Venting I hate my birthday

[FamilialBlackSheep]

My birthday is coming up tomorrow and I dread it so much. I hate having a day where a bunch of people are going to reach out to me on social media just to pretend they care it makes me so anxious, I cant even sleep rn because of it. Birthdays fully lost their sparkle as soon as I was no longer a kid and it got even worse as an adult and I am sure im not alone in this. I just get to try and hide from the world through it all and hope as little people try to contact me as possible. I know my family who I dont talk to anymore are going to try and reach out to me as well and that makes it even worse, why do I have to panic about one guaranteed day every year that Im 'supposed' to be happy for??

i feel the same mine is already past and i hated most of it it was terrible knowing i was yet another year here + what you say, a bunch of people i don't care about (and they don't care about me either) contacting me to "congratulate" me
