Venting Today is my birthday

[mizumono]

I know it's such a cliche to be worse on your birthday, but it happens every year. No one remembers, and the few people who do message you are the ones my mom asked, which is just my brother and my SIL. No one else…

And I see how everyone else is like on their birthday… everyone posting pictures with them, writing lovely things, planning parties. And i know it's unfair to compare but i never had a bday party after i was like 10. I have zero friends, not even distant ones that could wish me happy bday today. I truly doesn't matter if i'm alive or not. There's no one to celebrate the fact that i am alive, no one that wants to be with me, to know me. I guess this is my last one, because there's no way in hell i'm suffering through another one, not even suffering actually, i guess just… not existing.

If you just had a bday or is going to, i hope you know you're not alone, and feel my hug through the screen, because it's the most awful feeling knowing there's no one there for you. Thank you for reading my rant

I find birthdays to be depressing as it means that I've suffered for yet another year but anyway I wish you the best, existence really is too cruel and I certainly don't believe that other people in this existence can be relied on.

Happy Birthday! Today is my birthday, too. And I am also at the worst I have been in a while, so I can definitely relate l. The most I've gotten today have been very short, minimal texts from only the female siblings in my family and my only close friend. My sister had to remind my parents that it was my birthday today.

But honestly, I like it that way. For some reason I would rather deal with the loneliness than be around a bunch of people that I would only suspect are in my presence out of obligation. But I do feel much sympathy for you that you missed out on celebrations in your 20s, as I was at least able to experience that. They were somewhat fun at the time, but I can't say I miss it at the ripe old age of 44.

I'm sorry you didn't get more birthday wishes. You deserve to be celebrated. People suck. I know I'm just a stranger so it won't mean much but happy birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you my good friend.

I am the same as no friends EXCEPT all the fine folks here like YOU!

I have never in my life, I am 67, had a birthday party, meal, anything. Anything related to my birthday, I would buy myself a gift.

I wish so much love and happiness to you as family like YOU are so darn valuable to one's heart and soul.

Happy birthday friend. Wish you the best. I myself don't like to acknowledge my birthday. I would rather not have people call, text, or anything. It's not a special day in my eyes and i dont want it to be treated as such. I undestand where you're coming from, but i would personally rather just be forgotten about.

Happy birthday <3 I spent my birthday this year with someone else for the first time in a decade and it was nice and sweet, really hope you meet someone soon who can just be there for you for these silly days. You deserve some happiness!

Happy birthday ! Sending you 1000 hugs and kisses over the phone. I'm sorry you feel like this on your birthday, trust me you're not alone! I hate hearing everyone's excitement for their birthdays and all their big plans, it's difficult to hear! My birthday is soon, I pray I don't have to suffer another boring and depressing birthday, I may do another attempt on my birthday, the thought of another year terrifies me! But I hope you did something that made you happy or had some cake

happy birthday! (I know, it may sound silly coming from an unknown person on the internet, however, I think it does feel good to get some birthday wishes) I wanted to let you know that you're not alone, I had my birthday several weeks ago and it was kind of a milestone birthday so I thought that more people in my circle will congratulate me but sadly it wasn't that way. Hopefully you will find peace some way or another but remember that even though it feels terrible to not have people to congratulate you on your birthday, it still doesn't mean that there are no people who care about you, really. sending you much strength

i feel that way too, but i guess the ideal scenario would just be having people i knew cared about me and that i knew wanted to spend time with me lol guess not being acknowledged is better than being around fake people

Today is my birthday, too

and also, HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I'm sorry you didn't get more birthday wishes. You deserve to be celebrated. People suck. I know I'm just a stranger so it won't mean much but happy birthday!

thank you so so much for your words!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you my good friend.

Thank you so much walter for making me feel less alone and less like a freak for not having friends and loved ones to celebrate with… i do think this community is a better family than anyone in real life, so it means the world to me to see everyone wishing me a happy bday! I hope we can make it a little less lonely together! Thank you so much, i wish you love and happiness as well, you are already valuable to me <3

i guess i'm still trying to cling to any evidence that i shouldn't ctb… alas, i know the spark of hope will never come and people not acknowledging my existence is just even harder to admit to myself i guess

Happy birthday <3 I spent my birthday this year with someone else for the first time in a decade and it was nice and sweet, really hope you meet someone soon who can just be there for you for these silly days. You deserve some happiness!

omg that's amazing!!!! that gives me some hope that maybe i can have a different bday some day in the future, thank you

thank you so much for this, i already feel better seeing all the love! i'm the same as you, the thought of going through this again is unbearable, so i hope we can both find the peace we deserve

it's unfair to think if my bday isnt noticed it means no one cares about me, but the rest of the time the neglect is even worse, so it just confirms i'm alone and no one in fact cares, but then again, i guess you only know how people feel about you after you ctb

I know sometimes birthdays can be tough, but I wanted you to know that I hope you have a wonderful birthday and I hope you do something special for yourself. Happy Birthday (I promise I won't sing!)
