I have my birthday hidden on Facebook for this reason - if people are part of my life they’ll know and if they aren’t then I’d rather they weren’t prompted by Facebook.

When I was younger I hated anything that made me the focus of attention so would’ve probably felt like you. I’m a certain mature age now lol,
Yeah I hide my birthday on my Facebook for the same reason. It forces people to wish you a happy birthday. One thing I'm okay with though are combined birthday celebrations where more than one person celebrates their birthday at the same time. I like this better because not all the attention is focused on you and only you.
