I've seen a few of these birthday photos floating around and I can't quite figure out why they make me feel so bad.
Also, sad birthday feels thread.

Maybe it has to do with having a mom/family that put hours of work into trying to make her son's birthday a joyful time. But the kid it actually makes the kid more miserable than any other day of the year.
Mom takes a picture in hopes of capturing her boy happy as a result of all her work, but the camera instead captures a captive, lonely, shell of a young man.
Here's a dog because my heart can't handle any more pics of lonely humans at the moment.
>Still expecting ANYTHIG on your birthday

>>24348350
>a captive, lonely, shell of a young man
This is why I don't celebrate my birthdays anymore. I have nothing to be happy about. It's just another reminder that a whole year has passed and I'm the same sad sack of shit I was before.
>>24348133
>18th birthday
>Parents give a pencil and calendar as gifts
>they're excuse was "we don't know what to gift you"
>despite the fact that I'm not transparent in my interests
Yaaay such a great birthday ;_;
>>24348350
Fuck, it hurts reading that.
this one's pretty sad
>>24348133
>>24348442
Shit like this just looks like a cry for attention. fucking faggots.
Probably bc you see their birthday pictures by themselves with only the person taking the picture is with them. It might make you reflect that it'd happen to you, or just making you generally sad that on a person's celebration of said person's birthday that they are alone with no one's company to enjoy. Because being alone, FEELING alone is a truly horrible feeling. Validation is something every person craves, whether it's from a peer, or a loved one. And to not have that, not have an actual friend who'd wish you a happy birthday, who'd show up with presents that they'd know you love, someone to hang out with and be yourself is a horrible, crushing feeling. The birthday pictures make you wish you could pop right in, and become their friend, because deep down inside, you know what it's like to feel alone, and a part of you doesn't want that to happen to them.

>crying for attention isn't sad
>>24348133
friends never came to my birthday parties as a kid
nobody I knew in school knew my birthday
I've only had family over for my birthday but over the years, they've had stuff to do and less and less of my family came
I turned 20 a week ago and the only people I celebrated with was my parents and my sister, I guess that's good but I wish I had those big birthday bashes with all of my classmates as a kidI've really felt depressed these past 3 birthdays, they feel like regular days to me nowfuck this gay Earth
>>24348476
So what, do you try to console attention whores?
It's pathetic, especially when you're their apparent age.
>>24348476
It's sad, but not worthy of this thread. I'm 24 and haven't even bothered to try and have a party since I was like 19 maybe 20. In fact, my birthday was 11 days ago and the most human contact I had was my mom who felt bad for me and came in to talk to me in my room, I ignored her, she kissed the top of my head, then I got blackout drunk alone.
>those lace curtains
>off-brand soda
>shit-tire haircut
>that specific floor-plan, with the kitchen table next to the fridge
>the working poor
his mom rode her bike to the pay 'n pakit with the money she had from whatever was leftover from her husband's working class salary after they bought their liquor and a carton of camels.
that's why it makes you sad, OP.
>Had shit birthday parties
>The only people that came were my parents
>Even then they were "meh" about the whole thing
>Siblings who lived in the same house refused to come to the party
I-it okay I can't feel anything anymore anyway.
>>24348350

Is this bait?
My family was neglectful and abusive thanks to my mother.
Despite being the cause of everything wrong in my life and sabotaging every chance at friends I ever had, one day a year she'd pretend to give enough of a shit to blow up some balloons and set a table to act like my birth didn't ruin her life.
My 16th birthday was with my mom
No one came to my 17th birthday, mom was gone
Just hung out with friends on my 18th
My 19th birthday is coming up soon
>tfw both your parents are dead
>your siblings are just gonna give you a quick phone call
I cant wait until I turn 21 so I can drink myself to death
I'll post a birthday story for you all
>be me
>18th birthday in my senior year
>going through a really shitty time in my life
>my friend's were all getting ready for college, so they were all going their separate ways
>they were also more exclusive in their friend groups and I just sort of got left out
>playing some vidya on my computer in my room, alone
>mom comes in with a card and birthday present
>tells me happy birthday and gives me a big hug and kiss on the head
>I open the card/present (don't remember what it was) and tell her thanks
>she says she loves me more than anything else in the world
>I just kind of meh it off
>she leaves
>I reread the card
>"To anon: happy birthday! I'm so proud of the young man you've become. It feels like yesterday that I could hold you in my arms! No matter what I will always love you.-Mom"
>couldn't control myself, I immediately broke down crying with my head in my hands
>>24348586
My family isn'y abusive, but we celebrate none of our birtdays. My siblings and I saw them as just more regular days, and just kept doing the daily stuff we liked on those days like play vidya.
We didn't really care. All we gave to/got from eachother was a "happy birthday anon" an enjoyed our day like we always did.
It honestly don't understand why some of you still pretend your life's a living hell because on one designated day of the year, you have to live your life like you do all the other days of the year.
>>24348583
did you fight with your siblings? was there any logical reason they didn't go?
>>24348133
I've never celebrated my birthday. No one remembers my birthday and my parents don't even know how old I am.
>be me
>be 23
>walk out to kitchen after hiding in my room for a week (had a mini-fridge; shit was worth it)
>pass parents at kitchen table
>"happy birthday"
>tfw I forgot my own birthday
>"thanks"
>parents give me a birthday card
>open it, "Happy 19th birthday"
>close it, "I'm 23."
>"oh... you should have told us!"
>"here's some cake, it's your favorite"
>look over and see coconut cake... it's my dad's favorite
>just turn right the fuck around and go back to my room and hide again
After years of this happening over and over, I'm numb to it and don't even care.
>tfw had parties like these until i was 19.
>now got some close friends and they want to celebrate my 21 birthday but i can't give a shit about it anymore.
>tfw i told them that i just dont like celebrating my birthday
Sometimes it happens way too late
>>24348684
Completely agreed. Me and my mother hardly celebrate any holidays.
When I turned 18 I told my mom I hated going to family gatherings for holidays, and I think almost every member of our extended family are ass holes. So now we just stay home, drink coffee, and laugh about how much we can't stand holidays and all the stress of the holidays.
Honestly way happier. I never enjoyed celebrating holidays.
>>24348729
My parents still celebrate holdiays, though, but at other relatives' house. When I was younger, they would have to drag my siblings and me to those family event because we would just rather be home and play vidya/with friends/watch TV like we did everyday.
Now they just go by themselves.
>>24348697
No, no one in my family ever genuianely cared about me or gave a shit about me. Then again half of the people in my family are legit retarded or autistic so idk.
>>24348133
Sad? To you maybe, I have 2 photos of 2 different birthdays, my smile looks sad but it's because that is the best smile I can pull off.
My mother asked me to invite my friends and I told her okay and really didn't ask anyone from my class except the other loser kid.
Other loser kid couldn't make it, but I got a fucking PS2 that day.
I wished I was even more lonely cause my elder sister wanted turns on it.
I wish people throw me birthday parties now:
>presents
>favorite food
>cake
>people not being mean to you
Fucking robots looking for sadness in everything.
>>24348651
>be me
Fuck off reddit faggot
This one gets me everytime.
>>24348849
Holy shit, Okay I am closing this thread. How the fuck do people hang out on this board
>>24348849
you can feel the autism and loneliness. =[
>>24348865
Because we find it relatable senpai, it makes us feel less lonely
>>24348849
oh man that's depressing as fuck.
>>24348915
Everybody is lonely so at least we know we're not alone
>>24348849
>>24348865

>>24348938
There was a good ending to this one guys! Internet found Julias and wished him happy birthday, pretty sure he got a few friends out of it, from what I heard.
>>24348849
my eyes are legit teary. I almost never cry.
>>24348133
co to kurwa polak? hop cola?
>>24348971
where's the proof? I Googled and nothing comes up from this guy
>>24348971
>friends out of pity
Fuck that shit
>>24348992
I got no proof but some anon apparently went to highschool with the guy, when the picture was taken he had recently turned his back on gang life and drugs, and had no sober/regular friends
>>24348992
It was in a Leddit thread, I'll have to dig for it to see if I can find it.
>>24348782
Holy shit how new are you, junior?
>>24349017
>>24348992
It was Julius Mvogo, and #happybirthdayjulius where it came out. /b/ had a big thread about it.
>>24348133
Haven't celebrated my birthday since I was like 10, 19 now.. Every few years my parents would surprise me and bring me a cake, no friends to eat the cake with though.
I never really thought about it, never gave a fuck, but for some reason these pictures give me the feels.
>>24348651
>be me
>18th birthday in my senior year
>going through a really shitty time in my life
>my friend's
*friends
Also, stopped reading at friends. N ornie butch.
I told myself my last year my next birthday would be different.
It wasn't.
>>24348350
It is not okay to make me feel like that, anon.
And I thought my birthday yesterday was uneventful, now I'm glad it was just neutral and not miserable.
>>24349017
>high school
Okay its his 25th bday
>gang life and drugs
Hmm...no tattoos. Jazz music festival very gangster. Living at moms house more gangster proof. Yeah I'm sure ex gang members ask people to come to their birthday at their moms house
>>24348133
I'm 27 I think I had one birthday party for my 5th birthday and the rest of the time I got a card and money and my grandmother made a buffet for a the family and we had a cake + candles.
Lot of motherfuckers get the impression this is strange and makes you a fucking loner or something fact of the matter is parents aint got time for throwing parties for their brats....trust me I know...I'm a fucking father now.
>>24349330
Yeah... The difference between American negros and blacks who have recently immigrated from Africa is night and day.
>>24348849
>hard working blue collar dude
>no friends
Fuck man, that's depressing. Looks like an honest and nice guy. Besides the autism.
Today is my birthday and I'll spend all of it playing video games. Like every other day.
>>24349785
Happy Birthday, anon!
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
>>24349819
Thanks man, I appreciate that. One nice gesture makes a big difference. My day is already better.
shit this thread....
one time me and a few friend effectively prevented this from happening
>be a wageslave at target
>one coworker is having a bday party soon and invited some of us
>dude is very temperamental and a dick sometimes
>two other coworkers who i would chill with often at the time and i talk it over and decide to go just to see how it is
>get there around 30 minutes late
>dude lives in a nice pad
>go to the front door
>seems ecstatic to see us
>it was just him, his cousin, and his mom there
>ohshit.jpeg
>we decide its best to stay
>play vidya, grill, go get ice cream, and then toss Frisbee around for few hours
>he seemed happy
if we hadnt shown up just family woulda been there, glad we did t.b.h.
Birthday is the worst day of the year
>18th birthday
>go to work
>bring in a cake i baked
>"anon why do you have a cake?"
>"It's my birthday and i wanted to do something nice so i baked a cake for everyone to eat"
>"oh thats nice anon"
>15 people work there besides me
>no one eats the cake or wishes me happy birthday
>On my way home with cake i see a homeless dude
>give him cake
>he asks me why and sings happy birthday to me when i tell him
>i ate cake with a homeless guy for my 18th
i just want to make people happy
how come this one isn't sad
>>24350236
he is attractive so he wouldn't have had a hard time at school, he doesn't need to pretend to be okay because he is okay, there is no pressure for him to be happy on his birthday like the other photos, because he is happy already
>>24350255
Johnny Depp's struggles with depression are actually quite public.
>>24350282
I figured that was Johnny Depp, but I wasn't sure.
>>24348992
Here you go.
>fuck this robot
Am I the only one getting even more depressed on birthdays? I am 21 and I didn't celebrate the last 6 birthdays. I cant even write about it im sorry
I think you need to get over the birthday nonsense once you are older than about 12. Same goes for the friends bs, that's something from high school that you should grow out of.
>>24350474
>he actually believes this
how sad do you have to be to actually believe this yourself. everyone cares about birthdays, most people have friends. its ok anon, you dont have to pretend to not need any of this
>>24350449
wait till you're 31 and handholdless loser
>>24349785
I'm probably a bit late now but happy birthday dude
>>24350497
No no, you just think this.
I'm older than you, much older, and things are not like that. I see desperate young people online that haven't figured it out yet.
As you get older, the birthdays and friends thing are not needed.
Birthday was last week
Went to London for the night with a few lads, fucked a hooker they got for me (they told me the day after, I thought I'd legit pulled a 10/10, made me feel bare happy)
Did some sniff and the 10 of us had a giant fucking buffet fry up, best day ever to be honest
>>24350175
Just fuck my shit up with this story senpai I hope your birthdays after that are/were better
>>24349785
happy birthday anon
*tips fedora*
>>24350538
of course its not needed, but you it makes your life so much better
>>24349785
Happy birthday, fellow brobot
kek to death reading this holy fuck who gives a shit about birthdays? fucking pathetic i never had birthday parties after that guy in the giant pickachu costume forced me to sit on his lap
>>24348498
If you aren't baiting, you have problems man. These are not the bad guys who make your life worse. These are people who know what it feels like to be completely unwanted.
The fact that they're getting your scorn must mean you hate every single thing no matter how harmless.
Have a think about that.
>>24349785
Happy birthday man. I hope you don't rage quit
>>24348592
Fuck man.
My Dad died in 2014 and my Mum in July this year.
I love my little sister but I live literally 2000km away from her because of work.
It's a damn sad feel.
>>24348592
If you come back to this thread later, happy early birthday, anon. Hope your bday wishes come true
>>24350236
Because the cake says love fur, so it subconsciously makes you think of a qt vagina with just neat soft hair.
>>24348715
i feel sorry for your parents
>>24350689
why the fuck does it say love fur
Man, unintended feels in this thread. I love my parents, they're great people. Im the fuckup who ruins everything for them. I feel so sorry for you guys who never got to experience loving parents. Being a Shit son is the worst feeling I've ever known
>anon, do you want to invite some friends over on your birthday?
>>24348133
Never had my birthday celebrated even though my parents are fairly rich, they just couldn't find the time
>>24348849
>cake, june 10
>party, june 14
Did they let the cake stand in the fridge for 4 days? Isn't the cream going to harden and turn icky or something in that time?
>you will never have a thrash metal birthday party
>>24350758
its ice cream, i dont think you keep ice cream in your fridge
>>24349017
>berkeley jazz festival
>gang life
>>24350780
sounds stupid first but this could actually be true. he probably comes from a poor family, threw away all his gangsta stuff and this was all he had left that looked normal. god this is so fucking horrible
