Do you care about celebrating birthdays much or no? Personally, I don't care much about celebrating birthdays.

Yeah, there's a certain age after which you kinda stop caring about your own birthday.

Not since my late 20s. But it's nice to have a day to celebrate yourself, we all deserve it, but it can be any day you feel like pampering yourself.

Oh, I try keeping my friends away from her.

I kind of dread people celebrating me, usually in part because the times around that celebration are busy and stressful for me so I can do the performative gratitude that people expect when it happens.

Then it devolves into conversations of what is wrong with you (why are you broken) or what is wrong with this (why do you hate me).

no

Her birthday is close enough.

That certain age for me was 13

Doesn't it seem so selfish? If OTHERS want to celebrate MY birthday that's nice and up to them, but I've always felt weird inviting my friends to MY OWN BIRTHDAY party jfc. XD

I don't need to celebrate too much, but taking the day off work and going out for dinner somewhere nice is something I like to do.

Birthdays are for children and 100 year olds

I like to keep to the same routine when possible. Birthdays and holidays interrupt that. No good. I can't do much for holidays, but since my birthday is supposed to be my day, i can demand this from everyone around me.

No. I won't tell people when my birthday is.

Exactly. Most men tend to stop celebrating their birthdays in their early teens.
