Re: finding birthdays difficult
Today is actually my 23rd birthday, so I know how you feel
When I was asked what I wanted to do, I said that all I really wanted was to be alone. Maybe have a nice dinner and watch my favorite show on TV. The family wouldn't have it; I was allowed to do that for lunch, but now we are getting ready to go to a fancier restaurant for dinner. It doesn't help that it is also my twin brother's birthday (obviously) and that's what he wanted to do, so of course I have to accept that.
But birthdays have gotten to that point where they're not a lot of fun. I got two happy birthdays in person (not even my dad said anything) a bunch of Facebook and text messages - which is great, but despite being a Leo I don't really like the extra attention! I didn't get any presents this year and have just been kind of tired all day so it doesn't even really feel like a birthday to me. They've just kind of lost their spark for me.
I think the best thing for you to do would be to compromise with your friends and family and maybe go out to a quick lunch or something and have the rest of the time to yourself. It is your birthday, after all, but they just want to celebrate with you because they love you
