How do you get through your birthday?

My birthday is coming up soon and my family are already preplanning what will happen on the day. They want to take me out shopping and then on the afternoon and evening there will be a party... I'll never understand birthdays. For me the ideal birthday would be spending the day alone in my room where I can be myself and be at peace but every year I'm dragged out and put through a miserable experience lol.

When I was a child I was invited to a girls party and that was also a terrible ordeal. I ended up having a meltdown and my mum had to come and pick me up because I couldn't cope with the noise and the amount of people present at her party. I received some mega bullying after that.

A bit like Xmas I wish I could skip my birthday Slight frown

  • Personally, a birthday should be done on your terms, not anyone else's. You should tell someone, and if they have opposing views, just point out to them that we don't operate on the same frequency and that humanity isn't a hivemind. We aren't the Borg. 

    Nobody should have to be made to feel insignificant just because you do things differently. Just because they disagree, it doesn't make them right. 

    It should be what it says on the tin, "Happy" 

  • Totally agree in every way. Nice reference to the Borg as well lol. I wish I were on the Enterprise, I would go on the holodeck and make my own utopia and never leave again lol.
