Don't really know what I'm expecting here... I'm just venting I guess.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[-] JTheDoc@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Happy birthday man... Sorry I'd love to write a convincing and uplifting message but sadly today I don't fee tool great. Haven't really celebrated my birthday since I was 18... 31 now and I hang with people like once a year, my 30th was at home alone. Lots of anxiety and depression...

Hope you feel better soon though, message if you want, I'll want to listen! I can assure you I'm not too busy socialising instead! ;) Sounds boring and typical, bit go for a walk somewhere you haven't been... Give you some fresh stimulation, and you'll feel a little less trapped being stuck indoors.

Would write more, but... I'm not feeling perfect, so I gave my best reply I could now. Stay well! :)

[-] weird_nugget@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Thanks for writing even if you're not feeling all well. Really appreciate it.

[-] Tarkcanis@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I find it interesting how diffrent two people can be; this sounds like my dream birthday.

[-] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Happy birthday! I hope you did nice things for yourself. I’ve spent quite a few major holidays alone, and after I got over the “social norm” aspect of my expectations, I actually ended up enjoying myself quite a bit. I hope you found your own path today.

Happy birthday from an internet stranger! Treat yourself to something you like to do, you deserve it.

[-] Jakdracula@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Ha! Me too! The only “happy birthday “ I got was from recruiters on LinkedIn.

[-] RozhkiNozhki@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Happy birthday!

[-] gndagreborn@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Hey, happy birthday man. I don't know you from Adam, but I hope you do something to treat yourself. Best birthday wishes bro.

[-] Sunroc@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Hey, I don't know if you have similar feelings to me when I was lonely like this. So this would be what I would tell myself during the darkest chapters.

Being lonely isn't a social failing, or an indictment on your personality. Social isolation is becoming a huge problem in a lot of cultures. I don't think it's likely that all these people are unlikeable or unlovable. I don't know an easy fix, all I can say is be public with your interests and your enthusiasm for those interests can attract the right people. Stay strong. it's not easy, but it's worth it.

Cheers, Sunroc

Happy birthday mate, for what it's worth some people would love to have their birthday to themselves.. But feeling lonely is aweful I hope you can find something to cheer you up

[-] unreachable@lemmy.my.id 4 points 1 year ago

learn to hone "aloneness", so you can be alone all the time, but never feel lonely

[-] kungfusion@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

happy birthday my friend! enjoy your weekend, maybe go watch a movie!

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Happy birthday weird nugget.

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Don't worry man, that's pretty much every birthday for me and Christmas. I do a lot of stuff but if you're single and don't speak to your parents... that's just how it is, unfortunately. Can be difficult at first.

Yes I do wish I was getting laid.

[-] slinking@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Happy Birthday, hope you can spend your free time on a hobby and do something just you want to do 😀

[-] tjhart85@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Happy Birthday!

Sucks that you're alone, but that just means you can do the stuff others wouldn't want to!

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Virtual hugs! Go out to a park, beach or have something special for yourself this weekend, enjoy yourself.

[-] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Happy birthday to you!

[-] Xantios@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Happy birthday 🍾🥳🍾 Try doing something that you want but have never donne before, that way you might change your perspective on this 'lonely' day !!!

[-] Jikim@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Happy belated birthday!

[-] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Yesterday was my birthday too. I celebrated by buying a new tire for my car (had a bad flat). Happy birthday to both of us 🎉

[-] Stinkywinks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Happy Birthday OP!!!! I’m sorry you’re feeling lonely on your birthday, that’s rough. I hope that some of the birthday wishes you’re getting here will make a difference in helping to alleviate that. I really wish that your day will get better and you’re able to enjoy your birthday. :)

[-] Poringo@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago
