I am scared when my birthday comes

I don't like the idea of having a birthday.

the first reason is that i feel like i am getting older which means i am closer to death.

second reasoning is i never get any surprise from my friends even though i did surprise my friend a lot on their birthday. i want to feel being surprised even just for once.

the third reason is that i am scared people i believe they care about me forget about my birthday and makes me more depressed.

is it normal to feel like this?

    Its actually not true that you are getting closer to death. We can die at any time, so technically we are ALWAYS one instant away from death. Its only true after you die that you can analyze and know how far away you were at each time. But of course you can't do this then because you're already dead.

    I think surprises and remembering birthdays is pretty uncommon.

    Birthdays do suck. Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. But it beats not having one.

    Well the part where you said you "feel like you are getting older", newsflash, I'm the time it takes you to read this, you are getting older. We all are getting older. Instead of dwelling on the negative and originality of it, why don't you see and embrace the positives in life. You didn't statehouse age.I would guess 16-20 ?? There are so many great things You can focus on.volunteer at a good pantry, an elderly assisted livingbcenter. The residents t here could fill you full of so many amazing things they have seen,done, or been part of. Some may be old enough to have been going to school on horse and buggy and yet they are seeing the wonderful advances of technology, medicine, science. But the things they have gone thru. If people don't remember your birthday, or they are not able to surprise you, then maybe you need a different social circle of "friends". Just find ways to be positive, think positive, feel positive. Maybe you just need to get out and find hobbies. Remember "Negativity breeds Negativity". If you are going to continue to think negative, that will be what you live.
