Do you guys actually like celebrating your birthday? Because it got old for me

I guess under the age of 18 it's like a big deal but like in adulthood it's like a simple thing maybe go to a restaurant with your friends or family, a shopping splurge, idk.

I like birthday still! It is nth special, but it is nice. I just spent time with family and go out with best friends.

I like birthday I like to make it special for me

I got bored of it around the same time as you, now it's just another day for me. I don't particularly hate getting older though

i don't really care. i just like eating cake

Quote from cherryshiii

restaurants are closed and they won't open until we move into the next phase which won't be for a while depending on the amount of covid cases. i'm not the biggest shopping guru but my mum and me can definetely try it out. thanks

Good point lol
<- Me

I like getting gifts. I also love eating cake and the whole festive atmosphere of it

It's like a mini Christmas just for me

Birthdays are just another day for me, another year of getting older. I’ll be 53 in August and sometimes feel it.

I like to celebrate but with something simple, like having a meal with close friends and/or family. Perhaps even go somewhere cool.

I like my birthday because it's kinda like a "me day". I know millions of people celebrate theirs just like me, but somehow I feel it's special haha

But yeah, even I have to admit things used to be more "magical" when I was younger. But that's life too, as you get older, depending on who you are, some celebrations just kinda lose it's edge.

no, the only thing I do is to eat cake

Yes, I do. Primary reason being that I love attention (bad trait I know. I used to CRAVE it before but now I behave myself) so much that on my eleventh birthday, I twisted someone's words to make it look like they'd called me stupid so I had a reason to cry. Why I wanted to cry? Someone had celebrated their birthday a bit earlier and they had an actual reason to cry and I saw the way everyone flocked to them and basically gave them attention.

But petty childhood aside, I enjoy birthdays because I use the occasion of me getting a year older to start out again with a clean slate on a lot of things, and get rid of old habits. Also I really love the company of my family and friends

I never really celebrated my birthday, still don't. But I remember on my seventh birthday my grandparents bought me a cake and I was like super happy lol. So that was the only time I really celebrated my birthday but it was super memorable

I usually got clubbing with my closest friends and i like it because i get free drinks

And i like the free drink from starbucks but that’s it. I don’t hate it but is not a big deal either

i have never ever had a birthday party in my 36 years of existence but it was by choice so its all good :P

I like turning older, nice to know I'm not dead yet I suppose but I don't celebrate it.

It's kinda a normal day really for me. Last one I slept through so yeah...

I've celebrated at milstone and random ages, 1, 10, 16...19...and 30...so far as I remember.

Im going sleep through my 32nd so that pretty normal.. Probably Won't celebrate til 40 I suppose.. Sticking to decades, will give my old lady self something to do lol

i started not liking turning older since 14-15, which is also when I started becoming older than all my fav fictional characters (i remember at the time i was obsessed with Pandora Hearts and 07GHOST hahah)

I went through an age crisis because of that (at freaking 15 lol, and it hit me quite hard too)

Then hated it for years

When i reached 20 i started chilling out about it

Mostly because my twin stopped comming home and ruin it

My parents started buying stuff i liked to eat and so that made me happy (before i had to bend to every wish my twin had, and I hated going out to eat)

Rn i dont have much of an opinion about it, although it feels forced again because of my university friends/housemates and I dont really enjoy it that much

I would rather just be told happy birthday and that's it

I just see no point on doing more because most of the time i won't enjoy the special food, the probability of them getting me a present i feel excided about are 0, i don't like going out to eat and i don't drink so....

I just make myself happy by ordering stuff/books and asking the seller to wrap it up even if the package comes late

ehh... its alright.

I don't think birthdays are exciting.

It's just another day, i mean we grow older daily why does this day matter more than others. Just enjoy your life.

Be happy that you can grow older, while so many people can't.

yess I still like celebrating my birthday

It's stressful.

Irl I don't even tell people when my birthday is anymore so they can't call me or mention it at work. I dislike attention and when it's my birthday, people suddenly pay way too much attention to me. I panic days in advance, wondering how to prevent people from calling me without inadvertently causing offense...

No. It's a regular day for me. I actually dislike being greeted and I really don't like throwing a party although I do understand when friends and acquaintances do throw out one and try to enjoy it.

Not really, I see it as another day to me. The only thing I probably like is really just having a piece of cake and that's it.

I do. I feel special since a month leading up to my b'day since there's always these advertisements & stuff since a month ahead if my b'day (womens day)

No, I don’t like it when it’s my birthday. It just turns into a day of existential crisis for me lol. I just reflect on how many things I have yet to accomplish at my age and it sends me spiraling

yes I do

Just give me a cake all for myself and I'm happy, no need for celebration

As a kid:

• Mom made cake, salad, soup
• Friends came over
• I played children's party games
• I know when I invite my friends they feel guilty and invite me to their own birthday so this means double the amount of cakes to eat or even more cakes xD
• Having fun writting invite-cards for everyone
• Getting tons of gifts

As an dult:

• Nobody I know got time
• People who want to celebrate with me postpone it to a date where they have time or think they can spare some time
• People talk bullshit to me when seeing me for my birthday and annoy me with boring stories
• I mostly only get money so I know what to expect for my birthday
• I want people to give me the gifts and leave me alone cause sitting around without knowing what to do sucks but people asume when you turn older you like sitting around and listen to other people to talk, but no I don't like it

It's getting old for me too and I didn't even celebrate my birthday last year.

I hate it because it reminds me that I'm getting older and everything I think is terrible happens some time in my birth month or right before.

I like gifts but dislike aging.

I wouldn't like to have a party or get a ton of birthday wishes but it's nice when the popleclose to you take you somewhere or give you something for your b day.

I do coz I love gatherings. More foods and I get to be with my friends and family
