Do you care about celebrating birthdays much or no? Personally, I don’t care much about celebrating birthdays.
I’ll be 43 soon.
I really don’t give a fuck about birthdays anymore
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.
I’m running low on reasons to go outside.
no

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.
My own, not so much. But I love celebrating other peoples’ birthdays.
Same. I care much for my wife’s, but not at all for mine.
Yeah it always feels awkward getting people to celebrate me. Like “hey guys lets have a party where you give me gifts and celebrate my existence”. Seems weirdly presumptuous
Yeah, there’s a certain age after which you kinda stop caring about your own birthday.
That certain age for me was 13
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’ve never cared about birthdays or most holidays. The people around me do though, so I always celebrate.
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 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.
If you don’t want to celebrate your birthday, you can take the day to celebrate your mom. She’s the one who did all the work, after all. And I think pushing an entire human being out of your birth canal is worthy of some recognition.
Oh, I try keeping my friends away from her.
You don’t have to get your friends involved, you can just do something nice for her. Just pretend that its Mothers Day or something
Her birthday is close enough.
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.
Birthdays are for children and 100 year olds
