I'm right there with you. I hate birthdays...they always depress me. My problem, though, is that I dislike the thought of aging.
 
Yeah birthdays really are only a fun event when you are a kid. Your friends would come over for a party and everyone would make a big fuss. You'd have some cake and ice cream and open presents. And you didn't care about being another year older because you were still so young.

Now a birthday for me consists of going to work followed by a dinner with a few friends that congratulate me on getting another year older. Somehow its lost the luster it once had.

Yes i thank its the aging part too!
how did the depressed association start for me???.
 
In the last few years I've noticed lots of people I know have birthday parties thrown by their friends, and I realized nobody has thrown me a party since I was 6. That's what depresses me.
 
I typically don't even realize it's my birthday until someone calls to tell me. I haven't really cared about them since I was a little kid.

Awwww, LOL! Don't be depressed, we'll throw you a kick-ass party! :imthedj:

And well, I never cared much about how old I was until I got into my thirties... and hey, 35 is the new 25 right? RIGHT? 😀

It sucks gettin' older, but no use getting depressed about it... enjoy your 20's while you can and just try to enjoy life as it comes 🙂

Right on. Let me know what you need?

Birthdays do not bother me. Aging does bother me. I am generally not a vain person. I looked at my dad a few days ago and realized he if 71. In just over 35 years I will be his age. The first 35 years went by before I could blink. The only thing I can say for your depression is to take each day as it comes. Take everything life gives you, Examine and learn from it. Pick up the good parts and throw away the bad ones once you have learned all lessons. Laugh at everything you can and see the humor in life not the things that bring us down. If you need a friend, I am here for you. Just send me a PM. It is nice to have someone to talk to.


Best Wishes,
Tom
 
dude, 26 is young, but maybe bdays are depressing in general. I'm going to be the "Big 4-0" in January 2010, and I'm not looking forward to it.

My grandfather used to say "What's the alternative" about getting older. He had a good outlook, as he lived until nearly 80, and was healthy for most of that time.

Hmm, maybe because another year has gone by and you haven't found the perfect pair of feet to tickle/worship yet? Unless you already have someone in which case you can ignore the previous comment lol.
 
There are many reasons why this might be. I don't feel much different, though I feel like life is passing me by in a very jinxed way!

28 and shot to hell! 😀
 
Well, I can say that I'm 47 and would love to be 26 again, and I can recall the time I told an elderly lady I was 35 and she said "Oh, you're a baby," but that won't help you because the way you feel is the way you feel and that's a very involuntary emotional phenomenon, not something easily reasoned with. But what I can say is that there is an art to making peace with the fact that time passes, and an art to making peace with where you are in your life regardless of how it compares with anything you might think to measure it by, something I'm working on and have somewhat mastered, and something I hope you are able to as well.

I would also recall that, when I turned 40, I was conscious of the fact that the ability to turn 40 is a luxury not everyone gets. Carol Burnett's daughter Carrie Hamilton, whom I had always liked when I saw her on TV and whom I could have met in person because we both frequented the same music bar in New York for a while, and whom I therefore felt as if I knew, had just died of cancer in her late 30s. I think the knowledge of that helped me to be grateful that I was having a 40th birthday as well as to be sorry that Carrie didn't have one.

I can think of a way to cheer you up on your birthday. 🙂
 
i was cool with birthdays until 25. at 25, i started worrying about all the things i don't have but should, haven't accomplished but should, etc. i know it's a stupid way to look at it. 25 is young. and alot of the benchmarking i do is off my friends, who at the same time might not be employed or have plenty of other issues.

That said, I turn 26 next month and I'm worried that anxiety will only increase. Closer to 30 than 20. So i can definitely relate. just have to try to ignore the number and live one day at a time in a way that makes you happy i guess..

This, in a nutshell. I will forever view myself as a young, 20-something man. I had the most fun of my life during those years. At 31 and counting, I realize that I can never have that back. But good memories, for sure.

Like most people, I also dislike the thought of aging, especially since I've so little to show for my 36 years of life (never had much of a social life, never had a girlfriend, only just started my career, etc.) But I think what I dislike even more is the idea of growing old alone. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy my independence, and suddenly having someone in my life would feel really weird (it would certainly mystify me). But I get the feeling that I'm going to be quite lonely when I grow older, possibly even die alone, and that scares the hell out of me.
 
26? You're still young in my eyes. 😱
And don't think of it as aging. Think of it as living. 🙂 You've still got a full life ahead of you, so there's nothing to be depressed about. 😀 Maybe if you go out and do things you're yearning to do, then you won't feel it as much. ^_^ Relax, enjoy life, there's no rush. 😎
 
You turn 10,000 days old after you've turned 27. it's a more metrically-pertinent milestone than birthdays.
