I Felt Alone On My Birthday

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

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….

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 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

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

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

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

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

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 would love to get to know you!

Sorry you felt alone

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

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 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 🌹

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I see this is an old post, I hope you are not still feeling as lonely

On my 21st i was alone with a few beers and a packet of cigs

It is lonely on days like that we people drop out of your life.

whats weird about going out to dinner with your grandparents?

I have not been home for my birthday for the last 27 years.

Until I had a wife and kids my birthday celebration was non existent
