I am very shy and introverted , but last year thanks to some close friends I started doing more things. The last 5 years I never did anything for my birthday (today, turned 17) but this year I wanted to. But my mom decided that we should all go somewhere with a family who I barely know. I really wanted to do something fun with a few friends, and I can't even invite one due to the house already full. She didn't even ask me if I wanted to this for my birthday and only told me after she already asked everyone else.

My gift I had to choose myself, even though I dropped hints multiple times and told my brother what I wanted directly.

Outside my family, only 2 people actually told me happy birthday.

I also got covid, so I couldn't even see my friends today (can go back to school tomorrow, and the family we are seeing knows I have covid and don't mind) and felt really shit thanks to a stomach bug.

I just feel like people don't really care about how I feel. My brother got into university and we went to fancy dinner. All I get for my birthday is dinner at home. Every day someone blames me for something, my parents scold me every other day for being on my pc to much and my brother is just a dick most of the time.
