It’s not about Millennials only, it’s about the every person who always says “I Don’t like to celebrate Birthdays” Such a big liar. Are we hate birthdays celebration, Like what you not like about celebrating birthdays ? But come on, deep down, we all love a good celebration, don’t we? So, why do we sometimes feel disconnected when it comes to our own birthdays? Let’s talk about.
Here We Feel Disconnected :
What’s Going on Socially
Our feeds blow up with birthday wishes. But sometimes, it feels like those wishes are just…..well, wishes. The wishes don’t connect you, they feel kinds empty, It’s just feel like a formality because the person who wishing you happy birthday, long time don’t talk, they don’t know what’s going on your life, It’s like they’re coming from nowhere at time just for a text to wish you only happy birthday.
Feeling the Pressure to Respond
And then there’s this thing about having to respond to all those wishes and every single one messages. It’s like a social rule now. You get a message, you have to reply. But keeping up with all of that can be exhausting. It’s like trying to match the energy of everyone else’s excitement, and it can leave us feeling a bit drained.
How It Affects Us :
Birthday Stress
All this pressure to keep up with the birthday messages can really stress us out by mentally and emotionally. It’s like there’s this expectation to respond to every single one, and if we don’t, we worry that people will think we’re rude or ungrateful. It’s supposed to be a happy day, but sometimes it feels more like a Duty.
Comparing Ourselves
Then there’s the whole comparison game. We see all these posts from your friends about their amazing birthday celebrations, and suddenly, you’re comparing your own birthday to theirs. It’s like a never-ending cycle of trying to measure up to everyone else’s standards, and it can make us feel pretty crappy sometimes. We start questioning if our own birthday celebrations are good enough, if we’re good enough and that’s just not fair and we not able to match good level.
Pressure to be Happy
The birthdays should be super happy. But for some, it’s hard to feel cheerful, especially if they’re dealing with mental health issues, Feeling like we have to be happy even if we hate birthdays.
Expectations vs. Reality
We often expect big, Instagram-worthy celebrations. But when our own parties don’t match up, it can make us feel let down and not good enough. Trying to make everything perfect can take away from the fun.
Thinking about getting older
Birthdays can make us think about getting older, which can be scary or sad for some people. It’s normal to feel anxious about growing up and what the future holds.
How We Can Deal :
Prioritizing Genuine Connections
Maybe it’s time to focus on the quality of our connections rather than the quantity of birthday messages. Let’s make an effort to reach out to the people who really matter to us and show them some love, instead of just scrolling through a never-ending stream of generic messages. It’s about cherishing those genuine connections that make us feel valued and appreciated.
Celebrating Personal Growth
Instead of dreading getting older, why not celebrate the growth and wisdom that comes with each passing year? Birthdays are a chance to reflect on our journey and the lessons we’ve learned along the way. Embracing this growth can help us feel more positive and connected on our birthdays.
Changes in Relationships
As we grow, our relationships change too. People we used to celebrate with might not be around anymore. This can make birthdays feel different. But it also gives us a chance to make new connections and start new traditions.
Finding Joy in the Little Things
what celebrating our birthdays means to us? Let’s take a step back from all the social media hype and find joy in the simple things. Whether it’s spending time with loved ones or treating ourselves to something special, let’s make our birthdays about what truly makes us happy.
So, yeah, birthdays can be a bit overwhelming sometimes, but they’re also an opportunity to connect with the people who matter most to us. Let’s focus on building those genuine connections and celebrating in a way that feels authentic to us. After all, isn’t that what birthdays are really about? sometimes the energy and excited about someone birthdays and they don’t even wish us and reciprocate the same energy, one reason more add why we start hate birthdays.
Remember, it’s not about how many messages we get or how extravagant our celebrations are—it’s about the love and connections we share with others.
