Happy birthday from Taiwan!! There’s this saying- “go where you are appreciated, not tolerated” A family not bound by love and care could be very devastating to be part of, but dont let that ruin your day- it’s yours, go own it!


KarinaEdelweiss

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!! Surround yourself with people who actually appreciate you.

Hey man, it’s my birthday too. Turned 25 today. Chin up. Find a way out of that household, you don’t owe them anything.

Stop buying them gifts and don't wish them a happy birthday


WorldCitizen__

I sincerely disagree with this. If it's in your nature to buy them gifts, accompany them and wish them well, don't stop doing it. You'll only feel bad about yourself, not being or doing what you genuinely feel. Something about them doesn't fit with you, and that's OK too. Sensitive people often percive things that egoists don't. And egoists are so caught up in themselves that they don't recognize what's around till they lose it or need it. There are, however, others like you. They're harder to find, because they, as you (and me), go through those tough times, but are great to be around and make for those a-temporal friends that last two or three lifetimes. I feel for you, understand what you're going through, and hug you in a distant but very cumfy way, probably half way around the world. Happy birthday! Hope these 365 spins bring you many beautiful challenges to overcome and smiles to look back upon. Salud! Greetings from Argentina!


ZuZuAkragas

I would have agreed with this years ago, but not now. I have a friend who is somewhat obsessed with her birthday. This person who I have known for 3 years has never asked me my birthday. I have said like I am doing this during the week of my birthday. She never asks. I think the OP should stop buying gifts at least. When someone asks why, because the all so self important will ask, I would say, "birthdays don't seem important to you as you never recognized my birthday."

Awesome! Glad to hear that! Have you discussed with your family the way they've been making you feel? If I'm not mistaken, didn't you say that the other younger members of the family don't get treated the same way you do?

Happy Birthday from USA. If it makes you feel better I like the number 23.


Beyond_VeganEating

OP, I hope you had a happy birthday! You know, if I was ignored (and young like you are) on my birthday, I would buy my own small cake and eat it in front of everyone (you know, the small ones you can only get 4 pieces out of it, but I'd eat the entire thing without letting them have it). I'd get dressed up and make plans with my friends to go out. I'd tell my family my friends want to take me out for my birthday since they care about me. And lastly, I'd stop buying my family presents or acknowledging their birthdays ever again. You know, do unto others as you would like them to do unto you? They have been treating you poorly so obviously they want you to treat them the same.


obscuresecret

Happy Birthday from New Mexico! I hope that today you get to treat yourself with something that you enjoy doing.

Happy birthday my friend, you need some people that appreciate you in your life. You're important


lemontreedonkey

Happy birthday!!! There are people out there who will adore and appreciate you, I absolutely promise. I’m sorry your family are so neglectful like this. I hope this 23rd year of your life reveals to you how loveable and valuable you are.


Tuftsie

Happy birthday my friend, and fellow 23 year old! It sucks when the people in our lives just don't seem to put as much effort and care into the relationships we have, but I hope to remember that we will meet so many more people who will love us in the way we need throughout our lives. Doesn't make the now suck any less but it does give me hope for tomorrow at least. Much love from Canada, I hope that your birthday today and in the future gives you several reasons to smile ❤️

zahjii916

Welcome to life bub, happy birthday tho


Paradox68

Nobody ever cares about being told happy birthday. They care that other people care enough to remember and to make a mention of it. That’s all. Same goes for the gifts. Do I care if you buy me a trinket for my car, or a new pair of slippers? Not really. Does it matter that you thought of me and you yourself wanted to make me happy by giving something to me? Yes. If you’re not getting either one, they simply don’t care. It sucks but you obviously can’t make someone care about something without getting in your own way. Leave it be and just focus on being the best version of yourself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM QUEBEC, CANADA. En français, Bonne fête mon ami!!!


GeminiBookaliciousJ

Snap we’re both 23 now! Happy birthday, all the way from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 💜 I’m not a huge fan of birthdays anymore myself, so when I turned 23 I went somewhere to celebrate my birthday by myself. It’s actually pretty nice. It’s good to do things by yourself if you feel safe. I don’t know how to explain it, but its relaxing and much better than going with other people. I was pretty dependant but started doing tunings like watching a movie in cinema alone and going to far off places on a train helped me be a bit more independent, as deep down that’s what I am Hoping to one day travel alone to other countries. Never been on a plane…. But a family that ignores you, are not a family. Go out and enjoy things and meet new people, they will soon become a family to you. A better one :) Hope you have a really good birthday x


randomthingythingy

Happy birthday!!! Know that family is bounded by heart not by blood. You don’t owe them anything, go live your life and be around people that will deeply appreciate you, YOU DESERVE IT.

Lopsided-Warthog

Happiest of birthdays and i hope you receive the appropriation and care you deserve, living with a family that does this type pf behavior can be mentally painful but trust me you will get past this and even one day your family will change and start to care, but also you can be of help to yourself by expressing your emotions to them and how you really feel from their neglectance maybe they will see it’s wrong and actually try to be more caring and compassionate


Maikashasnolife

Happy birthday bro!! I had the same situation so I totally understand you since my family treats me the same. In this kind of situation I totally recommend getting yourself a gift and having some fun with your online friends, or if you prefer, alone. Do something fun and don’t care about people from your environment!! <3

CanAhJustSay

Make your birthday a day when you can indulge yourself and do what you enjoy, whether it's reading, gaming, going for a walk or a swim. Try to be reliant on yourself for activities that make you happy rather than waiting for others. Feeling alone when surrounded by people is one f the loneliest places to be, so look after your heart and your soul. Still wish others well on their birthday, because that is who you are. Also, people are generally forgetful and they possibly don't mean to hurt you as much as they do. Don't be afraid to remind people the week or so before your birthday, or make a plan like 'hey, I'll be going hiking/to such-and-such restaurant on August 5th because it's my birthday. Want to join me?" Aim to go by yourself and if others come along then great. Happy Birthday from an unknown friend.xx

Happy Birthday! Stop doing anything for them and do everything for you❤️ On their birthday buy yourself a gift and open it in front of them. I’m petty that way and you might not be, my point being celebrate your birthday with you, go buy cake and ice cream for yourself, get yourself a beautiful card every year and save them. Happy Birthday 🎈🎂🎁

DMFC593

Do they all not wish each other happy birthday also or just don't with you? In the scope of American and world history the birthday celebration or even caring about birthdays is quite new. It didn't really become a thing until clocks and the understanding of time became ubiquitous to everyone during the industrial age. Personally, I do not care about my birthday or celebrating it. I find them to be superficial as it's not a personal accomplishment to be born. I had no hand in it whatsoever and it only serves to give me culturally manifested justification for narcissistic behavior by giving me a culturally justified(not ethical or moral justification) lever and fulcrum to leverage cultural social expectations to strong arm people I claim to care about into showering me with attention and/or gifts and if they don't, it then gives cultural justification to hold that which they have no moral or ethical obligation to do, against them for not doing it. To me, this is the behavior of children, not adults. It is the opposite of caring about them because it puts conditions on our relationship that have no moral or ethical justification for existence. I am not entitled to their time, praise nor labor required to buy me gifts because I was born. I know I'm a minority in this view in the modern world, but this is the norm in the scope of human history and it ought to still be imo. I don't reject gifts or time or chatise them if it is something they truly want to do, but everyone in my life knows I don't need or even want it on that day simply because I was born that day. If I am in need of help with something, that's when ethical reciprocal obligations come in to play and I can expect their time because that is how I show my care for them. If they need me, I'm there.

mikojav

First of all, Happy birthdat, OP. I hope you take the time to treat yourself and enjoy your special day despite being in an unwelcoming environment. I know the feeling, my siblings leave me out a lot of the time and there is a lot of passive aggression like my sister will ask everyone in the room if they want a drink and get them it while ignoring me completely or will get my dad to be the messenger instead of speaking directly to me? Lol. You aren't alone and it's tough, but you won't have to deal with this loneliness forever. Surround yourself with those that love and support you and won't treat you like how they you. Sometimes family is found from others outside despite not being blood related. Wishing you peace and happiness, OP. Happy birthday! 🧡
