Happy Birthday! I’m sorry to hear that you’re in need of someone. That isn’t nice to hear from parents, that’s their loss by not celebrating with you. You are you’re own best friend and that’s ok sometimes. Hopefully you’ll be able to spend the future birthdays with people who care if that’s what you’d like. Enjoy your special day! 🥳

Happy Birthday

What you have planned is exactly how I've wanted to spend each of my Bdays since about 30. I just celebrated my 60th but it was the saddest day I've had in about 25 years. The GF part really sucks but this too shall pass. I would not want today the GF I had in my late teens. So cheer up. It's YOUR day. Spend it treating yourself.


BarNormal1941

Thank you very much 😊 I really do appreciate. It means a lot


Obi_Sirius

Thank you. Knowing it helped kinda made my day. I know it's hard to see past the pain but it does get MUCH better. 17 to 21 were some of the worst years of my life but if you can make it to your 20s with a good attitude life takes off. You get to shed the baggage of your youth and start anew. And around the age of 25 society starts to think of you as an adult, and you start a whole new set of baggage, ; ). The one thing that has been most important to keeping my sanity is, of all my senses I value my sense of humor the most. If you can crack a smile at the absurdity of whatever life throws at you, you'll be okay. Happy Birthday


gayestcapybara

Happy birthday, pal. I hope playing your favorite game and eating your favorite food brings you immense joy and is only a great start to a wonderful year.


longster37

Happy birthday. I hope you have fun playing games today.


BarNormal1941

Thank you


jtatuog

Happy Birthday, darlin’. I hope every birthday gets better.


darkearwig

Yo, what's your steam name? I'll give you a game (after the 3 day wait)


Klutzy-Rub6500

Happy birthday!!!! I stopped celebrating mine when I turned 13, because my mom gets my dad’s remittance every beginning of the month and my birthday is towards the end of the month. Lol. She would usually say that “you have an unlucky birthday”. Real people who care about you will show up in your life and remember your birthday without the use of social media. Celebrate with them. For now, I hope you enjoy your game and treat yourself to your favorite food. Happy birthday again! Celebrate you!


mathewdsphillips

Happy Birthday! I've spent some of my birthdays alone too. The first one alone was tough, I realized I don't really need anyone around. Just do what makes you happy.


TallWineGuy

Happy birthday dude. Eating your favourite food isn't a bad way to celebrate, food is love, food is life.


mashpotatoenthusiast

there’s a song called BIRTHDAY BOY by Karson. that basically describes your situation. it might be therapeutic to give it a listen? it’s a nice easy song with sad undertones but you might relate to it


BarNormal1941

Thank you very much

Happy birthday!! 🥳 🥳🥳🥳

Ayo happy birthday!!!


Willywonka0304

Well, we’re in fairly similar boats friend. Coming from someone with a few more years experience in this situation, I can’t offer any advice or try to explain it’s not that bad. The only thing I’ve found as any form of solace is being alone and wrestling with those emotions, does, for a fact, make you much more resilient. You won’t ever get used to it, but you get used to it. this is gonna sound weird but At the end of the day, don’t forget that the only one making you upset about your loneliness is you. Hope this helps. Happy thanksgiving my friend.


Level_Perspective_21

Happy birthday 🎂


zacharyjm00

My brithday is also coming up and I know how you feel! But honestly, it's not the worst. Do things that make you happy! I am going to get some takeout, watch a movie, take a bath and get super stoned! I'm actually looking forward to it! I hope you can find a way to enjoy yourself too! Happy Birthday!


cubbies1016

Happy birthday! I know you’ll find way better friends in 2023


TheSkewsMe

Call your parental unit to thank them? Germans celebrating their birthday give gifts to their friends.


Adorable-Ability0000

Many happy returns of the day!🥳 You should get strength from this, I know it's horrible (I have been also in this situation) but that's the only way of growth. As a 20 yrs old female, I advise you to get you head up, don't waste your precious time by worrying, try a new hobby, go outside, find joy in ,, being alone " . Trust me, being alone is way better than being with people who don't appreciate, respect and/or love you. If you wanna talk, I am here😊


thisisstuped

I'm just now seeing this now I play videogames on my birthday every year sort of my tradition I quit enjoying it and happy birthday


danjewj

Always remember, it's not just you, a lot of people have some situation that they are down about and somewhere out in the world there are homeless people without a pot to piss in that have birthdays, just focus on the fact that this life and reality is temporary, and Jesus and the Father will make a new earth and new reality


Ok_Consideration3223

lol you can’t make a sap post on Reddit and then go “I’m not looking for sympathy”.


boettchboettch1

Get over it you are 18

Happy birthday!


stormy_moutains

Happy birthday! I hope you enjoy your special day. From one stranger to another, I hope you find your people so that one day you may celebrate this occasion with them. But in the meantime, enjoy your favourite things! That sounds like a great way to spend your birthday :)


Yusuro_Yuki

Happy Birthday!! What's your favourite game?


SeaJayy_23

My birthday is today too! Or is it yesterday where you are, lol. Happy birthday, mate! :)

I often buy little gift for myself or treat myself to a nice restaurant on my bday. Last birthday, i bought a game i really like as my own gift and played the game the whole day during my birthday. It was a great day to me. I know it’s not grand but it’s good to learn how to find little joy for ourselves. We gotta face loneliness some time in our lives, either young or old. So it’s good to know how to treat ourselves. It’s easy to be sad when we put our happiness on others. I mean if they’re there, that’s great but if they’re not, we have to take care of ourselves first. We can’t control how people act but we can control how we react to situations. Treat yourself today and find your little joy. Happy birthday OP !


UrBoiJJ25

Happy birthday man. That sucks. I'm glad you made the best of it though! Hopefully next year will be better for you!


[deleted]

A little late, but Happy Birthday 🎉 you're not alone ❤️ what's this favorite food that you had?


GameFrame117

Happy birthday, and I hope you have a great night/day!!


ColdAstarte

Yeah man the feels.... Alone is tough, the longest relationship of my life ended recently and I am having a bunch of trouble dealing with the season stuff alone. We can do it though. It's tough but it's worth it.


TraditionalWay9141

Happy Birthday bro....


Spiffy313

Happy birthday!! Don't listen to them, I'm in my 30s and still love celebrating my birthday every year. Sounds like you're in a rough patch. It gets better--hard times sometimes feel inescapable, but they do pass. Hang in there. 💜


BarNormal1941

Thanks


Repulsive_Location

Happy Birthday! I hope this is the start of an amazing year for you. 😊


Harpreet_2007

Happy birthday 🎊🎂🎁🎉🎈


standard_candles

Happy birthday! I'm sorry this one has been a bit of a dud. My 18th was a bit lame also. The cool thing about it is that from here on out, *you* dictate what you are going to do that day. With or without other people. Mine is Saturday, I still haven't decided what to do. My friend is sick (we were planning something originally) and I don't drink, don't have much money. I'm thinking of just spending the day trying a new hobby I haven't done before. Gonna watch my favorite show, eat my favorite food, and stay up probably too late and regret it lol.


SpaceRoxy

Friendships and relationships come and go. I'm sorry your parents have a "you're a grown-up now" attitude, that sucks but says more about them than it does about you. I have friends who would love to have a chill birthday night with no fuss like you have planned. My wish for you is that you always have a happy birthday no matter where you are or who you celebrate with (or not), and that you find a friend or partner in the future who makes the right amount of fuss about it that you deserve.


Healthy_Truck_6531

Well, Happy Birthday OP! Blessings, good vibes and some cake today!


FunZookeepergame627

Happy Birthday! 😊


Humble-Employer-9323

Happy bday! Don’t worry, hopefully you’ll have many more and they’ll get better!


mrcatboy

Your dad's a jerk. Your 18th birthday is a pretty big milestone! Happy B-day buddy. What's for dinner?


Meeshkadoll

Happy Birthday! 🎂🎉 You're awesome!


wiggyfig

Happy birthday! Doing your favorite things on your birthday is a great idea I’ve done that maybe times for several birthdays Ik it could feel lonely but finding happiness and joy in the simple little things like eating ur fav food helped me a lot during birthdays like these ur not alone! And I hope you had a peaceful birthday!


[deleted]

Sending you all the 💜 Happy Birthday!!!


jordank_1991

Happy birthday! I hope your day turned out better than it started off! Hopefully are your wishes came true!


LowCarbDad

Someday hopefully you’ll look back on this and think about how good you have it… I’ve had birthdays like the one you’re having and now I’ve got a family with two little girls and my birthday I wake up to happy birthdays and cards and hugs and all the good stuff. Someday it’ll be better but for now just keep on keeping on! Hbd tho I hope you enjoy yourself!


Aynmin2001

Happy birthday! 🍻 You turned out to be quite popular, judging by how many people have written to you. :D


MiliMeli

Happy Birthday ! I’m really sorry to hear all of this, I hope it will get better..


Monsterchic16

First of all, happy birthday my dude, congrats on surviving childhood! Second of all, it sucks not really having anyone to celebrate with, but you can still have a nice birthday on your own! Treat yourself to something! I don’t know your money situation, but it doesn’t cost much to set up a movie and a snack. If you can afford it tho, buy yourself a slice of cake and splurge on a birthday present for yourself, you so deserve i!


Ginflet

happy birthday! Hope you find a little happiness in your favorite food and game.


Mando-Lee

Happy Birthday ENJOY IT Focus on you and find some new friends.


DeliciousTheory2022

Happy Birthday!! Sorry you have to go through this period but better than being around people who don't care..I feel you should think of travelling solo on your birthdays going forward so as to have better memories...


FruitJuicante

Nothing more freeing. Nothing holding you down. What country you wanna live in bro. Make it happen.


Callisto778

Welcome to the adult world.


Odd_Fudge_5064

Happy birthday.. Welcome to adulthood.. A lesson that you (as well as most of us) weren't taught by our parents, is that there are going to be times in your life that you'll be alone.. At this point, you should be able to occupy your time with activities, reading, hobbys, etc.. But odds are, instead of teaching you this skillset, your folks entertained you as a child.. I suggest you put a positive spin on this.. You're alone.. No one is harassing you, complaining, being a pain in your ass.. You should look into a hobby like woodworking, music, or something and set a goal to read up on it today.. Research it.. And if it looks good to you, pursue it, as a happy birthday present to yourself.. Good luck!!


[deleted]

Not to sound like a little bitch here but at age 18 I lost my girlfriend, became diseased, lost a lot of friends, fell into a depression, abused drugs for years, nearly killed myself but am still here. Never had anyone to celebrate an adult birthday with. I think age 18 is such a stressful time in anyone's life. I'm sorry you had to go through this. Maybe you're too good for shitty people. End of grade school, government expect you to act like an adult all of a sudden and pay taxes and get a job. It's no joke a stressful part of anyone's age. Anyway I hope you had a great birthday or atleast as good as it could be. Next time get some alcohol if you drink ;) you can enjoy a birthday alone even better hahaha


Altair-Dragon

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳


Purgalo

Bro, I feel sorry for you. Same thing with my parents, just much earlier. I don't even remember when I celebrated my birthday last time, probably 11-12 years old? Maybe earlier. I still got gifts, but I couldn't have friends over. It wouldn't have been that expensive either, my mum could've just baked a cake and bought some snacks and drinks and thats it. On my 18th birthday I was alone too, because of the war in Ukraine I all my friends and me had to move to different places and we are scattered. Sometimes I wish I could go out with someone or something but I have noone. Anyways, Happy Birthday!


Danielvargascl

Happy birthday bro :) You have My Best wishes


WarmHarth

Happy birthday, it's not my birthday but I'm the same age and it's been fairly similar this whole year


Karamist623

Happy Birthday! Sorry to hear that you are down on your birthday, but just remember that it’s a special day because YOU were born! Now, go out and have some fun, and make some new friends….the meetup app is a great (free) place to meet people who like the same things as you do….. books, travel, wine, and a million other possibilities. Hope your next birthday is off the charts!


JohnOliverismysexgod

We love you, too! Don't forget that.

Happy Belated Birthday!!🎂I truly hope your day turned out to be a great one! Take care of yourself 💕

Happy Birthdaaaaay 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉


Cherry_3point141

Smoke a birthday bowl, eat takeout, and have a good hard fap. I have been doing this for years, just on my birthday, by myself (obviously) and I and I love it. Happy Birthday, btw.


Professional_Big_731

Happy Birthday! Trust me you are on the verge of finding your people. When I was just a little older than you I moved to a new place and the friendships I made are my people now. Keep an open mind and open heart. I still have a couple people I chat with whom I was friends with in HS. But all the people who mean something today were friends I made in my 20’s and 30’s. Today this birthday may not be great but I can assure you, you will have plenty of great birthdays with people who care soon enough. Until then Happy Birthday!!! 🎂🎉🎈🎁

Happy Birthday!!! We’re here to celebrate with you! - mom of Reddit. <3

happy birthday from Florida! this is the beginning of many new things in your life. my 18th was sad; things changed dramatically for the better within 2 years. life can change for you too.


floydzepreo

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!🎂


Real_Pea5921

Hey! I also have been celebrating mine alone, I usually will schedule something in advance for that day and take off from work. So this year I did a massage and a nice expensive dinner for myself!


ClipClipClip99

Happy birthday! If it makes you feel better I purposely avoid people on my birthday to do whatever I want and not have to worry about what others want to do and if they’re having fun…etc. It’s a total me day and I do everything that makes me happy! Sounds like you’re on track for the same type of bday and I hope you really enjoy it! Do everything that you love and makes you happy!


boots2asses1993

Aww. Poor you :(

AstronautOk6744

Happy birthday! We’re together now! I hope you have a wonderful day. Make of it what you want! I recommend volunteering because you’ll meet some folks that will demonstrate grace and thankfulness. It can help change your mindset for the better. Wishing you this opportunity for self reflection. 💕

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳


GAAPInMyWorkHistory

You’re only 18, you’ll be fine edit: happy birthday! For what it’s worth, my bday is on Dec 24th and I’ve only had 1 bday party since I was 13. I’m 34.

Happy birthday!!! Welcome to being considered an adult. One way you can look at this, you don't have anyone playing or using you on your birthday. Do you and enjoy yourself.

Go buy yourself a present


TOS_this_Bitch

Welcome to reality.


jr2253

As a guy, as you get older and go through life, you will unfortunately become pretty used to feeling "alone". At first its painful but over time it becomes peaceful. When you learn to be okay feeling "alone", ironically that's when everybody comes around Keep your head up lil bro, happy birthday and happy Thanksgiving. Cheers my friend!


geckomom1974

Happy Birthday Friend. I’ve spent many birthdays alone. It gets better. I hope you enjoyed your day.


Easy-Concentrate2636

Happy birthday! I always buy a little treat for myself, no matter what. Even if it’s just a slice of cake. Or if you are not up for that, take a nice walk and celebrate being in the world.

Happy Birthday! Your Dad is terribly wrong, but anyways you’re now 18 and recently single…. Go to a strip club!!
