    My own, not so much. But I love celebrating other peoples’ birthdays.

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

        Exactly. Most men tend to stop celebrating their birthdays in their early teens.

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

    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.

    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

      Doesn’t it seem so selfish? If OTHERS want to celebrate MY birthday that’s nice and up to them, but I’ve always felt weird inviting my friends to MY OWN BIRTHDAY party jfc. XD

        I do secretly cringe a bit when someone forces everyone to wish them a happy birthday, it really does feel selfish. I guess it is a day about the person but have some modesty, yeesh

    not at all. I don’t even know how old I am most of the time. I have to do math every time I need to know.

    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.

    Not mine* but I do celebrate my partners birthday and they make me celebrate mine at least a little
