I don’t think it’s just about birthdays. Most people can’t believe I’d rather spend any day at home, reading or watching movies (or lateley, Ask-publicing) than being out in the world, doing things, and “enjoying” myself. The fact of the matter is, I am enjoying myself immensely. They act as if something’s wrong with me. When I go on vacation, I like to do NOTHING. Many people find that incredibly boring. So maybe it’s just an extension of that mindset, only more so because it’s your birthday.
