How does anyone remember birthdays apart from immediate family? I feel bad missing peoples birthdays but unless I saw you recently or I’m on Facebook that day I can guarantee I’m going to miss it

I was gonna delete Facebook a long time ago, but before I did I went through and put everyone I care about's birthday in my calendar. You can set it to repeat yearly and it's very helpful.
Using google/apple reminders. Or if you get invited to the party by a friend? I don't even care about my birthday, so I always forget to remember others
I just add a calendar event on my phone whenever I find out about somebody’s birthday. Workmates, school friends, whatever. I try to send them a happy birthday message the morning of, bc starting off your birthday with that seems like a nice thing.
People typically don't remember people who didn't show up. They hardly remember those that did.
Unless you have a situation like mine where someone in your life comments on the absence. I never notice that my dad doesn't say happy birthday until my mom tells me. 💞
literally just whatever calendar app I'm using. i barely know what month it is, expecting me to memorize a dozen dates is wild
i care enough to enter your birthday into contacts, that's the max unless i'm living with you.
I try to notice it once, even if I miss it, and then save it to my contact for that person, and then enable birthdays on your calendar. It's not overwhelming, the only people who show up are the ones you've taken time to notice and save.

FB birthdays are so hollow. I don't catch everyone, but the important people are saved in my calendar. They really appreciate a direct text.
Enter the information once and forget 👍

Bothy parents text me when one of my immediate and extended family birthdays are happening 😂
