That day again

@Lilly6 Hi Lilly6 I hope you have told our keeper of the birthdays @Shaz51 when your birthday is so that we can have a birthday party for you here on the forums :). Shaz51 organizes the best birthdays ever. I hope you are feeling a bit better this morning and that you have a kind and 'pea'ceful day ahead. Love peaxx

@Lilly6 No need to apologise. I didn’t see it as a whiny post at all, I read about someone who just needs to be seen, heard and celebrated. Not a big ask, a basic need.

Some of us find it hard to put ourselves out there. Being assertive isn’t an east ask. You sound very caring , very aware of others. Being overlooked at anytime is difficult, but around Birthday’s it’s extra hard.

Would it be possible to let one person at work know when the big day is? People often like to celebrate given the opportunity. Or start a birthday book, like @Shaz51 here. Record birthdays so hopefully, no one misses out. You might not be the only one there feeling left out . Just a thought.

Happy Birthday for the big day. 💞💞🌈🌈

Thank you @Maggie I find it very hard to put myself out there and always have. I can be assertive in most situations but generally can't when it is in relation to myself.

I'm pretty sure a list was made last year with everyone's birthday but obviously no one took notice of my name or it just wasn't checked around that time, who knows. I am not the sort of person that tells everyone it's my birthday, I just feel hurt and internalise it. Anyway thank you for your birthday wish!

Thank you @Bunniekins @and no I haven't told @Shaz51 as I haven't figured out how or where to as yet. All good. Have a lot more to worry about then my birthday so I will focus on that.

@Lilly6 can you whisper it to me and I will tell her :). Cannot have you missing out on your birthday party.

@Lilly6, when is your birthday my friend

@Bunniekins, @Maggie

June 17. I feel silly now for saying how I feel about that day. It is really not that big a deal especially at my age 😌 but thank you 💜

@Shaz51 Just tagging you to the date.

Please don’t feel silly. If it helps at all, we all love any opportunity to celebrate here on the forums, so you help us all. 💜💜💜

@Lilly6 I am a birthday avoider too.... I hate birthdays..it's is just another day..... they just reminds me of all the things that I didn't achieve and how much of a failure I am... how much dreams don't come true

when I was much younger I had a vision I would be dead by the time I was 30.... I am now almost 50 and with each year comes more disappointment .... silly I know

lovely my friend @Lilly6 , got it written down

mine is on june 25th xx

Hello @Maggie , @Bunniekins
