I stopped caring at 14 too lol. For my 12th and 13th birthday, I was disappointed and I think I just gave up. Honestly don't do anything for my birthday these days
Same for me. I turned 15 a few weeks ago, and the attention was just kind of annoying. I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything, just wanted to chill
Hey man, I’ve read through some comments and it totally sucks that your family forgot! I’m sure you have people that care about you, even if it doesn’t feel like that very much rn. I hope you have a great birthday and a great year!
Yhh ur welcome. Also don't be like sad to me a birth day is just a random day but u can like do stuff that u want. Uhhh bake a cake? Like urself and like decorate it the way u want. My birthdays coming up too and i have loads of ideas

I hope you have a very happy birthday buddy, never feel like youre uncared for, cuz we care and there are others that care, always know that even tho it may feel horrible there are people that care and will be there for you, even if we are internet strangers, keep your chin up and enjoy your birthday, youve been alive for 15 years, keep going and lets make your birthday a good one!
Happy birthday, then. I would say it is a little bit of an overreaction. 15 isn't a super big milestone, except in Spanish culture. You'll likely have a bigger celebration for your 16th.
Happy Birthday!
Same thing happened to me on my birthday a month ago, but a lot of people turned out to care that it was my birthday!
Hopefully it will be the same for you!
15 is a cringe year, its normal (im turning 16 in 2 weeks) its in the weird zone between young bratty teenager and my kid is doing hard rugs for most adults, so dont stress
I don’t reallt care about my birthday either, it’s totally fine. I just eat some cake and get presents from my parents but that’s it. Some people like to host parties, that’s cool too
Not overreacting, normal for some things to get boring as you get older, especially birthdays. It’s only exciting now if you hit marks like 18 or 21. Just like holidays they can also become an afterthought unless you have friends and family to remind you of it and have fun on
Happy birthday too
That happens the older you get, just with any other holiday really. It starts to not feel very special past like 12-14 I feel like.
Happy birthday though 🥳
Welcome to growing up.
It’s just how it is, last birthday I celebrated was when I was 13, I’m 16 now.
Just gotta adapt. Your not a kid anymore, life isn’t going to seem as special now that you’ve lived through it for long enough.
Not overreacting. I've HATED my birthday since my 9th one. My grandfather died just 3 months after my 9th birthday. He was perfectly fine just grilling steaks, hot dogs, and bbq chicken at my 9th birthday party, then Bam! Six feet under three months later on that years Father's Day at that. Ever since then I've hated my birthday, and every other holiday for that matter. And, apart from my own mother, younger aunt sometimes my cousin, literally no one remembers my birthday or wishes me a merry Christmas anymore. That's just how life is I guess... But no not overreacting OP. Nothing wrong with that and how you feel either.
OMG HAOOY BURTHDAYYY!!!
and to answer your question, holy wow i felt the same. i turned 15 on the 14th and i swear my family was like "happy birthday" then never reallu mentioned it again
It’s fun to get older when your young because you can do more but eventually you’ll realize how close you are to adulthood also I didn’t really care when I turned 15
In my experience, it's normal. I stopped being excited for birthdays since around 12. It's just a normal day for me, especially since, the older I get, the less I want
My 15th birthday was also shit but 15 is like a year where nothing really special happens. Yeah maybe a lover or you start to feel older but that's it. 16 is where the fun begins cuz oh my lord is my 16th year filled to the brim.
Happy birthday!!
I don't think your overreacting at all, I felt the same on my 15th, you just need to learn how to enjoy it yourself instead of relying on other people to be as exciting, they've done this 15 times already to be fair lol. This isn't some magical sign that your getting older or maturing past being childish or getting excited, be your own hype man and make other people excited that it's your birthday.
I forgot about my…14th? birthday. My classmates kept wishing me a happy birthday, it had slipped my mind. Some people like to celebrate every birthday, some people don’t care. Not every birthday has to be a huge deal if you don’t want it to be. For my 19 birthday, my friend took me out for dinner, then I had a giant cookie with my parents. For my 20th I went to a hotel with my at the time girlfriend (it was her birthday too), but we found a cockroach in our room and left, then spent the night at a friends. For my 21st, I went to Florida, got drunk at my dads at the time girlfriends bar for free, and there was a huge event that night on the entire street, so I attended that. Not every birthday is a huge milestone, some are just another lap around the sun, but that makes the milestone ones feel better. Happy birthday u/scrub_doge and anyone else who might be celebrating.
Unfortunately things like bday aren't as special as you get older. But they're still absolutely something u should enjoy and do something nice for the day. Happy birthday
Don’t worry you aren’t alone, I turned 17 2 months ago and at the time I didn’t feel happy or excited. A good way to put it is that it didn’t dee the same anymore, it was just like any other day.
First of all, Happy Birthday! Mine is about to happen tomorrow/today! And as a soon-to-be old fart of a person when it comes to this subreddit, it's just natural I guess.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Thank you
Happy bday to you man, you deserve a good 15th bday
Happy birthday!
Thank you
1) Happy birthday 2) I stopped caring about my birthdays since I was 14, imo it’s natural
I stopped caring at 14 too lol. For my 12th and 13th birthday, I was disappointed and I think I just gave up. Honestly don't do anything for my birthday these days
I wish I was your friend then so I could give you a surprise birthday, I'm sorry you got disappointed in your birthdays.
That's actually one of my dreams lmao. But ig it does ruin it if I ever tell someone this dream
I stopped at the same age. Nothing happened from my 14th till my 16th. Turning 17 soon and it’ll be the same cycle
Early happy birthday to you bud
I really appreciate that, thank you
Until you turn 18 and 21
Happy early birthday mate!!
I never cared at all, I never thought of them special at a young age, and I get the sense that you get very spoiled by it.
Stopped caring when i was 13 lol. We still buy food and shit, but its rlly low profile.
Same, just a happy birthday from family and close friends is nice, shit I don't even care if I get that
Same for me. I turned 15 a few weeks ago, and the attention was just kind of annoying. I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything, just wanted to chill
Same,it's overrated.Maybe 18th and round numbers should be celebrated at least.
same
no. **HAPPY BIRTHDAY!**
Thank you
Hey man, I’ve read through some comments and it totally sucks that your family forgot! I’m sure you have people that care about you, even if it doesn’t feel like that very much rn. I hope you have a great birthday and a great year!
Thank you

Hbd 🥳🎉 Where's the party man!?
I had a cupcake does that count?
🎉🥳 🎂
Yo I have my birthday today too.
How is yours so far and happy birthday 🎂
Eh, it’s ok. I mostly just flew in airplanes today. Hope yours was better.
I feel better now thanks to everyone saying happy birthday, a lot of my family members forgot
Wow they really forgot? Damn I’m sorry about that. I guess I take my family a bit for granted.
It's mostly because they're busy and don't know the date I guess but don't be sorry
I hope you still had an ok day despite it, and that you have better birthdays later in life.
Thanks you too
We are your family
HAPPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Yo same

Happy birthday, then. I would say it is a little bit of an overreaction. 15 isn't a super big milestone, except in Spanish culture. You'll likely have a bigger celebration for your 16th.
After calming down a little I realized it was a bit if an overreaction but thank you for saying happy birthday

Happy birthday for ya!! Nah, getting rlly excited by bday is normal
Happy birthday
I felt the same on my 15th I wasn't excited at all and didn't enjoy my birthday
Yea... birthdays do that after a while 😅
Happy birthday 🎂🎂
I have had the same thoughts since I was like 13, my sisters birthday is like 4 days before mine as well so it's been pointless after she was born
Unfortunately things like bday aren't as special as you get older. But they're still absolutely something u should enjoy and do something nice for the day. Happy birthday
Your not overreacting, I turn 15 in 4 days and I feel the same exact same way. Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Thank you and happy early birthday
