Do you care about celebrating birthdays much or no? Personally, I don’t care much about celebrating birthdays.

        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

    Yeah, there’s a certain age after which you kinda stop caring about your own birthday.

    I’ve never cared about birthdays or most holidays. The people around me do though, so I always celebrate.

    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.

    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).

    I don’t need to celebrate too much, but taking the day off work and going out for dinner somewhere nice is something I like to do.

    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.

    I like to keep to the same routine when possible. Birthdays and holidays interrupt that. No good. I can’t do much for holidays, but since my birthday is supposed to be my day, i can demand this from everyone around me.

    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
