Some people enjoy being the centre of attention, but most of the people I know do consider it somewhat embarassing to hear the birthday song sung for them -especially in public.
If you are really uncomfortable you could try mentioning it to a few close friends or family members. Maybe they feel the same way, or they will at least respect your feelings about it next year if they know how you feel.
I think most people feel that it should be sung, even if they personally don't like it either, so that the birthday person won't feel neglected.
is it normal to feel akward when people sing birthday song to me??
