I don't either. I don't see the need to do so.

Birthday decorations stopped after my 18th birthday; and I think that was only even done as it was a "significant birthday". Nowadays, it's just a few gifts from my mum and going out or whatever happens that year: I'm 20 next May.
As you get older, well for me personally, these events just lose all their significance. I don't think you properly understand it when you're told as a teenager, but it does just naturally happen. It's the same for Christmas, Halloween etc. What matter is how you choose to spend the day- whether you go out with friends, go to the cinema or go on a holiday/day trip or whatever. -

I don't anymore - I don't really get / want gifts either. I've got a perfectly good home that I'm living and am happy. What more would one want?

No, in fact I do my best to forget about it. It's just another day to me.

It's just a good reminder that another year has passed and I'm still a **** human being.

You recognise my username?

I will understand if you don't wish to share it, but would it be possible to know why did you give up and what do you plan to do now career-wise? -

Not really. I was born in early January so can't really do much for it as most people are skint and/or fed up after Christmas and New Years so I don't bother.

I'm not sure 'getting well soon' is an option. To be honest, I'm not sure 'getting well' is an option. -

Er yeah, free stuff and cake, what's not to love?
I have a strict rule against surprise parties and singing happy birthday though. Makes me cringe.
I've had a few disappointing birthdays so I always try and make up for it the next year. I think after my 21st (which is on 7th Nov, so in a couple of weeks) I prob won't do much. I'm going to the Harry Potter studios for the third time for this one, lol. I used to have parties when I was a kid, then just had mates round or went for dinner, then when I was older I had house parties/went clubbing (except for my 18th when no one showed up).
