Does anyone else think celebrating birthdays is stupid?

[ChadL1te]

maybe things like 18th birthday or 10, but other than that I dont see the point. What am I celebrating and getting congratulated for? Existing? Why should anyone get props for that? You didn't do shit, you can get rewarded once you succeed. I get really pissed when i see kids my age getting hundreds worth of gifts for their birthday.

Even if they're rich thats corny, shows a weak and soft mindset. I also find it awkward when my friends and family make a big deal, they're just being nice so I appreciate it but Im never super excited.

yeah it's a waste of money. i think a lot of celebrations are just meant for kids. adults are supposed to be celebrating it with/on behalf of their children, but we have so many genetic dead end anti natalists nowadays and no nuclear families left

I always got anxious asf when my birthday came around because I knew my friends wouldn't remember or say anything

ages 3-18 are really important for mental health and well being

you should still have some form of celebration after that no matter how small (even if its just a shot of sambuca by yourself)

I stopped celebration my birthday, because it reminds me I'm getting older.

 

[fukmylyf]

some of my birthdays were the worst days of my entire life

As long as they give me things I'm fine with birthdays

sure a small celebration but for me just having someone acknowledge it is enough. Maybe for like 12 year olds yeah but past 14 it’s a waste

 

[Deleted member 6305]

Why not?

My family doesn't do birthdays
Everytime someone here has a birthday is someone from outside doing them lol

that's kinda what I mean. just do something to mark the moment.

even "close" friends don't really acknowledge mine anymore

just my parents

nah disagree

a niggas brain develops till 25 innit

stuff like 16 18 and even 21 should be marked with friend groups IN STYLE

missing out could be detrimental and lead to abused dog syndrome

I'm 22. It's mostly Consoomerism if anything. Some people use it to hit milestone. Like Millionaire by 30. Lamborghini by 40. Private Jet at 50. Yacht at 60 etc.

 

[Deleted member 80684]

It is and I fucking hate birthdays
Nobody celebrate them after 20 anyway

 

[Nick.Harte]

It’s stupid only if you’re incel. You should celebrate your birthday when you’re good looking

 

[ChadL1te]

dosent make sense, still a stupid celebration

 

[Darkeningstar]

I can't stand birthdays and I don't like to wish others happy birthday, in fact I forget most of the dates

 

[Gonthar]

dosent make sense, still a stupid celebration

But do you have any people who would actually come to your birthday?

 

[skkrrrtcantdo]

Legit my birthday today

 

[ChadL1te]

Legit my birthday today

Make the most of it ig, unless you’re grown. Then getting a ton of gifts is weird

 

[ChadL1te]

Yeah, some close friends

 

[Gonthar]

Yeah, some close friends

Then you should be happy, you spend some time with them, have fun together, etc.

I usually get treated to dinner out by my family.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I dislike having a good time, i just find the importance of birthdays to be found in a questionable reason and value

 

[Deleted member 46941]

Yeah I feel the same way now, I'm in my twenties and getting old is scary
