How to spend your birthday alone. 

Hi my lovely peaple! I didn't make it clear in the video, but I do have THE MOST amazing friends that I am super grateful for every single day. These are just some of my very personal and nuanced thoughts and experiences that i'd share in case there was someone out there feeling the same way! Sending love!

From being sad over being alone where no one really remembers your special day.....to being ok....to finally able to love and celebrate it alone! It's a journey :)

I kind of realised how we all are trying hard to make our birthdays a "Happy Birthday"... Let's be honest we all searched for this video and RU-vid didn't suggest us by itself...A heartful Happy Birthday people.🌼

December 24th 12:00am Happy Birthday to me! I’m 23 🥹 I’m alone but I am thriving and grateful I’ve made it here. Another chance to get things moving on my own terms 💐 thank you for this video.

It hurts so bad when you want a grand birthday celebration but your parents don't really care, friends just care to wish amd those who really care are too far from you... No celebrations and isolated feeling hurts so bad to persons like me ☺️💔

Tomorrow its my birthday 🎂 as I'm turning 30 an only child I will be spending the day all alone.. I will spend my time with my God 🙏 because I learned from my 20s that I gave up all my energy to people cared about them but the person I hurt 💔 the most was myself my inner self in this process I forgot about my individual self 💕 so now its all about me 🎉 and I always thank universe 🌌 for making me so strong 💪

This is great! I’m the “party planner” in my family when it’s someone’s birthday, I always bake the cakes, Decorate, make hand-made gifts along with their other other ones, draw ballons, hearts, and cake and confetti on their birthday on the calendar, and try to buy them everything they want, (within reason) but bc they don’t do all these extra stuff, my birthday feels less important than theirs Happy 14th birthday to me, ig And happy birthday to whoever sees it!

Tomorrow is my 17th birthday and I'm all alone So I'm here to get some tips to be happy alone Thank you so much❤️

Today is my 21st birthday but as usual i am going to be celebrating it alone. This year i have decided i ought to make it meaningful for myself. So i booked a karaoke room and i will be being going for a meal by myself. I never had any birthday parties in my life and as far as i could remember, i didn’t have any positive recollections about my birthday. They’re either spend alone, crying and worst still , My mom never remembers them. I figured only i could hold myself responsible for my happiness. Be selfish guys. You deserve to be the happiest person on earth. Never let people who are not deserving to walk over you.

today, i turned 20, and i just wanted to say thank you so much for making this video! it made me feel more appreciative for what i have and showed me how i can celebrate my birthday with gratitude! much love

So sweet sixteen isn’t so sweet today, but I’ll try to appreciate myself more and become happy without having to make a big deal of it

today was my 18th birthday, felt absolutely alone, did nothing except stay at home and no one did anything for me it hurts the most knowing people/family didnt put any effort in as i expected even wishing me and treating me w kindness and giving me love and attention wouldve been nice

I feel like we all end up here a bit lost on our birthday :') Actually you're right, it's fine to celebrate your birthday, your life on your own. Happy birthday!

you have no idea how precious you are to me, right here right now when i am experiencing this birthday alone, i really appreciate the love and energy you spreading in here, you brought me to tears

So today is my 13th bday..teenage! And it's late night.. I surprise everyone on their bdays..and got very miserable when they didn't surprise me.. So i decided to celebrate by myself! Stay strong 💜 Enjoy Your own company 💜💜

I’ve just always felt so misunderstood and alone… even though I have friends and family who love me I never really felt accepted or appreciated. Please tell me I’m not the only one🙂

I started spending my birthday alone when I turned 39. Absolutely best decision. As a mom of school aged kids, and since my bday is directly after Christmas, I'm generally worn out that time of year. Thankfully my hubby understands this and fully supports me going away for my bday. This coming year I plan to spend it alone again at a local hot springs resort. The real treat for me aside from being alone, is reflection and prayer time I get to spend with my creator. There are no disappointments since my focus isn't others noticing me, It's on self-care and recharging my batteries.

it’s about to be my 16th birthday and my mom always makes fun of me about “ having no friends” and it’s taken a slight toll on how I want to spend my birthday. This video helped

I've been feeling so sad today, and I really needed this. I came home from university in hopes of at least spending my birthday with family, but I get here and my family is in the middle of a massive fight, and I'm just trying to keep my head down and avoid it. Maybe I'll have a party for myself when I get home... and I like these ideas a lot. Thank you ❤

Tomorrow'a my birthday, I searched "Birthday Alone Activities" because I was dreading tomorrow and was super sad about it. No more of that, Thanks to you and all the comments on this video. It's gonna be a good one!

I RELATE TO EACH AND EVERY WORD IN THE INTRO

Just wow, it's so shocking how I could relate to it so much. Was really sad for this birthday but now you have made it a lil' better, thanks for that. Lots of love! 💛

Every year I find my Birthdays so hard. Im 25 years old on 19th August . Not having any friends or partner around me is so hard , especially on my Birthday . It the most depressing and lonely time for me.😢each year the same I tell myself “ will it get better ?”

My birthday is on Sunday, my girlfriend just left me. My 3 friends can’t hang, and I work half of the day. I’m a pretty positive guy but this one’s gonna hurt

I’m single and living my best life!!! I decided to go on a solo trip to Disney World this year for the first time and it was the really worth it. I had the BEST time and I can’t wait to go back next year!!! I thank God for the things that I have and what he’s blessed me with, instead of feeling sad for the things that I don’t have. Have fun…it’s great for your mental health!!! 🙏🏾📖✝️🔥🕊❤️🥰🥳🎉🎊🎈🛍🍾🥂🍹

my 20th birthday is tomorrow, all my "friends" aren't exactly my friends, i know i have my family but they remind me that i have no true friends...at least i have myself and i have to appreciate that even if its hard, and it's terrifying to turn 20, not with "teen" at the end...but heres to hoping i can do it

My birthday is tomorrow. 19th of October and im turning 20. Im a little bit down, but i will try make the most out of it.🥺🥺

I turn 19 on January 3rd, and I’ve got really no one who would want to spend the day with me or have a “party” or even go to a restaurant with… so I’m gonna take the day to spend on my own. Maybe leave at midnight and return the next day in the morning. I still live with my parents and younger sister, and i think if I disappear for a day they’d be concerned but I’m an adult and they won’t have a party anyway. Might as well have one myself…💖

🎉❤I spent the day by myself for this years birthday ….my boyfriend had to work 🥳…I took road trip and even went out to eat by myself at a fancy restaurant

I've been always alone, I always had the dream of a big birthday party w gifts and love letters and cake but no one cared about me or my birthday so I stopped caring about it too. So this year I'm turning 23 and I want to celebrate my birthday on my own, I'm looking for ideas so I can get a budget and save money until november. ❤

My birthday always falls on a weekday. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to take some time off around the time but it's not always possible. I really appreciate this video and I love your tips! You've got such a wise yet cute personality!

I dont know why you saying, “Happy Birthday” at the end has me all teary eyed. Thank you for this video, it has helped me today when I know I’m prone to get sad at some point. 💜 -Ruby

Ok im taking advice to spend my birthday without crying

Happy birthday 😊😊 Believe me you are very very very special. You need no one to realise you that how much special you are 🥰❤❤

I always tell myself, congratulations you survived this last year, great job 😂😂😂😂😂😂

For the past two years I’ve been spending my birthday by myself which it’s my choice and I enjoy it. I use to invite family and friends to my bday dinner but I do it solo now.

Tomorrow is my birthday so I searched it ❤️❤️❤️❤️...love the words about being adult

🎉❤it's my 39th Birthday today...sad but it's reality..all alone on your most special day...but God is celebrating with me for He is the one who give's me life again today...So Happy Birthday to me...9/9/24

Today is my birthday 🎂 and I'm going on a day trip alone and I think I'm happy to be alone too. I like your videos 😊

I have my birthday on 4 April. 2 weeks ahead , and I'm making up my mind to celebrate it on my own , all by myself. Advance happy birthday to me, I'll be 23 .

17 alone but not lonely

5th August,2024 Happyyyyy birthdayyyy to me!!!!♥️ I love myself♥️ And I will make sure to do special things with myself every single day!💕 And i promise myself that I will work very diligently from tommorow onwards for my goal!✨

I love this ❤️✨. Thanks for your openness & sharing, I bet there's someone listening that could really use this. Haha I know what to do if I ever get my birthday blues 😂💛

I'm turning 18 today and it's pretty much a big milestone in a life time yet I have literally no one to celebrate with, my parents don't remember my special day, I can't even afford a birthday cake to blow the candles. Feeling really lonely and isolated...

Today is my 14th birthday. My parents didnt even care. Either my friends. Ive been crying for the 6th time today

Happy birthday to anyone watching this video alone on their birthday like myself. May God bless you and have a wonderful day ! 🎉❤

Happiest birthday to me❤🎉the queen always slayinggg🎊💗😌🎂

I’ll be celebrating my birthday alone on Wednesday I have some plans but just looking for more ideas.

4 august is my 18th birthday and I am going to be alone my 17th birthday I was alone too but then I was sad now I want it to be a happy birthday

Dec 6 th today i turned 17...as you can guess I'm a student when i went to school today none of my friends remembered my bdy so the dumb me thought they're acting and they're going to give me a surprise bdy party with cake and all so i acted like normal.When i reached home my parents asked me where is your friends? Aren't they coming to surprise you and my sibling rang our house calling bell and pranked me by saying my friends had camed to surprise me he thought it was fun bcz i acted like i don't care. My family kept making fun of me upto this time it's 9:42pm now. To clear things let me tell you: 1.My family doesn't celebrate bday's ( the only bdy they celebrate is my younger sister's I'm a middle child) 2.i have a friend group of having 5 people and we together gaved surprise party for eachother for their bday's.but mine bdy was never celebrated. 3.my house is near the school so it's easy for them to give me surprise unless like them..their house is far from my home&school so i received many scolding from my parents for coming late to home after giving them surprise party and all( i camed after 8.30 pm) 4.Last year was also same..but they told me last year the reason they don't give me a party is bcz i told them only one day before my bdy that tomorrow is my bdy 5. This year we promised we will celebrate everyone's bdy so that's why i waited:( Anyway for the 17y/o me I'm promising you that i will never hang out with them and concentrate on studies also expect less from people

On July 2 is my birthday and my parents told they are not gonna celebrate my birthday it's kinda sad😭

Today is my 17th birthday no one wish me.... Happy birthday to myself ❤🎉

Spending my birthday alone. Terrible things happened around my birthday too. I haven’t even had the energy to reply to the texts or FB posts

Today is my birthday and I am living alone in a foreign country- this was perfect for my mood!! THANK YOU❤🎉

Watching this video on my birthday in 2024💔

Today is my birthday.. I HAVE turned 17 and I only received birthday wishes.. And I am pretty sad but okay now I know how to celebrate myself from uu ❤❤thankuu😊❤

I'm celebrating my 16th birthday on Monday.But I can't celebrate it in a proper way, because of war in Ukraine( Your video really helped in uplifting my mood.Thank yooooouuuu 🥺🥰 Hope,that 16 will be a really sweet age🤞

Date : 2nd of February Day : Friday Time : 12:00 AM Ummm... Happiest birthday to me! Now, i'm 15. Yea, i don't have any friends with whom i can celebrate my birthday... but it's totally fine. Mayeb, i can spend time with my family and i can focus on my boards. It is a golden opportunity to spend time for myself, asking some few questions about life, goals etc. at the end i will say that "Yes, sometimes being alone is fine". Again, Happiest birthday to me! 🤎

I just turned 18 today and I feel so lonely. My exams are going on and hence it is not possible to celebrate it. Thanks for this video

Can’t believe I’m searching this up😢 It’s my birthday today and I’m bored because my whole family is on devices, thanks for the video🙂

My 28th birthday is this saturday & I was telling my mother how I was feeling down about not having anyone to celebrate it with. Long story short, I moved to a new area with my husband & the only friends I have are the people I work with & most of them came here for a holiday & they have all left now. Anyway, I was telling my mother how I feel down about not really having people i could celebrate it with & i was like, "I'm not sure what it is i would of done even if i did have friends? I guess i could of just organised a dinner or something?" & my mum responded back with, "but why do you need people to make such a fuss about it in order for you to enjoy the day? It's not like you're turning 10 years old" When she said that it made me realise that she's right! You don't need a room full of people to cheer you on to enjoy your day! & it also made me realise that birthdays as you get older are completely different as to what they where when we where children. When your a child birthdays are the best days of your life! As you get older that magic of a birthday isn't quite the same. After talking to my mother & watching your video it has made me realise that we don't need a bunch of people to make this day special! We can make that day specail on our own. It's also made me realise that it's normal for adults to not always have people they can celebrate their birthday with.

Hi, today is my birthday and its the proper adulthood birthday that im celebrating, people have forgotten it and thats okay.. this video was what i was looking for today. Thanks so much❤️❤️

Happy belated birthday! And congrats on your dream job! 🎈🍾🥂🎉 I agree. Treating ourselves and our successes in a big/small way is so important. This is something I forget to do. I simply move onto the next goal, and it’s not a very healthy mindset. Awesome video, once again!

Hey there! Just a few more hours to that special day of mine and I'm extremely grateful to watch your video now. My birthday has always been exciting to me. Over these years,however I try to suppress my excitement, the inner child in me wishing for all the celebrations and attention cannot keep calm. I too felt the same contrast you were mentioning in the video on my last birthday. But today, just when there are few more hours to my 25th birthday, I feel it as my responsibility to make myself feel good tomorrow. Lemme tell you dear, your video has made me more confident in doing that❤ Thanks a lot!

Tomorrow is my birthday and today I found this viedo as my birthday gift 💝 Thank you so much 😊

your words were amazing, well said, keep up the good work, hello from Trinidad and Tobago.😊😊

Didn't know I'll have to learn this too😅😅

I turn 16 tmr all i wanted was to celebrate it but my family says its just another day so this helps alot bc that made me feel so worthless

Tomorrow will be my first birthday alone 🙂

Am tearing up because tomorrow its my birthday and this video has me knowing what exactly am gonna do...😚 Thank you😊😍

I can relate to everything you said . i don't even have friends so i don't have anybody to really wish we happy birthday and i'm always alone on my birthdays

Hi sis. I'm about to subscribe... done! Thank you so much for this video. I wasn't afraid to celebrate my birthday alone or anything, but the ideas are helpful. I'll be celebrating my birthday for the first time after 19 years of not celebrating, and I'll be doing it alone. I am looking forward to it.

Today is my 15th birthday and Well my grandpa passed away 10 days ago. My parents are not gonna be home for 20 days I’m pretty much alone cause I don’t have any friend. I also can’t ask anyone to take me for a trip or something so my birthday sucks cause the person I was supposed to spend my birthday with is gone I miss my grandpa and grandma Soo much

I'm spending my birthday alone... Thanks for the vid... You're cool

Just turned 21 today, big birthday. I'm having to spend it by myself today. Hopefully this video gives me some inspiration :)

Omg, I love this video so much Vashi and it's amazing to see you thrivee 💛I (Rach) had the same experience two years ago and it made me really upset that I felt sad that some of my friends forgot to wish me a happy birthday. I definitely don't want to let outside forces ruin my mood and it's amazing to see you throw a dance party for yourself and celebrate your wins! Happy late birthday and congrats on landing your dream job btw 😘

Today is my birthday Know one wish me 🖤

This was great! My friends are always so busy that we can never hang out, so I accepted that I would have to do a solo bday. This video made me very happy 😊

Girl! U inspired me. It's my bday today and u made my day lit up in someway. Also ur vedios are great!❤️

I am living abroad and spending my birthday all alone for the first time. It was a helpful video! Thanks ! :)

Yep. It's my birthday. Yep. Here I am

Just discovered your channel! It’s so refreshing! I’m an only child as well and I used to feel sad when I didn’t get many happy birthday messages. But I love how you say that we need to prioritize ourselves!! I also have dance parties all the time ❤️❤️ yay can’t wait for more videos!!

It's my birthday today and I purposely searching something like this because I'm celebrating my birthday alone. I'm an orphan, my only brother is the only person I have right now. I deactivated my socmed a couple of months ago and live really far with some of my friends. I'm having a birthday blues today but because of your video I feel a little better. Thank you so much. 😊

Mabuhay from the Philippines! I'm watching this video on my birthday. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for your encouragement. :) Keep up the good work!

To be by yourself can teach you a Lot.

Today is my birthday all alone and feels lonely. Landed up seeing your video. Thank you to remind to thank the Lord that I am healthy and alive.

Today is my birthday and I have no friends 😢

I have been spending it alone for last 6 years :,)

This year I have to celebrate my birthday alone, fewer wishes, fewer people counting down for my birthday. I'm a bit sad but your vid really cheers me up. Thank you.

Today is my bday and I was really not feeling it but I will throw a dance party and journal and reflect 😊✨💗

I stumbled across your channel and I’m in that same space. Tomorrow is my birthday feb 22 and I’m alone. Depression started to set in but I said no I refuse I will find something to do for me. Get out the house. I like your ideas and I am going to do a few of them tomorrow. Thanks and happy birthday to me.🎉 I subscribed to your channel as well.

your self love must always be stronger than your desire to be loved by others ~ happy birthday 2022

Happy 18th birthday to me

There is six more days till my birthday and nobody even cares what I want for my birthday so I decided I'll celebrate it by my own

Thank you so much for making this video. It was truly amazing and uplifting! You made me smile in so many ways and you make some very good points that I will try to incorporate into every day, not just my bday. I related to many things in this video - sometimes I just need a reminder. Your video was perfect and you are absolutely adorable! All the best to you.

hehe yeah well im thirteen and spending it alone so yay i get to do nothing especially since my parents have other plans on my birthday lol

My birthday is this week. I’m in my 40s, married with 3 children and holy god, my absolute dream is to be alone on my birthday 😂 no one needing me or asking me something or expecting something from me. ❤ it’s a journey to get to this point but, every revolution around the sun is a true gift! 💝

My friends are all busy and the week after that IM busy so a birthday party wouldn’t really work. It’s my first year without a hangout or anything but I’m getting my LICENSE LETS GO so I’m here so I can suck it up and go have a fun day

I didn’t even make a party for my bday cause I’m all alone my only friend is absolutely in another country so I want to be happy in my epical day (1st July)

Honestly, I turn today and 16 I'm writing this at 12:40 am and I feel so alone and it sucks. This is the first time that anyone doesn't remember my birthday. My parents are taking my birthday lightly this time. And the thing is that I'm trying to focus on my life more and that's why I lost my friends. So I'm all alone this birthday and I am starting to experience an adult life. Feels not so good but definitely experiencing a part of growing up. Also, Happy Birthday to anyone reading this if you have your special day today 💗
