Just Venting

Different people have different ways of showing love. Some people mostly use touch (like hugging, too! ), some people talk, some are more likely to help you fix your car or your faucet. And then there are people who show love by setting up cute birthday parties, personalized presents, and stuff like that. They are trying to show their love, and they honestly don't understand that you don't see it like that.

There are no real solutions, are there?

They are just trying to tell you that they love you. I understand your wishes but some people are never going to get that because to them a birthday means something - usually good. I could care less too, but I care less one way or the other. If I am thrown a party I have a good time and say thank you because someone thought I was worth their time and effort. If I get nothing, that is ok too. I know I am loved by my friends and family and it is just another day.
