What day is your birthday? How old will you be? Happy Early Birthday. I hope that this year will be different for you. Throw yourself a party. One year I did and it was awesome. Get yourself a cake, decorate your home/room, play your favorite movies, do a craft, and even buy yourself something nice. Wishing you well ❤️

Awesome, I’ll be 23 on May 27th! We are both May babies haha. I understand not being able to get through the day- like today I feel that way. What would you like to do for your birthday? Your birthday should be celebrated. I know it’s hard, but try to do something small for yourself to try and celebrate.

Me too!! ❤️ May is such a wonderful month. I say go for that special birthday photo session! You can get the balloons from a dollar store, where a dress/cute outfit you have in your closest or even go to a thrift store for it and take a couple pics! And maybe not next time you will be happy, hope for this time you will be. I have hope, you should too ❤️

Happy almost birthday ❤️ I relate to this hugely and actually mentioned it in my first post yesterday... My birthday is on New Year's and I have always felt it's an afterthought, or not a thought at all - meanwhile I feel I am always doing the most for friends have big parties and even trips for theirs. One thing I realized is a lot of these friends actually do the planning of their own parties and stuff, and actually take the initiative on their own to make it a big deal. I never really have the energy to make this effort, or I get scared not enough people will be able to or want to attend... But I bet if we both were to ask some friends and family to celebrate with us on our birthdays in some way, they would. It's hard to remember sometimes but we're more loved than we think - anxiety/depression tries to convince us otherwise. I don't know if this message is helpful at all but I just wanted you to know you're definitely not alone in feeling this way.

During my pandemic birthday last year I simply wanted to have a nice meal at home, but my roommate hung out looking miserable the whole time & deliberately didn't wish me happy birthday (until the next day, which was odd); he was clearly grumpy about the whole thing. Now, his birthday is coming up in a few weeks and he hasn't shut the fxck up about it. I really want to say, 'you didn't give a crap about my birthday so why do you expect me to care about yours?' He keeps asking for us to do extravagant things like get him lobster & sushi for his bday, but he did nothing for me or our other roommate. But, maybe that's *my* problem, & should be more confident to ask a couple friends to help celebrate me for just one damn day out of the year. Maybe our problem is we need to be more selfish? But then I feel kind of like a jerk when asking for anything. Just trying to have a good time & my roommate rolling his eyes at me made me feel ashamed for wanting to celebrate. I can't remember the last time I had a birthday that made me feel good. Sorry for rambling, I just get how you feel & wanted to commiserate. I hope you have a beautiful birthday, even if it's alone I hope you take time to treat yourself. xx

You deserve to be remembered and celebrated on your birthday. You are special and one of a kind because that is how God made you. Please remember your worth is not in someone else’s eyes. You are here and meant for a very special purpose. So, celebrate your uniqueness and have a very Happy Birthday. You obviously it. !God Bless you🙏😁

Happy Birthday Meme🥳🎉 Hope you enjoy your birthday! Its your special day to celebrate you! Go out and get yourself a massage and a mani and pedicure. The best gift that you can get is the gift of life😄 Life is beautiful and it’s what you make of it. You are the author of your life story. Make memories even if it means doing it by yourself. It’s nice to have all that extra birthday parties etc.. but but it’s ok to be alone sometimes. Remener you are lover🥰

Meh, it's not that uncommon. People are selfish by nature. I have a great birthday story for you. I turned 21 on the day of my brother's college graduation ceremony. I was forced to go to Waco, Tx. of all places & attend. Then we went to my brother's chosen restaurant and my relatives showered him with praise & presents & even my parents seemed to have forgotten (or just really didnt care) that it was my birthday. They certainly didnt care that it was a "special" birthday. I tried to escape by driving back up to my college, tho it was still a week or 2 before the semester started, but no one I knew was in town yet. I ended up driving to my best friend's house in Tool Tx. where she was more interested in talking about her boyfriend problems than celebrating anything about me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I feel like this too. My best friends never even wished me happy birthday. I knew them twenty years lol.

Happy birthday.

I think a birthday is personal anyway. You celebrate you. That you made it through last years struggles and that you are still here. People are not kind, usually self absorbed. Your birthday is for you and is so special
