In a way, yeah it's a good thing, but in another, bad. Reason I say this is, well they did not pay attention to you and also, I hate when people ask me how it feels to turn the age I was, like my 21st here a few months ago, my sister who is almost 23 called me on my bday, asked, "so hows it feel to be 21" I said, "Sis, you should know this by now, it's no different" she says, "Yeah I know."
At least you had friends there, heck on my bday all I got is family there anymore most of the time, my oldest sister (who's bday is the day after mine she is 33 now) my dad (his bday is after my oldest sister's) my mom and my sister's kids. At my high school grad party 3 of my friends showed up to it, then after a while they all had to leave cuz we had to get ready for graduation, after that I went to my best friend's house and we just watched TV until like 1:30 in the morning then I went home.
