Being alone on my birthday this year…

?
This year on my birthday Im going to be alone and I dont know how to shake the crappy heart-ache. Usually my father takes the day off so I wont be alone but since its on a tuesday this year (tommorrow) he couldnt… he took today off instead.

Im the type that normally ENJOYS being alone but there a certain few people I always want to be with… my father, a boyfriend (I dont have one right now), etc. Noone will be around tommorrow and I was okay with it since my father was taking today off until I woke up and the only thing I wanted to do (go to petsmart to get my gecko some food) he said No, he couldnt do it because he had more important things to take care of. I thought he took the day off for my birthday, not just to ignore me, refuse to let me help him with things, and leave me alone almost all day today anyway. I had been hoping he could just take me there, then come home and watch a movie and play a video game or something but he just did stuff outside all day and whenever I went out and tried to offer to help or do something he refused to let me. Now tommorrow …. I dont know. I dont want gifts or anything like that but Im just so tired of getting let down. I dont think asking to watch a movie or play a video game with someone is alot to ask on your birthday is it? I feel like such a spoiled brat, is it wrong of me to feel like this?

I know alot of you will say to contact friends but I really havent been in contact with any of them since I left high school (I was really ill one year and it totally screwed up my credits) and was homeschooled. So I really dont have any anymore….

Sounds like somebody is planning a surprise birthday party for you and are being very good about it.

I’m so sorry! That sucks! And, no, it’s not too much to ask! Believe me, I can empathize with you- being let down is no fun. I would find something I like to do a LOT, or a movie I like to watch, or eat my favorite meal- do all of that and be your own birthday party!! Show yourself some love! If you don’t usually mind being alone, you probably enjoy your own company. If you are religious/spritiual- knowing that God is there for you and loves you helps- I know He’s not physically there- but the knowledge the He is watching and cares helps me sometimes. Anyway, I hope you have a great birthday full of great surprises!
