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

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[–] 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 8 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.

[–] 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.

[–] tjhart85@kbin.social 5 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!

[–] s4if@lemmy.my.id 5 points 1 year ago

HBD dude.. I hope there are many better days ahead for you.. :)

[–] petenu@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

Happy birthday, pal.

[–] Sunroc@lemmy.world 5 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 from an internet stranger! Treat yourself to something you like to do, you deserve it.

[–] 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.

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

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

[–] gruf@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I know that feeling... for what it's worth from a stranger on the internet, happy birthday! 🎈

[–] chrizbie@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] kerr@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Happy birthday! I hope you get to watch, do or read something that you like. Sometimes we’ve got to do the heavy birthday lifting ourselves. Don’t forget the cake or treat! ❤️

[–] melodious-thunk@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

[–] bmsok@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Happy Birthday, Weird_Nugget! Do something special for yourself no matter how simple. Hell, it could be as small as stepping outside or appreciating a glance out of a window. Whatever it is, know that we're all there doing it with you!
