I hate my birthday so bad that I deactivate my Facebook account on my birthday, then get upset about it because no one remembers my birthday.
I swear, I always think that people will judge me if I don't get enough "happy birthday" posts on my wall. And it upsets me if I don't get that many, as stupid as that sounds. It feels like no one really cares enough to take the 5 seconds to say happy birthday to me. So to solve my problem? I deactivate my account for the day.
However, Facebook is the one thing that reminds everyone that it's your birthday. So now it's like, you get upset because no one is texting you or calling you to say happy birthday. And then that just triggers this huge depressed episode, followed by some serious rage because you know, you say happy birthday to everyone and no one even bothers to say it to you, but then you kind of realize that it's not their fault because like, you can't remember everyone's birthday, which leads to you getting super upset because you realize that you're being an asshole and God I just hate my birthday!!!
