does anyone else hate their birthday? i don’t mean the day it lands on, i mean the entire thing. all year long i watch my friends post and make a big deal about birthdays, but how come when it’s my turn, no one seems to care that much? you can say that it’s because im getting older, but ive always felt this way. i’m a giver, so i always make a big deal about other people, but no one really does the same for me. maybe it’s my own fault for expecting to receive the same amount of love and attention that i give out. it’s not just birthdays either; any special event that relates to me seems to always be of lesser importance than those of the people around me. i’m sick of feeling like im somehow less-than or not as important as others. it makes me believe my negative self-talk that i don’t really matter or im not worth as much as others. for me, birthdays are just a reminder that im still here, not worth anything, and just wasting my life. does anyone else hate their birthday?
