Today is my birthday and alone

Hi all.

Today is my birthday, 29 July 1991. I turn 32. (This account is named after my pigeon who passed away last year ) but I have no friends to celebrate with nor has anyone wished me. I have friends but you cant call the close or real friends. They all have their own cliques or the ones who I do talk to regularly either don't know my birthday or have forgotten about it.

I have a complicated relationship with a guy who shares the same date as me (29th but his birthday is in August) and he hasn't wished me but we do get along and have feelings but he has issues with commitment so we are stuck in acquaintance mode. I wasn't expecting from him anyway since hes not my friend.

Its not new as I have been spending the last 3 birthdays alone. this year, I cant go out or do anything special since I am actively working to fill out job applications to get a stable job and I have two interviews on 1st and 2nd of August as well as application deadlines on the 3rd and 7th and a few more lined up.

I do realise that I no longer feel the need or urge to go out and meet friends for long hours as I am finally content with myself but at times, the thought does arise that I wish I also could celebrate with many people since I see such posts often.

How do I get rid of such lingering thoughts?

happy b day i dont rlly know what to say tbh ha but i wouldnt worry about it. things allways get better

Take control of your life…. Do something which satisfies you and gives you purpose

Currently its the stressful job hunting

Do you have any qualifications? Maybe GCSEs? What are you interested in? Do you enjoy exercising? Try the gym…. The gym has saved sooo many people

Yes I have Masters degree and work in R&D at a university in London

I love painting esp oil painting but unable to paint these days due to no time

Have you considered online tutoring? It’s not full time just do it whenever you’re free. A great company is purpleHR and they pay 15-20 £ hr . I’m 18 and do it for explore learning but their pay may be too little for you. But defo check them out. PurpleHR and explore learning. Both might have vacancies on indeed or check their website

Happy Birthday!

There is no shame in celebrating it alone! Go get yourself some ginger beer and let loose

Happy BIRTHDAY woooooooooo.
A blessing to see another year🤗

Thank you @Callicious ! I was thinking of getting some nice drink!

I'll drink a guinness toast to you rn!

Any excuse to have guinness! Even a random persons birthday!
