Do you care about celebrating birthdays much or no? Personally, I don’t care much about celebrating birthdays.
I’m running low on reasons to go outside.
no
I like to celebrate other peoples birthdays and see them happy and show my appreciation for them but I don’t really care about mine much
I’ve never cared about birthdays or most holidays. The people around me do though, so I always celebrate.
I kind of dread people celebrating me, usually in part because the times around that celebration are busy and stressful for me so I can do the performative gratitude that people expect when it happens.
Then it devolves into conversations of what is wrong with you (why are you broken) or what is wrong with this (why do you hate me).
Yeah, there’s a certain age after which you kinda stop caring about your own birthday.
That certain age for me was 13
Not since my late 20s. But it’s nice to have a day to celebrate yourself, we all deserve it, but it can be any day you feel like pampering yourself.
My own, not so much. But I love celebrating other peoples’ birthdays.
Same. I care much for my wife’s, but not at all for mine.
Yeah it always feels awkward getting people to celebrate me. Like “hey guys lets have a party where you give me gifts and celebrate my existence”. Seems weirdly presumptuous
If you don’t want to celebrate your birthday, you can take the day to celebrate your mom. She’s the one who did all the work, after all. And I think pushing an entire human being out of your birth canal is worthy of some recognition.
Oh, I try keeping my friends away from her.
You don’t have to get your friends involved, you can just do something nice for her. Just pretend that its Mothers Day or something
Her birthday is close enough.
not at all. I don’t even know how old I am most of the time. I have to do math every time.
