am I the only one who feels slightly resentful towards them?

I quit celebrating mine quite some time ago. I try to leave town or be working on my birthday just in case someone gets some crazy idea that I need to celebrate. Resentful? Not really. Because, you know, it beats the alternative.
Luckily for me, my B-day usually falls on Thanksgiving weekend (or there abouts) so everyone is too busy to pay any attention to that date.My mom will usually call and talk about my birth story, but that is more for her than it is for my benefit.
I let people know that if they must get me something for my birthday, that I really want a donation made in my name to Habitat for Humanity or to the local food bank.

I feel resentful for people who act like their birthday is the second coming of Christ, yes. Who let you know what they want without you asking, and its usually something outrageous like a DVD player. I usually say "WAIT....what'd you get me for my bday again?" The answer is always nothing.
Now that I have lived beyond the age when my father died, I am just glad each time it rolls around to notice that I am still here.
i hate mine its december 23. i get combined presents, and no one wants to hang out on ym birthday. last year i sat home alone all day and no one came and hung out.
I think it's kind of stupid that we celebrate birthdays by giving people presents. If anything, it should be like a second mother's day. I haven't had a birthday celebration since I was 12. I never ask for anything either, although last year my mother did give me a scarf.
"Life and death, energy and peace. If I stop today it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul, it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I've walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, in it, and above."

Yeah, birthdays should be a day for the mother. You didn't do a damn thing to arrive on your birthday so you shouldn't be rewarded.

I fucking hate them. I always have. But the last straw was when my family held my grandmother's funeral on my birthday at age 15. After that there is just no question that I hate them.




i refuse to celebrate my birthday. i hate the yearly reminder that i'm another year older and STILL haven't done anything amazing and wildly successful with my life. i hate being ordinary and average, and my birthday just reminds me that another year has gone by and i still am just average.

My best friend's birthday IS xmas ... her family is very very religious and takes xmas very seriously and she ends up getting screwed over every year as far as presents and birthday phone calls go.
As for me ... I hate my bday. I have several issues with it and I hate it tremendously.

Birthdays were fun as a kid, but now they just make me notice who remembers to call/email and who doesn't.
Plus, I'm shitty at remembering other people's birthdays, and that makes me feel bad.
