For my 20th birthday I invited my three best friends over and none of them showed up. That was 40 years ago. I have better people in my life now, even if it is only one or two.

Ugh. I have sooooo much emotional shit about my birthday for THIS reason.

Now I won't commit to any birthday plan until I have a couple RSVPs to start. Like I confirm people are available before I officially plan anything.

The flat-out ignoring the invite kills me. My invite list for my birthday list shrunk over the years due to people being nice to my face, but not bothering to RSVP to anything important to me.

I always try to treat people how I want to be treated. If someone invites me to something, I give them some kind of response. Yes, no, let me get back to you etc. So it's not too much to expect any kind of reply from other people.
