I Felt Alone On My Birthday

my b day is the day after christmas.....so growing up an only child my mother did christmas differently. Those involved with us were wiped out the day after....... it wasn't as bad as it could be

Like that for me as well on birthdays. Don’t like going out for dinner on my birthday

Do you still feel alone or did the post cure? I was thinking about it is all.

i have not had a birthday since 1979,, i know how you feel

I haven't really celebrated in years. But, I am at an age where I am in denial 😉😅

I wouldnt leave you alone

No one should be alone on there birthday

poor girl

U poor girl

Hopefully your more recent birthdays have been better as I firmly believe that should always be a special time.

Is it get'n better 🤷🏼‍♂🤷🏼‍♂🤷🏼‍♂

I have 4 kids and 4 grand kids. Most of them have had a birthday since the lock down. Its hard not to hug them and spend the day with them

In 2019 my birthday was the worst... My girlfriend left me, and I was living in a strange city, without friends. My "only" celebration was buying a video game and sleep all day.

I’ve had one really lonely birthday when I was away at college for a year.

I haven't celebrated mine since I was (forced to at) 13 y/o for that same reason. Better to choose to be alone,than be forced to be alone and/or forgotten

My Daddy is my only remaining relative. On my last birthday he had to work outside so I celebrated with my bestie only.

Yeah, I always go out to eat with my parents. Yippee! But I guess it’s better than nothing.

Well, let me know when your birthday is.
We'll celebrate it.

Many Blessings

I felt especially this way this year. :(. Sending you good vibes!

If you're interested I'd love to chat and get to know you..

It is a belated wish, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Ray

Hope you had a Happy birthday reguardless of the circumstance

I'll never forget my 50th birthday. I thought that someone would throw a surprise party for me for such a momentous milestone (half a century!!), so I didn't mind people "pretending to forget" my birthday.... Yet the evening came and I found myself celebrating all my myself, feasting on leftovers...
🤷‍♂️

I went through it yesterday on my birthday. I did however receive several messages and phone calls from family and friends

I like to be alone, even on birthdays .....:)

I would love to get to know you!

Sorry to hear that!!

Sorry you felt alone

Hope your next birthday is different :-)

oh I am sorry to hear that

it can be but you have to move on ,, and enjoy life ,,
when i was first married my mom was having a Bday party for me ,, and we got news my father in law had pasted away , My wife was very close and to make a long story short i have not had a bday party in 45 years

I was alone on my Birthday during the 2020 Lockdown . It felt kind of strange but I chatted to family and friends on the phone and played some music and had a few drinks and felt better 💗 Hope you aren’t feeling too lonely now 🌹

Whenever it is your birthday log on here we will spend your birthday with you and you will not be alone

Been there done that many times. I had a few birthdays where I’d get a couple happy birthdays from people but that was pretty much it. Its one of those weird adulting things that happens over time

I have spent far birthdays alone than I have with anyone doing anything for my birthday. Depressing, yes, but you get used to it, and figure out how to celebrate yourself.

Spent many on my own. Don't want to ever again, I don't know exactly how to celebrate but it feels a lot better not knowing how to celebrate when you've got people around you you care about

Years ago, I lived in SF (San Francisco) and was alone most of that time. All relatives lived thousands of miles away. Had few, good friends at that time. Gay men tried to hit up on me frequently and not being gay that was borh annoying and depressing. For my birthdays or Christmases back then I tried to provide the illusion of family or social happiness and intimacy by having nice dinners in crowded restaurants, diners or bars. It worked somewhat….

Hi Rayne. Yes i like to go to book stores when I definitely need an engine book or something i meed to learn. I can chat about anything and im a great listener.

Awe, so sorry. Obviously, I realize I'm seeing this so late, but almost a year late. Maybe we can all wish you a happy birthday this year and bring it in with great memes.

No fun being alone at any time.

Also where have all the good bookstores gone x I used to love exploring little side roads and finding them x

Been there many times .,. It could be worse you could be in jail or hospital … I was in hospital but they let me out on my birthday so wasn’t that bad

Birthdays are pretty boring here. I live very far away from most people I grew up with and the people I know now aren't really hang out on birthdays people.

I just saw this i am sorry you felt alone on your bday--I hope you get more online community going into the summer

my dad works on a boat an is away for months and I have to spend my birthday with my new stepmom yuuuuuk id rather spend it alone!

that's one of my worse feelling to be alone on this special day !

I'm alone on my bday almost every year. my family goes on vacation while I have to work haha xD

Aww Happy Birthday for a few days ago sorry you are feeling so alone :( Hope you still had a great day <3
