Eh, I dont really care too much about my birthdays anymore and I don't care to make a big deal about them, last time I was super excited for my birthday was when I was like 12 or 13 or something, but now I don't really care that much. My mom still does something nice for me but I don't really have a massive party or anything cause I'm just not interested in throwing one.
Yeah I try to! Some irl things can make birthdays a bit more tricky, but I see it as an excuse to do something nice, whether it be seeing friends or having some nice food. I normally don't do anything too extravagant though.
I don't really look forward to birthdays anymore. I don't like getting older but at the same time I guess I should be glad that I'm still alive and kicking. If anything it's a good excuse to eat something yummy at least
yes!! i used to not like celebrating my bday due to personal reasons, but over the years i've come to terms with how i want to celebrate it ^^ love spending birthdays w family and my bf! i'd rather not have parties because large-scale events absolutely exhaust me.
im planning early for next year since my US friends are flying back here and want to visit my hometown for my birthday!! which means uh i need to learn how to drive LMAO
Kind of? My birthday has never really been all that big or special, not even when I was a kid and especially not now that I'm grown up. I usually just get money from a couple relatives, get to choose what my parents and I have for dinner, and ask that my parents don't get into an argument or get mad over anything stupid for the day. Sometimes they oblige, sometimes they don't. This year they did not LOL
I receive plenty of birthday wishes from my amazing friends here as well, and as sad as this is going to sound... that's usually the highlight of my birthday LOL. Or at least it has been my past 2 birthdays. I wish my birthday was more special or I felt like it mattered more to the people in my personal life, but.
No, and I'd like for everyone else to leave me alone about it, but it never really works. There's nothing special about the date for me, all I need is some peace and quiet.
Yeah, somewhat. I usually spend it with my family though with my health declining I never left the house last time and I am not sure if I will for my next one, either. It's okay, I can do things at home.
I don't do anything really big for my birthday since my family is more chill. But it's always recognized and I receive things like gifts and cards which I think counts as celebrating, even though it's not a typical party like other people might do.
Always but my parents or sisters seem to plan it for me naturally since I don't really care what we do majority of the time with my family. I have a seperate day with my friends that I/we do plan, usually dinner is the norm
i am 1000% a birthday lover. whether it be mine or others', birthdays are SO important to me! i love showing people how much i love and appreciate them, and it's always fun to get to celebrate myself too. i'm so lucky to have a partner that also loves birthdays, and it brings me so much joy that we both like to go all out for each other every year!
I always celebrate my birthday. It's always with just my immediate family though. I think I had a combined birthday with some friends who were also born in January at a roller rink a few times, but it was low-key and just our immediate families. My siblings always visit for my birthday, so that's fun. I don't get to see them much otherwise.
It's just another day to me. However, my bf and my friends make a huge deal about it! I get gifts, cake, people take me out places, etc. Not to mention all the messages I get from people
I try to, but usually family/friends are too busy so that just leaves me celebrating alone. Which is kind of pathetic lmao so I don't bother. I might make myself a cake or get a nice meal, but it's whatever. This year I celebrated by clearing out my vegetable garden and destroyed my grape trellis. It was just getting way too overgrown and being a tangled mess. I always tell myself next year will be different, but it just grows unhinged. So I ripped them all out. It was such a mess though.
I celebrate my birthday but it isn't like a huge party, I tend to just go to dinner with my mom or my close friends. I may do something on my birthday like go to a show or maybe a small vacation (but that is just my mom and I for that.) It's not a huge deal anymore compared to what it was like back in my early 20s (like the last time it was a big deal was 21) and under.
