    Default Am I the only person who hates celebrating their birthday?

    As the title states, am I alone on this that I hate celebrating my birthday? In my honest opinion its just not that special of a day and to have a whole day devoted to me/celebrated seems so arrogant. Plus getting older is not something I would want to celebrate. Sure there was a time when I wanted to be 21 (to have all the perks of an adult...I dont care to drink/smoke/etc.) but those are years gone by now. This January 11th I will be 26, meh just another day. Its awkward to me when friends/family call to wish me a happy birthday...I appreciate the gesture dont get me wrong but whatever. Anyone else feel this way?

    Most of my birthdays have been awful. I'm pretty indifferent about them in general, but my SO hates his. He says it's the one day he feels obligated to talk to all the people he otherwise happily ignores. This past one, I had to threaten to not let him have tater tots and play video games for dinner until he would at least acknowledge there was a reason I should be merciful.

    Birthdays are dumb and I always ignore mine. I also hate the Facebook "tradition" of a thousand wall posts on someone's birthday, so I disable posting on my page for that day.

    Totally agree. I've made a tradition of always going on holiday somewhere for my birthday mainly so I can avoid the whole party and big fuss about aging (whoop-de-do, I'm mortal and can age like everyone else!) and usually 1 to 4 friends join me if they can so it's nice and chilled.

    One of my best friend's once said "Throwing yourself a birthday party is like masturbating in the mirror while all your friends watch"

    I just like to do something relaxing and low key.

    I am totally like you. I feel like such a narcissist on my bday. I try to never celebrate it.

    However, my son and I have birthdays a week apart. When he turns 21, I turn 40. I will have a huge bash for the both of us then.
