When you’re a kid, your birthday is the most exciting day of the year. Every year, however, birthdays become less exciting. It is an undeniable fact that the further you get into adulthood, the less people you have surrounding you all the time. People have busy schedules because they take on more responsibilities.

I do agree that birthdays are overrated. I don’t see a reason for people to go all out for every single birthday. I’ve met so many people who make a huge deal out of every single birthday — some even celebrate their birthday all month long! These people definitely make me feel like birthdays are overrated.

Urban Dictionary defines “Birthday Blues” or “birthday depression” as “a general sadness or feeling down by a person on or around his or her birthday.” A person feeling birthday blues should know that it is normal to feel this way and should be supported by his or her family and friends.

We sometimes call it the birthday blues or birthday sadness, and it’s often caused by fear of uncertainty, or fear of aging. Softer terms like these can undermine the difficult reality many people experience. What’s more, the transient nature of birthday depression makes it even easier to brush off.

It is not weird not to care about ones self birthday, because these days are only meant for a change in someone’s life. but the cake taste good , gifts are so good too and having nice time with people and friends that you may see them only in a birthday is nice .

Spending birthday alone this year? Here’s how to feel good about it

1. Go for a Movie Marathon. Spending your birthday is not bad when you have a good movie and a big screen.
2. Spend Your Time Outside.
3. Make Some New Hobbies.
4. Unwind With a Spa Day.
5. Take a Trip.
6. Treat Yourself to a Restaurant.
7. Get Tickets for a Concert.
8. Shopping Day.

There’s nothing wrong with celebrating alone. Before the pandemic, it wasn’t as difficult to think of things to do alone on your birthday. You at least had more options to make the day feel special. Now, though, options are limited.

Tips to beat the birthday blues

1. Start the day right. Trying to think positively right from the outset is a good place to start.
2. Find the best way to celebrate. Birthdays are days where it is acceptable to be a bit selfish.
3. Don’t over plan.
4. Manage expectations.
5. Keep busy.
6. Stay positive.
7. Tell people.
8. Set a ‘sadness’ time limit.

When Someone Forgets Your Birthday: 11 Thoughts We All Have

1. “But I remembered theirs…”
2. “It’s not like they have that much going on.”
3. “I spent hours choosing their present!”
4. “Well, they bought [shared close friend] a birthday present”
5. “Okay, that’s fine, I’ll just conveniently forget theirs too.”

What to Do If Your Boyfriend Forgets Your Birthday. Tell him in rational, non-accusing way that you would like him to remember and celebrate your birthday next time. Explain how it’s important to you and makes you feel valued. Let him know how happy it makes you when he acknowledges your special day.

It might make you feel embarrassing, it might hurt ego as well, but if someone doesn’t know or has forgotten your birthday, there’s no harm in reminding them like this. It will make them feel special that you care about them wishing you on your birthday! Ps.

One can say that in most cases forgetting someone’s birthday isn’t a big deal. If someone did forget your birthday then remind them in a casual manner. Try to understand the reason behind it and then move on. Birthdays are fun and there is no rule that says that you can’t celebrate one at a later date.

If They’re Apologetic “Especially if they are truly upset they forgot. Let them try to make it up to you.” Yes, the fact that they forgot is annoying and may hurt your feelings, but if they show remorse and genuinely want to make it up to you, consider letting it go and accepting their apology.

Forgetting someone’s birthday isn’t a big deal and doesn’t mean you don’t care about them. Ive had several people get legit mad at me for forgetting their birthdays. One girl I knew would say, “You really aren’t a friend if you can’t even remember something simple as their birthday.” Which is true except….

In the case of a missed birthday, consider writing your apology on a birthday card and sending it along with a gift card to your friend’s favorite coffee shop or department store. All you need to say is that you’re sincerely sorry you missed her birthday and that it won’t happen again. And, of course, “Happy birthday.”

If not, then yes, you should tell him. Some women seem to expect their boyfriend/husband to just “know” things like this, even when they have never been told them before. But as long as you already told him before, then I’d wait until your birthday is over to “remind” him.

Yes tell him!! just tell him you want to do something special together for your birthday. he will do something for you. or you can plan a special birthday date together. don’t make yourself upset or mad.

Whatever be the case, it’s definitely extremely careless of him to forget his girlfriend’s birthday. Most guys and girls alike like to be wished on their birthday and feel happy if they are given a present or a party. So unless he’s extremely forgetful, there is no excuse for him not remembering your birthday.

Simply tell him that your birthday is coming up soon. I don’t think there is anything wrong with reminding a significant other about an upcoming birthday. I’ve had girlfriends make comments that they hope I’ve got something special planned, it has never bothered me because it is direct.

Sit down with him and get curious. Be non-confrontational and try and validate where he’s coming from. Ask him, “Help me understand why don’t you think birthdays are a big deal?” “Have you always felt this way?” and “Have others in your family had this same belief?” After listening to him, give him a sense you get it.

Don’t tell him it’s his birthday but don’t make it obvious that you are trying to avoid the topic either. If you must mention it is his birthday, just call it his special day. You can say, “Let’s have a great day together and enjoy this special day.” Birthdays are a good time to discuss how much you mean to each other.

Simply tell him that your birthday is coming up soon. If you want to soften it from a specific reminder that implies he has forgotten (and he may not have) then you could add that you’re really looking forward to it. I don’t think there is anything wrong with reminding a significant other about an upcoming birthday.

A really nice wallet or a thoughtful memento Among the most obvious birthday gifts for him are traditional items like leather wallets, belts or jackets, nice shoes, pocketknives or watches. If your man appreciates quality things, then this might be all you have to do to show him how much you care.

There is no social Obligation for you to tell others it is your birthday. I personally avoid telling people when it is my birthday as I don’t like the extra attention. You can always casually mention it that it is your birthday or that your birthday is coming up in conversations.

If you’re too bashful to ask anyone directly about your crush’s birthday, maybe you can circle around it with your crush until they reveal it to you themselves. Pull up a daily horoscope on your phone and go around asking everyone for their signs so you can read your crush their fortune.

Keep genuine interest. Ask questions about his/her interests. Make your crush feel that you’re willing to listen to him/her. Make him /her feel that you want to know more about his/her life- childhood, dreams, and principles in life. Ask about his/her pet peeves.
