I think the who over-doinf if the birthday thing (by the person themselves) is a cry out for attention
wait what. I mean like celebrate quietly by myself no cake or anything. just enjoy my day maybe go see a movie and have a nice dinner by myself. I'm not trying to get attention! just trying to have a special day for myself. It's like treating myself hey I survived another year I'm doing good keep it up. I'm not sure if any of this makes sense haha.
I wasn't talking about you, I was speaking generally.
ah I see. then I don't know hah. some people just need it.
