Anyone else get pushed into doing what others want for your birthday?

Then they get mad you say no and put a guilt trip on you? And say things like, “Now my head hurts.” And they wonder why I don’t look forward to birthdays.

Do you experience similar?

So here's what you do. Next year, a month or two before your birthday, before anybody thinks to start planning anything, write down a list of stuff you want to do. Take your time and really think about it. Make sure it's all stuff you've always wanted to do. Submit that list, maybe with a fun heading like "MY BIRTHDAY DEMANDS".

@LordShadowfire I prefer to stay home and order food in. I don’t like the people environment 🤣
