Every year the same: not celebrating Birthdays

[+Marmar+]

Happy birthday Marmar  don't worry about celebrating birthdays in the usual sense. Every year that you are on earth is a blessing from God and another chance to renew your relationship with God, so just enjoy the fact that Jesus is celebrating your birthday with you. As for your over protective parents well as egyptians we are all born with a pair of those  one day you will find a job and a loving and caring husband and all will change. Until then try your best to enjoy life, we only live once, Jesus loves YOU.

Hahaha, thank you the booss You may say happy birthday tany at 31/10 when I hopefully will become a little bit more mature.  just kidding .

I think it has also to do with the fact that I'm too sensitive (and maybe with my lack of selfconfidence).

Indeed, I feel that I'm truly blessed and I don't deserve God's amazing love for me.
Thanks for your kind words, merci awi.

I never really celebrate my birthday because my parents make such a big fuss out of it and I don't like it. That actually made me completely desensitized to the entire "celebration" concept. I don't know what to do.

Celebrate your baptism day. At least that is what I choose to do.

That means that they love you! But I understand you although. Hmmm, tell your parents that you don't like it?
And if your parents didn't make a big fuss out of it, would u like to celebrate it with your friends?

Hi Marmar,

I think for a normal youth, it would be okay if you feel bad about not celebrating your birthdays for a couple of years. Our birthdays is one of the few events that people feel very special. Actually, I usually feel that way too. I can't celebrate my birthday because of financial constraints but after a while I got used to it. I can't blame my parents for not having enough budget for a celebration. I think you'll get used to it too. We can celebrate it in a special way we can. I think being with your wonderful family and friends will be great. ---jean

I only read your original post and just wanted to say that you are not alone in this. I have the same problem and it is mostly because of the friends or lack of. It is difficult, but just be realistic and start off with something simple. Say, plan a meal at a well known restaurant which most people like. One that caters for vegans and vegetarians too just in case it is during fasting or if some of your friends are.

Organise it for a weekend afternoon/evening so that most people can be able to come. Then use facebook event creator, make a private group inviting your friends well in advance, and to make the invitation more personal, check via text messaging that your friends have seen your invitation on facebook and are able to come. If the majority are for some reason unable to make it for a common reason, ask their suggestions for when they are free instead and change the plan. The key here is to send the invitation at least a month in advance before people plan out their social calendar so they don't have an excuse.

Once you've done this, you will find that you become closer with your friends and some of your friends may connect, so that the next time you can have more exciting plans. But I just don't see how you can get from no celebration to a full on party in one go.
Hope this helps
