Do you actually enjoy celebrating your birthday, or feel pressured to?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I don't really like to celebrate mine. I would never tell anyone this but I usually feel kinda guilt tripped into it because what want to do is stay home and be far away from everyone for a day.

But what I actually ended up doing the past couple days was running around for 48 hours straight trying to make sure I'm making all these people happy... Maybe it would be easier if I just planned something next year 🤔

[Laws-Of-Existence]

It's like any holiday. Just an excuse to do what you want to do anyway. ㅤ

Denying this simplicity and trying to find something magical is exactly what makes that day look like a middle finger.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Soooo I'm right and everyone else is an asshole? I can live with that

[Laws-Of-Existence]

I think you interpreted my opinion differently than i meant. Nobody is an asshole. Just do what you enjoy doing.

Not a big fan sinc eevery year I seem to get older.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

It should be a very solemn day if anything.

Thanks for the MHO😎

Don’t really enjoy it but I don’t mind it either, as long as there are no surprises. I hate surprises.

[queenofcardio]

Sometimes I forget about it until someone brings it up.

I don't celebrate it

[Telekinetic-Potato]

People keep telling me how old I'm turning and I'm like "I am?" 😂

[Chazmatazz269]

I always do my own thing for my birthday because everyone else is busy celebrating a holiday.
Even if anyone remembered me on my birthday, i certainly wouldn’t let them guilt me into doing something that i don’t want to do.

I'm not one to celebrate my birthdays with parties...

as a kid, I hated it... lol

nowadays, I don't mind it though... some of my friends/family, they still like to celebrate a little bit of it, and I am fine with that too

[strateguy632]

at your age a birthday is still happy. but mine i need comfort! 😔 just meet with a friend at a nice cafe to chat. no big party.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

That's what I wish it was more like!

[lightbulb27]

not really, I have at times but not a necessity. I'm glad I'm here but I'd rather live that others around me are glad I'm here.

[Agape93]

Neither. It's a day others enjoy, I dont care one way or another.

[Jersey2]

Nah, it is mostly just another day. Ot is an excuse to go to dinner and share some smiles though.
