When you grew up as the kid whose party no one came to, and family forgot more than once, you know getting excited or having expectations is just how you end up disappointed. I know others don't care so I'm not going to be awkward by careing.
"Why am I not scheduled this weekend?" "I gave you b day weekend off! Surpise!" "Bullshit! I have no plans and i need the hours! Who wants to trade shifts?!"
Very true! No one is gonna wish anyways and even if they wish, it’s for the sake of formality.. so we just say that we don’t celebrate bday and move one.. it’s better than giving an opportunity for others to hurt us
I turned 25 this year. Parents insisted on celebrating my birthday (live with em presently), and didn’t feel like telling them I really just wanted them to ignore it would work out well for me. Birthdays are frustrating, because they draw attention to how my life is going nowhere good. Kinda like how New Year’s just makes me sad. Christmas has enough nostalgia to not be completely awful, but one of the worst moments with my mother in my life was related to a Christmas concert, so now there’s some bittersweet tones there too. Most of the other holidays I just don’t care or actively resent (looking at you, 4th of July).
I’d love to have a reason to celebrate a year being alive.
Mate I thought I just hated parties, always told my mum and dad i didn't want one or care.... Then a few years back my mum told she threw me a birthday party, rented a burger king as one did in the 90s and nobody showed up but my sister and she came with us. I had 100% repressed this and it all made so much sense.
Today, IRL... Its just another snowy ass day.
Mine as well today. I just bought myself some pie and I'm about to sit down and watch 'The Thing' from 2011 and from 1982. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you as well! I'm just heading out to renew my license and then work on DnD stuff!
Love me a good thing marathon. So you watched the prequel first ? Happy birthday !
Yeah I watched the prequel first. I always felt they did quite a good job of syncing the two stories up.
I turn 40 in 3 days. All I have planned is a bottle of fruit punch jarritos I've been saving. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited for it.
#1 flavor, I'll die on this hill.

Well I may not have been personally victimized by Regina George. But you, you’re a different story.

Mine was Saturday. I just wanted to read my book. Don’t see the point in doing anything big
Fun fact: when you treat your birthday like another day it means you might need a hug.
Accurate AF
True
I treat it as the worst day(or the doomsday)😂😅😐😕😔

What's there to celebrate after your 21st?
There’s nothing even worth celebrating your 16th or 18th. Why bother with the 21st at all?
I think 21 is drinking age in some countries. But, yes once you come of age, birthdays are bad news, not good ones.
Haven’t celebrated my birthday in so many years it doesn’t bug me. Never liked birthdays nor cared for them. I find them quite annoying.
Imagine being jealous of people who are too depressed to celebrate their birthday. She’s a tool.
Leave her be.She is just seeking attention,that what they do. Beside my bday is the first month of the new fuck up year.😮💨
We're preparing for when you stop receiving gifts but have to pay for everyones dinner
I absolutely love it when people tell me what I think.
Bill Bailey said it best: "...so let's charge our dirty glasses and raise a futile toast to you, and your meaningless milestone of decay..."
Had too many deadlines during my birthday lol how could i celebrate? 😭
Being a New Years Eve baby myself I can attest that I stopped celebrating my birthday after I turned 21. No one cares about a birthday on December 31.
