If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

My ex from 16 years ago (16 year olds) wished me happy birthday the other week. Was weird we're both married with kids and never speak at all
She’s DTF
(Doing The Friendship)
Weird but sweet anyway
Yeah just way outta the blue, now the real question is so I have to remember hers now? Cause I don't think i do haha
If you want to, ask her and put it in your calendar! It's always nice to know someone remembers you fondly enough to send well wishes 😊
Yeah, this is great advice. It's unfortunate when pressure to do social niceties holds you back from enjoying meaningful connection with people. Some people are better at remembering dates than others, and caring enough to ask (and put it in one's calendar) is at least as powerful a gesture as actually remembering it.
OP could take a jokey tone to things, such as by expressing surprise that she was able to remember, and then asking what her birthday is
why is it weird? I do that too.
Because you're weird
i learn nothing from this
