Do you like birthdays?

[Anonymous]

If I'm being honest, I hate my birthday. If it weren't for this site I probably wouldn't even remember how old I am.

They just remind me how lonely I was when I was a kid and how helplessly misunderstood I felt.

People told me I was delusional and dumb. But things kept going my way which really started to feel like maybe they were right somehow.

Maybe my optimism is stupid, everyone hates everything I stand for and believe in. Maybe I never stopped being alone.

Some people bring a lot of warmth and some people I never feel it if they try. I don't want to hate them. But when people reach out on this day and dissappear... I have more respect for the people who just hit me up when they need something.

And then everything today just feels fake. Like flakes in a snowglobe.

Is it your birthday? I'm sorry for what you went through. I really hope you make some good friends who will appreciate you and not put you down like others did in your life.

I don't like my birthday either but I am excited for birthdays of people who are close to me. Because I like making them feel special on their day.

Thanks, that means a lot right now

You're most welcome. It's the least I could do. I know how you feel. I've gone through something similar. I had some toxic people in my life. I eventually cut them out of my life and became very careful whom I get close to as people can hurt you only if they matter to you. It was my birthday 3 days ago. I didn't feel so great either while thinking about how my many birthdays went and how awful some people were in my life. It sucks but you can always turn your life around.

Happy Birthday/ Belated Happy Birthday. I hope you'll be happy and smiling on next your birthday. Take care!

As long as I am not reminded that I am getting older, I don't mind my own birthday.

On the other hand, I like family birthdays as it usually means that we will get together on a given week-end and celebrate and reminisce about the "good old days".

I just celebrated my mom's birthday lately and I had great fun.

However, I seldom attend friends' or acquaintances' birthday parties because they tend to degenerate because of the involvement of alcohol. It appears that people are unable to have fun without alcohold and I hate when people misbehave and are intoxicated.

I like my Birthday, I always get gifts, and a Birthday cake.

Of course, now, when I'm getting older... let's just say that I don't like that part,

I was often misunderstood as a kid too, I know how you feel.

Ah, birthdays can be a bit dramatic, right? 🎂 But let me sprinkle some confetti on your cloudy thoughts. Birthdays are more about reflecting on how much you've grown than on the past. It's okay to feel misunderstood, but don't let those ghosts haunt today. Chase away your blues with a little self-love, and maybe treat yourself to something special. You're absolutely not alone in feeling this way, trust me. Let's trade ghosting for glowing; you deserve to be celebrated! 🎉

I like my birthday because I like my own company and enjoy celebrating myself, even if no one else around me does.
