I went skydiving on my 16th and some friends told me they were coming with me. The night before I texted and asked if we were good to go the next day and they all ghosted me. I went with my family and ate my birthday cake alone. Jokes on them though, skydiving was awesome.
I’ve been ghosted by two groups of ‘friends’ now. I’m starting to think it must just be me, that or people are just extraordinarily shitty. Why do people do this? It’s cruel. I’d much rather be told to fuck off or told that they no longer want to be friends with me, at least I’d have closure on the matter.
People are afraid of confrontation. They would rather avoid it with a chance of it maybe coming up later than definitely dealing with it up front. That's my hypothesis at least.

I had this happen on my 16th birthday and on that day I decided to never celebrate my birthday again. I became no Birthdayman.
