Yep.
I know people who have more than one "celebration" even if it's not for a milestone year, but I HAD to do something for my 18th last year (it's sort of a cultural thing). Otherwise I see celebrations as useless as it's just another day in your life, so celebrate life everyday. |

OMG YES
I swear I hate clapping, people mumbling, shouting and sometimes babies crying especially in restaurants. |

| I have a phobia of attention in general, I find being sung happy birthday quite stressful, perhaps your phobia of the song stems from that? It could well be. On my first birthday we had a party at home with all the family and at a point i fell asleep. When it was time to cut the cake, i thought i'd... |

Yep, as I am afraid that if i go out, i will bump into someone who might know and they might unintentionally scare me off by singing 'happy birthday to you'. I have a literal phobia of that song.
Otherwise i love receiving money and birthday calls/posts on facebook.  |
