It’s my 31st Birthday today and I feel so sad :( how can I cheer myself up?

Question

Does anyone else hate birthday?

AmandaYVR · Accepted Answer

Yeah I don't like them. I wish they'd pass unnoticed, personally. I would ignore it if I were you.

But if you want to celebrate it, maybe bake yourself something special/new? (Do not blow out some candles by yourself though - that would be depressing!)

Watch a new or favourite movie?
You can gag, and just avoid all negativity for a whole day. Don't click on anything but light and fun stuff.

Call a friend, or someone you've been wanting to get closer to, or haven't spoken with in a while, and don't tell them it's your birthday, just have a nice conversation with them. Focus on them for a bit. Sometimes that is better than focusing on oneself.

Happy Birthday @moonnieve!

ZackBan · Accepted Answer

This is a feeling I've come to be an expert with. I'm always depressed on my birthday.

First Happy birthday. Hope you have many many more in happier times.

Now I don't know the immediate details of why you're sad, like are you alone or aren't you having cake at all maybe.

But I want you to take a long look at yourself in the mirror and just appreciate that even though you're 31 you don't look a day over 24 and you're still extremely beautiful and very smart to boot there's nothing that deserves to make you sad.

LEADFOOTboi · Answer

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Happy Birthday, Yeah I feel sad around my Birthday, So I know how you feel

Drowningkingfish · Answer

I dont hate it because of the small gifts but I dread having so many people in my family flock across to you and parents overrbear me with sappy embarrassing stuff like "I remember when you were just a little baby, your Xteen now". "It feels just like yesterday when you were waddling around or doing X". I don't like too much attention, so when a spotlight is placed on me for 18 hours of the day, it can get to be too much.

Lliam · Answer

I want to wish you a "happy" birthday, MoonNieve. You should be partying and having fun, celebrating your special day with friends and family instead of isolating and feeling sad because of this scamdemic bullshit. The world became a brighter place when you entered it 31 years ago. Keep shining. <3

roxy_362 · Answer

Hey honey, it was my birthday too! Have a happy one! I don't mean to sound cheesy or overbearing, but I hope you'll find a way to see the good things in your life, and become happier. Because there are millions who are in a worse situation, and we're fortunate just by being healthy in our birthday!

Best wishes,

JPrez · Answer

Happy Birthday! Here’s something that should help. You have your whole life in front of you. At your age, you still in your prime and may be for a good while if you have good genes. You should also be at a point where your confidence and understanding of life is light years from your younger years. Don’t squander it with depression but instead give thanks for where you are and be optimistic about where you’re headed. You only have one life so celebrate!

Bandita · Answer

Happy birthday! There's nothing like doing stuff. I bought a camera, I love photography. You can do something like that. Anything from videogames to playing guitar or taking care of plants. It's very helpful when you are so distracted that you forget about being sad in the first place.

Sentimental_Stoic · Answer

Happy Birthday 🎉🎉🎂🎂🎈🎈
You got so many wishes here, and people telling u to hold on to the good stuff...
Nothing I can add up to that... But hey, find things that you enjoy by yourself, like I can listen to music all day, workout , stuff like that, anything mate...
It'll be awesome, it'll take effort , but it'll be awesome...
Good luck and cheers 👍🏼

pajamasam · Answer

I'm not big on birthdays either. I always get some cheesecake and sit up late and watch a good movie. One way I cheer myself up is I find a good friend to sit up late and chat with me late into the night. In person or in chat or whatever. I prefer my birthday to be shared one on one with someone really close to me. I have never enjoyed big birthday parties.

EmbraceThePain · Answer

I’m not too fond of my own birthday.  Happy birthday 🎁 🎉

broken_heart_at_48 · Answer

Not sure why exactly you don't like your birthday I mean if you're tripping on getting older you've got nothing to worry about you don't look a day over 21 and I can't believe some guy isn't doing all he can to make every day for you a happy and amazing day

OceanMelon · Answer

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

It’s my 31st Birthday today and I feel so sad :( how can I cheer myself up?

Since its your feeling sad on your birthday, I suggest getting a bucket of ice cream/ cake/cookies/ etc, and Bing watch series or watch some movies you've been wanting to watch. Or you can do whatever you want really, I was just giving a suggestion.

Also, no, I don't hate my Birthday, I just forget its my Birthday.

farhaan7part2 · Answer

Piteka5 · Answer

First of all, happy birthday to you. Things can be rough nowadays but this situation is already improving, it always will. Life has ups and downs but if you trace a line straight from start to finish, it will always go up. I hope you get happier soon, do something you love, listen to some whacky music for laughs or watch some comedy

888theGreat · Answer

You are 31 , not 21 ? I can't believe it. Did the kiddos make you a cake? Too bad I am not close , I could come and do a comedy routine.

The 1st part of fixing a problem is identifying it & its causal-factors: So, WHY are you sad? The more well-defined a problem, the closer its solution is.

scooogy · Answer

I know how you feel. I remember I think my 27th birthday, I decided to spend it alone taking a walk at the beach. I've received some birthday greetings on facebook, thinking of other people celebrating their with true friends, which I didn't really have due to university with people coming and going. This is why I told myself that going to a cafe ordering a cake sitting there alone would probably be the saddest moment of my life.

ThrowawayEverything · Answer

First of all, Happy Birthday.
Keep your phone away, take some time for yourself and think about the things that would really make you happy, could be hobbies, could be trying something new, or cooking, etc. Find a few of them that you can do indoors, and spend your day indulging in that. Easy peasy

Rob17792 · Answer

Happy Birthday. You wanna talk about a sad birthday imagine having your 41st birthday and no one says happy birthday let alone gives you a birthday card. And people forget it was your birthday. And last year they kiss your ass to make up for their shitty behavior the year before. Which is why I been trying to make sure the love of my life D. has a special and happy birthday each year. So she never has to go through the same shittiness I go through each year.

Jjpayne · Answer

Well! Happy birthday!!! I'd say make a fun birthday video for others and post it on the short video thing you were doing. Make a project out of it and silently make it your video but do it for others bdays :)
