Discussion Anyone else hate like “special” holidays?

[onlyanimalsaregood]

I really hate it.

 

[FuneralCry]

They are just another day to me, it doesn't change anything for me. I personally don't see anything in this life as being worth celebrating and I find forced optimism to be irritating. In particular Christmas is so commercialised.

It just another day for me as well, it just increase my loneliness knowing that most people are celebrating, even if I don't care less to Halloween.

 

[Message In A Bottle]

Yeah, I especially hate Christmas…more like "national spend tons of money" day. They say it's a day filled with love, all I ever feel is greed.

 

[Life_and_Death]

it started when i was 10. i use to spend christmas, easter, thanksgiving, with my grampy and then they kicked grampy out of my life so it wasnt the same anymore. and now, due to suppose to be leaving an abusive situation, i havent celebrated anything in a while and have to deal with "how was the holidays" " you should.." (zero offense because its against my little brother as well but) " SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!!!

Yes, Christmas is the worse holiday… it's when I feel most lonely

I totally understand you. I didn't even celebrated my birthday because there is nothing to celebrate, just one year older… Just another awful year.

I'm so sorry to hear that. You should absolutely pick another day, why not? Maybe I should too. Like one day that nobody knows, just for ourselves and do whatever we want in that day… Sounds good

The only holidays in my life are the ones that my stupid brain makes up when it spontaneously decides that I should compete for the laziest-person-alive world record. Never understood why people are so invested in celebrating stuff they have no connection to. Christmas is really damn stupid. One specific day of the year to make people you like happy? Huh? Affection doesn't need a calendar, an unexpected little gift in June will always be more appreciated than a forced expensive endeavour for that one December eve.

I hate Christmas with a vengeance. Christmas started hi-jacking the shops in SEPTEMBER!!! Yes. SEPTEMBER!!! I can't face it.

My dad died around Christmas, so I can't enjoy that nor New Years as they're so close. And even outside of that, my parents often argued around Christmas as I got older. It was only really peaceful when my parents were separated. The other holidays got ruined, as well. Got into bad arguments with my SO around Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, etc. Had some bad experiences with family around Halloween, too. If I'm being honest, holidays stopped being good for me since I stopped being a small child for whatever reason. I don't look forward to them anymore. The only decent one for me is, like, Easter but I'm not Christian anymore so ...
