Does Anyone Else Hate Celebrating Their Birthdays? by CandyOps(m): 5:20pm On Apr 11, 2022 |
So today's my birthday and I've noticed I don't like 'celebrating' it. I turned off the usual Facebook birthday reminder so I don't get bugged and pressured to reply to hundreds of strangers or people I barely talk with Growing up we didn't really celebrate birthdays outside our small nuclear family. It's either we sang ourselves the Happy Birthday song and ate a small cake and that was it. I don't like being the centre of attention and don't like the fake enthusiasm and smiles I have to put up when a distant relative or old friend whom you only talk to once a year (prolly during Christmas) calls you out of the blues. As for throwing a party to celebrate it, phew! I'll prolly never do that... At least not in my next 3 lifetimes. I just can't knock off the feeling that it's just not worth the stress. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up celebrating it or its just me being introverted. I rather celebrate it with a few close friendsand family over dinner and drink than throw a party. Does anyone else feel the same way or am I just a weirdo? 13 Likes |

Me too, before now, I thought I was abnormal and crazy; I recently turned 20 and I didn't tell no one. My big cousin whom I squash with, was really surprised and starting thinking the other way because I didn't tell him that day was my birthday. Though I did, but didn't keep ringing it in everyone's ears. O² 1 Like |

Hmm. I think we April born fellas don't like attention. Reading through the comments here It's like y'all are a reflection of me. Maybe this horoscope stuff is real. What do they call us again? Aries? |

Have never celebrated it,never announced it and it means nothing to me. Brings issues from time to time with my dates cos they find it absurd that I don't acknowledge birthdays,theirs and mine. Just how I grew up,nothing else. 1 Like |

I only remember younger sister's birthday because she was born on Valentine's day and the birthday of any girl I date. I remembered my birthday this year though because I was having issues with my girlfriend. Other than that I don't remember anyone's birthday including myself nor do I celebrate to draw attention. I just do it low-key for the person or myself once those financial institutions remember me. Later in the day I will just sit down and drink one or two, eat fruits like a normal day but I know it's not an ordinary day. 1 Like |

I thought I was the only one having such mindset. I do sees my birthday as a normal day. I've so many friends who knows my birthday date off hand , maybe because I was a very popular personality in my society. This year is the first time I ever cut a cake for my birthday and have some pie and drinks given to few people , courtesy of my Ex-Girlfriend(genotype issue).. It seems we April born don't loves to celebrate birthday. 1 Like |
