Birthdays

Post Reply New Topic

Birthdays are usually just like any other day for me
Nothing unusual happens since i dont have friends
I am estranged from my birth family so neither they call up or wish
one of my office colleagues birthday i saw that all her friends were making a album for her
it was a hand painted album with her photos
they also framed a huge photo of her
apart from that there was a huge party at her house..............
when i see NT's birthday celebrations i feel so odd

I know how u feel. I hate my birthday! I don`t want parties, but I like getting money!

My mom has never understood that I don't want anything for my birthday. Getting money is always good though.

I have a whole rant in my diary from my 21st birthday because I didn't want to go get drunk. (If my birthday is about me, then why can't I do what I want?)

I agree about the 21st birthday thing! My brother and sister in-law bought me chardonnay for my 21st b-day and I wanted to cry I got so pissed! I said I`m not gonna drink! And I asked if they bought that for me or just found it in the house, and my sister in-law said, "ur 21 we bought it for u!" And my brother wanted me to drink it! I didn`t drink it! I just felt bad because they wasted their money on it and also gave me $50! I HATED turning 21 because of the fear of people wanting me to drink! Plus I have isssues growing up and I refuse to, which is another reason I hate my birthdays!

I like getting money, but everything else about birthdays sucks.

I'm not going to lie, I love my birthday. And no I don't even do anything for them. The last few I just went to the shops in the city (Portsmouth) with my mum to buy things that weren't / aren't available in the local shops.

I agree about the whole 'not wanting to drink' thing. My Dad was pestering me to order alcohol with my meal when we went to a restaurant just because I was old enough, but Jesus, I just wanted coca cola!

I'm not just indifferent to my birthday, I dislike it, i feel uncomfortable receiving gifts & the general attention that people give me.

Another thing I hate is birthday phone calls! I hate being fussed over and being the center of attention!

More and more I have started to dislike my birthday. As a kid it was more exciting I guess, but now I just get frustrated with it all. I really wish my parents would stop giving me gifts, for years and years I have just said "I don't want anything" which is the truth... I really don't want anything! My mom will just keep pestering me until I finally come up with something... I just don't get that at all, I really don't want gifts, its just an awkward tradition that someone came up with at some point in time.... why?

I can't stand the attention either, I don't need one day a year where people pretend to be best friends with me. Plus, everyone seems to want me to celebrate my birthday the way they would want to celebrate theirs... go get drunk at the bar.... no thank you (okay so I did want to do this on my 21st)! I hid my birthday on Facebook and now there are a total of approximately 7-10 people who actually know when my birthday is: sister, parents, 2 friends, 2 grandparents, an aunt or two... maybe. That has made my birthdays much more relaxing!

i hid my birthday too on facebook
i love getting presents, parties, gifts everything....but i hardly get any:((

I don't like presents. it puts in an awkward stance with the one who gave me a gift of that of returning the favor. I am not materialistic so I don't understand the need to gift. I love attention and having a good time but I can do that anytime not only on my birthday. Every living day is a meaningful day not just a birthday so meh I don't think much of birthdays.

My last birthday was rather depressing!
I'm not a big fan of birthdays.

Birthdays don't really mean much to me nowadays its just like any other day.

My birthday represents a landmark of another year that I haven't done and had experiences of my peers like having a relationship or intimate relationship-I don't drink so that landmark birthday was uneventful and I do not have any friends to celebrate with-it's just a reminder or me being a nothing-one year my own parents forgot about my birthday and didnt realize it for about a week-and ironically I can remember everybodies birthday-well thats for another reason I am very sure-my aspie memory for dates and events

i like to receive presents and gifts
and dont like to buy and give anything to anybody
guess im too materialistic and greedy
im kind of attention seeker too...

I hate my birthday. It's a meaningless day to me, but everyone around me makes a big deal out of it. And they give me a bunch of gifts I don't want and didn't ask for, and I have to fake enthusiasm when opening them. It's almost as bad as Christmas and the birthdays of others. Those are the worst, because I'm unemployed and have no income of my own, so my family puts my name on gifts they give to others, and the people receiving them thank me, even though they know damn well that I didn't buy it. I would leap into a swimming pool filled with moose piss if it meant being able to just skip these days.
