, once I got over the "really?" shock of it - which I did pretty quickly because I decided I wasn't having another shitty birthday - I had a lot of fun. The guy who came was my longtime (since pre-school!) buddy and we just bowled and ate a few of the donuts I bought, then went back to my place and played video games. Honestly, probably the best "birthday party" I ever had.

Personally, I would of went anyway...but that's just me. I would of been like "Fuck you bitches, I AM HERE, and what?!" lol
BUT I do understand why you didn't want to go and I'm sure your friend will understand as well.
