Venting No one has wished me happy birthday

[AloneInCollege]

I'm home for the holidays. No one except my family that I live with has wished me happy birthday. I turn 21 today. It all feels pointless and boring. I wish I had the courage to ctb to be honest. And I know that it might look like I'm baiting for wishes but I'm not. It's just rough.

We don't know each other personally. Happy Birthday! Let one thing, but your most cherished desire will come true!

So sorry your feeling low but wanted to wish happy birthday.

Thank you. It's nice to hear even from strangers online.

So sorry your feeling low but wanted to wish happy birthday.

Thanks!

I bristle when I get Happy Birthday wishes. Especially from my parents. It feels like they're taunting me.

But I can understand how it feels when you expect people to remember and they don't. Especially for your 21st. That's a milestone.

Everyone is so wrapped up in their own lives these days.

Happy birthday, AloneInCollege.
21 is a great age. You have a whole life ahead of you. Get help to get better and enjoy your life.
Love

Happy 21st to you and I'm glad you posted on here. You have the family (who you share living with) and us (a group you reached out to) with you.

I knew this situation at the age of 18.

It wasn't easy to be hopeful but I had plenty of birthdays after that which were celebrated my way (solo) and some with friends or acquaintances.

My parents are dead now, I'm single, unemployed and it will be just 1 older relative to know/mention my birthday next year (I'm approaching 40) and any companies that email a deal/freebie.

The rest from social media - I was tempted to remove it this year but not ready for the silence. I think I'm ready to do it now.

Some years are better than others.

21 is a significant one to me - so truly well done for reaching it and I hope you can do something you like with the day. Even on here expressing how you really feel, hopes and fears

 

[AloneInCollege]

Thank you all. It does mean a lot to me

Don't know you, but wish you a Happy Birthday nonetheless. 21 is an important one to make. Glad you made it there.

My brother CTB on my birthday so atleast it's going better than that

 

[Someday_Somehow32]

Glad you've made it this far! Happy Birthday!

I think that there is nothing happy about birthdays in any way, at least to me. Birthdays represent things that I hate such as it's the day when all of the suffering started and I also hate the fact that I'm still here and have managed to exist for another year and birthdays make me aware of that. But your feelings are understandable, I so envy those who ctb and whenever I hear of someone who has succeeded in their plans to leave this world, I always instantly wish that it's me.

Many happy returns on your birthday.

So sorry man. That's such a bad feeling. When you're already down. and you're hoping for a simple 'Happy Birthday' on your one day of the year, that hurts so much. So, I say to you, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. You were born, you matter, and whatever you decide to do, you're still worthwhile.

 

[purplehearted]

Happy birthday. I'm so sorry no one wished you. I don't know you, but i'm proud of you for making it this far <3

Oh, and just so you know..When I turned 45 in December, no one, not even in my own home, wished me happy birthday. And I made damn sure that I wasn't going to remind anyone. Yes, it hurt. It fucking stung. Holding back tears that want to come when you won't allow them to can be felt all through the sinuses for some people. But If they didn't remember? If they didn't care? Then OH WELL. Later in the evening, my son and daughter did wish me a Happy Birthday. So did my 75 year old dad and my schizo-affective nephew (who lives with him, because: reasons). Everyone wants to feel loved and recognized. I hope you're feeling better.

it might not help much from me, but happy birthday. i hope you start to feel better soon.

oh, and again; you have a nice pfp. :)
