RE: What's your view on birthday celebration

in Proof of Brain3 years ago

Belated happy birthday 🎁
Glad you had a good day and you raise a good point that on one’s birthday we often make contact with people we have spoken to for months and that is a good thing

But that said unlike you I still don’t like celebrating my birthday I really don’t like being the focus of peoples attention at anytime and Birthdays sort of force that upon you

I used to every year go on a trip over my birthday often on a hike or go somewhere and pretend I had no phone service ie turn off my phone for the day and effectively hide away

But when I got married almost 20 years ago my wife wouldn’t have any of that lol

I still like to try and have my birthday pass unnoticed but accept it’s important to my family that they want to mark my birthday with me even though I joke each year I am old enough now I have had plenty of birthdays let’s move on lol 😂

But now I ask myself am I being contradicting in that I always want to make others peoples birthdays special

😂😂😂. Why didn't I think of that before? Oh well, too late. I'm beginning to like it now, lol.

:) well, I think it normal to want to make everyone's birthday special. Which is what your family and friends are trying to do by speaking with you, and singing, and all that. So if you think about it that way, who knows you might actually enjoy it

Yeah let me try a different mindset for my next birthday and see how it goes :)

Yes do that.
