Only cuz of covid. This is my 2nd lockdown birthday in a row so not really feeling excited about it.
Yes the last time I celebrated my birthday was in early 20s because my friends wanted to. I’m in my late 20s now and I never plan my birthday. Just spontaneously go out for a meal with a small group of 2-4 people and I love it.

I don't make a big deal of my birthday. Last time we did something big for my husband's or my birthday was for milestone birthday (30 was my last big one, 40 was his last big one).
My birthdays recently have just been dinners out with my husband. I think milestone birthdays are worth the hullabaloo but other than that a nice dinner is sufficient
Same here. My birthday is a week away. Thanks to another lockdown, will not be able to meet friends or travel or do anything outdoors. Feels pretty miserable

🙋♀️ a week away 0 plans !
I am usually excited for the day but this year none 🥺
I took a solo trip to Florida for an extended weekend last year, that was my last trip before pandemic hit hard ! Marks a year of No travel no big celebrations😭
The older I get the more I want to forget it. As if by being in denial, the clock stops ticking. Just tuned 40, gaaaaahhhh!

I plan for big ones now and don’t worry about the rest. Turned 40- Did an amazing weekend adventure trip with friends and family (hiking, cycling, hot springs, nice dinners, spa, the whole thing). Now planning for 50- weekend at Dunton Hot Springs in Colorado with friends and family (I have to plan for this one now because $$$).
But turning 42? Let’s order pizza and watch a movie.
As I get older these don’t matter as much. I’m not upset about aging at all but I prefer to be low-key unless it is a milestone birthday. But feeling like you can’t get together with friends would be hard (vs choosing not to). I hope you can at least plan a nice day for yourself and treat yourself to the things you love.
My birthday is in 2 days and I have absolutely no plans :(
