I would've thought less of you, certainly, but I would have written it down privately instead of saying so.
I've never met a more high-strung set of people, which I know sounds astoundingly judgemental coming from me. Well. Not your brother. I suspect he could be strung a little higher.
That's what you get for reminding the Queen Party Planner about your birthday. I'd offer to provide a distraction if you want to escape, but I rather think your suffering could be entertaining.
Don't flatter yourself. I don't need to be mad at you to enjoy seeing you forced to endure a party in your honour. Stressful stimuli tends to reveal new information.
I think those do more to make the person apologizing feel better.
I'm Venmoing you $20. Order a better drink on me, and maybe try to do something less miserable than messaging your ex in a Cheesecake Factory on your birthday.

He could be, but when he snaps, he snaps.

And how would you describe the mood at the table? Shouting? Sulking? Silence? Strained small talk?
DM 6/6, evening
Mopey. Mostly quiet. He's also on his phone.

I'm looking at it now. Did you know it's been 174 days since[...]This can't be how you imagined your birthday going.
DM 6/6, evening
[...] I'd say at least I avoided being the center of attention, but I still have to make it through Annie's thing.
