For me, they are the most depressing days I have. It's a combination of everything. From being reminded I'm getting older and uglier. to being reminded I've never spent any birthday that wasn't just my family. That I've never gotten a happy birthday from anybody outside of my family. To being reminded that I've been living for this long and today was the day I was forced to live with shit genes against my will.
But, then I remember I haven't killed myself yet for yet another year so I have to give myself some credit for being mentally strong there.
But otherwise I hate my birthdays. The breaking point was trying to "network" in school and wishing everyone happy birthday and all that, only to have mine arrive and not a single person of the dozens I wished one returned the favor. I was sitting by my phone for hours waiting for a single one that never came, then I just felt pathetic and stupid, just deleted all my contacts and just embraced not even trying to socialize anymore.
