Re: non fandom confessions

[(Anonymous)]

My birthday is in less than a week and I’m dreading it - because I WANT people to make a big deal about it but I know no one will. I probably won’t even see my gf cause of our work schedules, I already know I won’t be getting presents from her or my family because of money issues, one of my two local friends is too busy to hang out this time of year and the other has been flakey in the past and completely forgot about my birthday last year so...

And I want to not care and just treat it like any other day but I DO care and I want people to treat me like I’m special, which I know is dumb and immature but... it’s how I feel.

I get you, nonny. What I do is I make it special myself. I celebrate it all out, even if just for me. Hell yeah, let's have that cake I want, and wear what I want and hey, sure, I'm going to go to that movie I've been wanting to see and when I get home I'm not going to do anything but crack open that book I've been dying to read.

I live on my own and I've found that, really, the best way to make days special is to make them special. I buy myself flowers and chocolates for Valentine's Day, I've made my own Christmas Eve/Day rituals to go through and enjoy, things like that.

It's great when other people are there to celebrate with you, but it doesn't always happen. So it's important to take the time out for you to make it an important day for you, if it matters to you.

It might be an age thing too? We've been told as we get older that celebrating our birthdays is childish and that we shouldn't want that, so sometimes it means our friends just assume they shouldn't make a big deal out of it.

I agree with anon above me. You can reach out to your friends that ARE available and throw your own party for yourself with them involved, or you can just enjoy the day by yourself by spoiling yourself in doing what YOU want.

Unfortunately I doubt I’ll have opportunity to do what I want. I don’t have any spending money because I live paycheck to paycheck, I’m going to be working all day, and I don’t even own a car to drive myself places... maybe the issue is more that I’m depressed with no one to hang out with and I just feel worse about my shitty life around my birthday. But regardless even though I know I could treat myself, the irrational part of my brain just wants other people to care about it too and act like it’s special. It’s no ones fault cause they’re all just busy with their own shit, but... like I said, it’s irrational.

I usually barely notice my birthdays at this point and I certainly don't need a big celebration every year, but it's nice if someone acknowledges it in some small way at least every few years.
