Or, as you grow up, quit caring who tells you happy birthday or not.

Pretty sure a good amount of ppl don't even like their birthday because (might differ based on culture) you're expected to throw a party, bring cake or smth to work, maybe even invite all your closest family and/or friends to dinner and pay for it etc. So yeah I don't really like my birthday.

Oof. I’ve never had to be the one buying my own cake for me office birthday or birthday with friends. Same thing with footing the bill for birthday dinner as well. Usually my friends are wanting to treat me or get me drinks. If I’m inviting everyone over then ya I’m probably footing the bill, or someone usually offers to bring sides or grab some pizzas for the party.

Exactly, or obviously realize the people you have to remind simply don’t care.

Yeah. I fundamentally don't understand adults who make a big deal about their own birthdays.

Based on most comments in this thread…

Real LPT: people don’t care about their own birthday. Everyday is special day if you carpe diem.

I agree with you, really don't want too much attention on my bday, for the most part I'm in the "it's just another day" group. But my girlfriend, and some other friends of mine still love to have people wish them a happy one, doesn't have anything to do with growing up I'd say.

Birthdays were fun as a kid because they often had some priviledge or life event tied to them. As an adult that doesn't happen anymore and I don't get any sort of emotional charge from people making a fuss over me. Most years I have to be reminded I have a birthday coming up.
