Personally I'm not a fan and I prefer to just act like it's any other day, but I get the appeal and why others like them and think they're important.

I don't like mine because it's just a reminder of the fact I got yet another year older (against my will). It reminds me that aging is inevitable and that we have to get older each year

i cant lie i like recieving gifts and getting special attention for my family and I like giving gifts and stuff on other ppls birthdays. But i dont care about celebrating the fact that im older, its always very jarring after my birthday has passed

I think they can serve as a time for reflection of one's successes and regrets. But thats just my take 
I personally try to live everyday like its a birthday (party)

I hate mine because it's a reminder of the inevitable passage of time. Time is always flowing forwards against my will. I'm powerless against time

i feel the same way u feel when u shrug @ something, can't currently remember what that feeling's called, lol. i don't like having a special reminder that im unfortunately still alive v much
but i don't have friends or family to make a big show of it so it usually passes by w/o much fuss. i'd like to be dead b4 mine this year though.

It's not that I'm happy about it; I'm okay with it.

I can't stand people knowing my birthday, but I don't mind celebrating someone else's. My ex-girlfriend thought I was really weird for hiding my birthday from her as long as I did lol.

Here's my unpopular opinion: I personally go all out. Sometimes I rent a presidential suite at a swanky hotel, get a fancy steak dinner, smoke an uber nice cigar, get a marvelous cake, ect., ect. Just depends. But thats just me

Terrible. Last time someone tried to celebrate mine I was turning 21 and a friend I put so much effort into said I wasn't worth coming to the party. I had a meltdown and I haven't had a birthday since.

I just had one and I hate it especially because people know I get extra suicidal around this time and go out of their way to be nice to me when I'm so undeserving.

I hate my birthday as it reminds me that I suffered for an entire year.. a year that could have been avoided had I killed myself before. It also reminds me that I'm continuing to suffer and that I can't easily kill myself due to my autism.. which is the reason why I want to kill myself off to begin with

A birthday to me simply means that I've unfortunately suffered for yet another year, it's just another day really.

I'm not suicidal, but that song... happy birthday... Oh god, mercy us. That song is so "bullet on the head right now".
I try to ignore mine best as possible and don't tell any others in the hope it passes as any other generic day. I hate the commercial idea of 'stuff' being given as presents for the sake of it.
Though if someone I know goes big on their bday, I won't take away from their excitement.

It's just another day to me. I wake up and then i go back to into depression sleep for the rest of the day. I live alone and i have cut all family and friends out of my life. So it's easy to just ignore since no one acknowledges it. It means nothing.

I don't like mine because it's a reminder I'm still alive, or still not dead. It's also the day before an abuser
I really don't like birthdays. My birth isn't something I want to celebrate! I'd rather it hadn't happened. Still, I don't feel mean enough to tell that to my Dad who generally gives me an hourly report on what was happening on that day all those years ago.
But yeah- for multiple reasons really. Quite often in the past, I was accutely aware that I wasn't where I had wanted to be by that age. Plus yeah- with older age especially tends to come more health problems. I'm not looking forward to them! When you're really old, it seems to be more about- 'Well done for getting to this point!' But again- that isn't the aim for me. So, it isn't something I'd want to celebrate. But then, I've become a stick in the mud all round really! I don't really like celebrating anything. It tends to remind me of families and mine are either dead and I miss them or, they're dysfunctional at the core but trying to put on a facade.
