So I don't even know how to really explain it. Easiest way to say it is that I hate my birthday. I dread it and it's painful.It makes it worse when people bring it up or try to celebrate it. I have no idea for the reason behind it.. i never had a bad birthday... I hate growing up.... it's miserable. But yet I'm so excited to get off on my own and make my own life. It's like getting a migraine you can't take anything for it cause nothing helps... there's people that are there that makes things easier and remind you that your not alone...but it doesn't make the pain stop.....I've spent my last 4 birthdays including today crying.... and the way i feel i think something is wrong with me. I don't think I've met someone who hates their birthday as much as I do especially at such a young age.... I just feel so angry n shut down... n I feel even more angry cause my mom is forcing me to get out of my house and do something to celebrate it..... Usually people who don't like their birthday it's a self-pity situation...its not like that...

    You'll live. It's just another day after all. I hated my birthdays for a few years leading up to 30 and I was not happy when that day came. I was cranky all damn day. But when I turned 35 I was in a surprisingly good mood all day. It was wierd. It's really a silly thing to get worked up over. It's almost like a badge of honor now. I dunno, it's really no big deal unless you make it one.

    Birthdays have as much relevance as the Budget. Full of self-importance and ultimately disappointing.

    I don't care for birthdays. I'd like to stay just the way I am now and stay young forever. We're wishing we could stop, but life goes on. The reality is it's just like the other 364 days, so it doesn't make much sense to be that upset about it.

    I'm exactly the opposite. I love my birthdays. Each and every one is a celebration of another year of love, life and adventures. I cherish them, as I have so few left in front of me.
    They do not denote a loss, but a win; another year of life! I have no fear of death, but I shall fight tooth and nail for every birthday I can have.

    How old are you?
    I don't think anyone looks forward to birthdays as they get older. I dred them, but I don't cry. You cant stop time (yet :P) so just enjoy them or treat them as another day if its that bad. You cant stop growing up, so just get on with it.
