WE NEED THIS FOR THE INTROVERTS. YES

Shucks... I actually do this

Yeah but 15 minutes of existential dread and anxiety for absolutely no reason

I wish I wasn't speaking from firsthand experience when I said this is 100% accurate. Also I was irrationally angry all the time and kept snarling at people over nothing.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT WHEN I SAW IT YESSS

I don't want people to know it's my Bday

I stopped wanting to celebrate my birthday a few years ago, though I'm not sure why.

Exactly. It's more for your kids(if you have any). I dread even the thought of anyone mentioning it.

Some people have reasons to why they treat it like a normal day, how about when get were a child, everyone was on holiday and weren't able to attend their birthday. Such as Christmas day...also I don't want people to know it's my birthday (it's not right now) but it's embarrassing for some reason

i dont want people to sing happy birthday but i also want to be aknowlaged

happy late birthday!!!!

The key to a good birthday? Low expectations. Thanks Phil Dunphy 👍

(Doesn't exactly fit the topic, but:) Or they simply refuse to give a day a certain meaning just because a calendar system claims that a certain date repeats itself after 365 days. 😉

I don't mention my bd and no one else does. I acknowledge that I'm not important to anyone. So yeah, its just another day, one of 7 weekly.

More matured?! That sentence structure is very bothersome!

I always hated it when people would throw a party for me. It's nice because it shows that they care, but just say Happy Birthday and we'll move on. That's it. Just say Happy Birthday, no singing, no parties, no presents. Just acknowledge me and that's all.

Better than people who have to celebrate and be the center of attention for the entire month!

Sucks Big Time to be Born on Christmas

... I actively try to forget now... every morning when I wake up with joint pain reminds me JUST FINE how old I am.

I'm actually anticipating my next birthday, for obvious reasons: I'm 69.

I make a huge deal out of my birthday every year. Like, I start reminding people a month before, 1 week before I make a fb-post about it, the day before I remind people again. It hasn't always been a thing for me, but 9 years ago I decided to end my life, so now I celebrate to remind myself that I survived. I survived hell.

Doesn't mean it shouldn't be a Special Day for you to be miserable on. It's a day to celebrate your misery.

I really hate birthdays, especially little kids birthdays where the Mom's go crazy trying to make everything perfect!

I go big on birthdays. Not necessarily gifts, but mote making the day all about that person. Those who make a fuss that they don't want a fuss, are usually the ones who REALLY DO want people to make a big deal out of it.

Just an excuse for me to eat a bunch of food and not be judged.

What on earth is "serotonin"??

You know what, that sounds pretty healthy of him, you go random dude

for me it;s more like "why? I'm a piece of s**t that deserves the abuse!"

RECOVERING from trauma makes you stronger, not the trauma itself.

can relate

I hate that you're right too

Reminding yourself that homicide is a felony

Yeah, I've had quite enough of character development myself.

Plot twist: Crisis Counselor is just the name of the person coming in to congratulate you on your AMAZING test score.

Bit sad innit.

And not all of us want or like to hear voices on a phone. Even without hearing issues, I prefer text messages.

Mine's like trying to eat a frozen bowl of soup. Cold and my teeth hurt.

... or you're like me and you just really like the show.

But the fact that you're still here at all is good. It means you're stronger and more resilient than you think you are.

I'll drink to that. 🍻

Epitome of me-ness. I'm just sad

ive found my new idol

*cough* BP

Apparently fear of failure is the worst form of perfectionism. I didn't know it. But I'm a perfectionis

same and my therapist keeps saying to be present but like have you seen the world I’m supposed to be present in

I'm on here and I don't like it

AND you're s**t at improv

humanity is fücked up

YES BECAUSE I GREW UP ACADEMICALLY GIFTED AND I AM THE FIRST EXAMPLE

Maybe they do, and you just can't remember.

And I'm the basic NPC in everyone's story.

Nothing makes me cry out of nowhere more than Van Gogh related stuff

Thanos: (takes notes)

If you're going to be pessimistic, at least let yourself have fun with being pessimistic.
