How do you feel about your birthday?

I don't want to call myself Christian. I'm really having a hard time believing if there is a god or not.

Fair enough. So December 25th can be your birthday + extra presents on top. 😉

50 is the new 40. 🙂

Still, I I'd probably prefer to be at the 40 is the new 30 level.

You're dreading your 50's?

scout ahead and let me know what's it like

i'll be there in a couple years

If I don't return, go ahead without me, Coyote! Like in those disaster movies.

I hate my birthday.
Main reasons:
1. I have no one to really celebrate with. Just feels like another day for me, so I treat it as such. Then people get upset that I never do/want to do anything special. What am I supposed to do, exactly?
2. It's in December. So close to Christmas, which is probably one of my least favorite holidays.
3. It makes me realize how many years I've been alive (I feel so old), how many years I've spent alone, and how many more years I'll be alone.

My bday is in December too and the winter holidays doesn't help either ,it just adds salt on the wound.

I get what you mean.

I think I kind of hate, hate is probably too strong a word, that everyone is seemingly happy and together. Not that that is a bad thing, but it does make me feel a bit down in general in December.

Yes a little, over 50 is the decade when the inevitable slow down starts to begin. I won't be able to keep up with those whipper snappers any more.

Although with my current fitness I'm actually feeling a lot healthier entering my 50s than I did my forties.

i'd like a kayak

I got you a Yak. His name is Ka. Ka-Yak, so it works out.

Not sure what they do once you shove them into the water, though.
I suppose you could boat it like a motorcycle or something.

You're getting jam, dammit! And you're gonna like it!!

My birthday is less than 2 weeks away. I'm giving all of my birthday money to my pregnant sister. (whose birthday is the day after mine.)

I wasn't big on it for years but like it again now that I have a woman who buys me nice things. 😀

My bday is this sunday, and my parents care alot more about it then I do. maybe because I'm turning 25, but I just want it to be like any other regular day. I also I feel like deactivate my facebook just too see who will bother saying happy bday without fb reminding them

Ha, yeah, that would be nice. 😀

i hate birthdays...i love my family, and they're very thoughtful, and we always throw a party for each birthday ...but i hate it, because we take pictures...soi make oversmile/silly/hideous faces (so at least it looks like i look ugly because of the faces i make)...and i have to act happy...deep inside im not really happy, i just pretend...but then i really do feel happy for a while...but then that sadness creeps in again...cause i know im just fake. my happiness never lasts...

The attention scares me a little. But at the same time, I can't lie, I like that one day when people at least pretend to be nicer haha. However, it always costs me so much stress, I don't want to feel lonely on my birthday, I don't want to be disappointed with myself. In a sick way, it's a test for me - if I am alone on my birthday means I have no friends at all and I know that realization would make me depressed.
My birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to do, especially in a new society like this. I know if I spend it alone, I will feel bad with myself. Last year, my friends organized a surprise party, but this year I have no idea what I'm gonna do.

My birthday is okay. I usually get something like getting to go to a free MLB game. I don't really make a big deal out of it though.

I used to love my birthday, I always had a party. Me and my friend had a blast.. but now that I suffer with serious issues it's just kinda bla.

I don't care for my birthday or holidays to be honest.. I don't celebrate it or even observe it for that matter..

It's coming up in two weeks! I haven't made real friends here at all yet so I really don't know what to do... I know I will torture myself with sadness and blame if I spend my birthday alone but I don't really feel confident enough to invite someone over. Last year, my friends organized me a surprise party and there was no problem... However, this time, I'm so worried how it will turn out. Do you guys maybe have some advice? 🙂
