[–]Kiresays 190 points191 points ago

I'm not gonna lie. Past 21 I occasionally forget how old I am. How terrible is that?

[–]darkevilemu 35 points36 points ago

You know how kids love birthdays because they like growing older and getting presents, and how old people hate birthdays because they're one year closer to death?

I thought that change would be gradual. Nope. When I turned 22 I was thinking, "damn, one more year of my youth is gone." (I'm American, so I still had my 21st birthday to look forward to after 18).

[–]PancakeMonkeypants 15 points16 points ago

I just turned 20 and I already can't help but visualize my life as waiting around to die. It makes it hard to sleep.

[–]Im_At_Work_Damnit 4 points5 points ago

You'll eventually get used to that feeling. It'll become background "noise" to your daily life.

[–]yoda133113 1 point2 points ago

Look at it this way. Think of everything you've done to this point. The sum total of every day of your life. You still have 2-3 more of that.

Quit panicking and enjoy life!

[–]greenalien12 3 points4 points ago

but...but that time went by so fast.

[–]obeythed 12 points13 points ago

Wait until you hit 30....the two days leading up to my 30th were the most depressing. I kept thinking, "my 20's are gone, my 20's are gone."

[–]SweetMojaveRain -1 points0 points ago

ill turn 20 next year, just live whatever you didn't do vicariously though me!

not really

but kind of though

    I actually can't remember the last time I've had a birthday party.

    It's conflicting, because I sort of want to eventually have a fun party, but the idea of having a party with me as the centerpiece makes me feel uneasy.

    [–]mowski 36 points37 points ago

    I haven't had one since I was eight (twenty-two now). Same reason - I feel wildly uncomfortable expecting people to celebrate 'me'. Hell, even receiving presents makes me want to just disappear into the ground.

    I guess what I'm saying is, I feel you. I feel you hard.

    [–]Eruanno 4 points5 points ago

    Yep, same here. Haven't had any kind of celebration since... Uhh...? I'm 22 now, and my last birthday was, thankfully, just my parents giving me some extra money and some Facebook messages saying "congrats". I get super awkward when people want to celebrate me and have parties and AAAAHH NOPE NOPE NOPE

    [–]Mr_chiMmy 2 points3 points ago

    I'm 23 and I can't remember the last time I had a proper birthday party, maybe when I was 10 or something.

    I never really wanted a birthday party, so it's okay.

    I go out drinking a few times a year and one of those are my birthday, because for some reason people like to get me drunk. Maybe I'm fun when I'm drunk, I don't know.

    [–]brianwholivesnearby 2 points3 points ago

    tell me about it.... my birthday is on christmas day. aint nobody gonna go to somebody elses house on christmas.

    [–]webtebtor 2 points3 points ago

    Having a birthday isn't about people celebrating you. It's about giving people an excuse to take time out of their busy and stressful lives to relax and hang out together. You'll be surprised how rarely the topic of your birthday will come up at your birthday party after 21. And it can be a lot of fun trying to think of a gift someone would like (and most people won't get gifts, except perhaps buying you a drink and a bar or something).

    [–]reddead0071 5 points6 points ago

    those friends must be really rich to buy the dude a bar.

        [–]ThatVanGuy 15 points16 points ago

        Me too. Also, I've forgotten my birthday about half of the time since 23 (until someone reminds me, which they inevitably do).

        [–]Beakerbite 12 points13 points ago

        I've forgotten my birthday. It's fucking strange getting a call "Congrats!", and here I am wondering what the fuck is going on.

        [–]Sentient_Waffle 3 points4 points ago

        Same. And it also started when I turned 21.

        "I'm 22. Or wait. 21. Or.. 22? I think... Let me think.. No it's 21."

        [–]dysgraphia_add 4 points5 points ago

        Shit, I did this since I was 9, I've just started to remember them.

        [–]22222222222 2 points3 points ago

        started when I was 17 or 18

        [–]DarknessFallsOverUs 1 point2 points ago

        Yeah, after a while it just becomes a number. And holidays just become another day.

        [–]sexyhamster89 0 points1 point ago

        I think I'm 24 but honestly I don't know... the past 3 years are a blur

        [–]TheFakeFrench 1 point2 points ago

        This is how people don't realize they've become 30-some years and have a huge midlife crisis.

        [–]the_polish_are_comin 1 point2 points ago

        Yeah same. I went to the casino about a year ago. When I was going in I handed my ID to the guy, and then he asked me how old I was. I thought for a second, and said 24...I was 26

        [–]EnigmasRevenge 1 point2 points ago

        Just recently turned 24 and I think to myself in the morning sometimes. "6 years ago I was 18, 6 years from now I'll be 30. I'm exactly at the middle of the hill right now. God, Why."

        [–]Davecasa 1 point2 points ago

        I used to think my parents were joking when it took them a few seconds to figure out how old they were. Now that I'm 2526, I understand.

        [–]psychroclasm 0 points1 point ago

        It's not. I have to think about it for a while when someone asks.

        "Tweeeeenty... uh... shit."

        [–]Esch_A_Sketch -1 points0 points ago

        I remember my age within a 1 year margin of error.

        [–]MayorEmanuel 0 points1 point ago

        There's no need to remember something that happened so long ago.

        [–]kamodan 309 points310 points ago

        Either you're not 21 yet, or you live outside the U.S.

        [–]massrabbler 34 points35 points ago

        Considering there are many more countries than just the US, it's quite likely.

        [–]MrTumbleweed 69 points70 points ago

        Came here to basically say this. I can't count all the lap dances and shots bought for me on my 21st!

        [–]ProbablyHatesYou 185 points186 points ago

        Six. Use both hands.

        [–]MrTumbleweed 44 points45 points ago

        [–]Cndymountain 32 points33 points ago

        Bitch please, I can count binary on my hands. 1 hand is enough.

        [–]misterfanwank 19 points20 points ago

        YOU can, but MrTumbleweed has to be reminded he can count higher than five.

        [–]Gramma42ton 15 points16 points ago

        In other news, Cndymountain was shot dead by a bunch of gang members for signing 1010 + 10 on the streets of Compton.

        [–]where_are_my_pants 4 points5 points ago

        Subtle, but I got it.

        [–]InbredScorpion 4 points5 points ago

        Want to explain it? I understand it's supposed to be 10 and 2, but I don't get it?

        [–]where_are_my_pants 4 points5 points ago

        I'm not sure but I think it's the "blood" sign. 10 with your fingers looks like a 'b'. 1 for l, etc.

        Should have been 1010001 though if it's what I think it is.

        [–]Cndymountain 0 points1 point ago

        Just checking in, in case you were wondering...

        [–]much_longer_username 1 point2 points ago

        Yeah, I learned how to do it my freshman year of high school as part of a SCUBA instruction program, really helped later on when I was being asked to do it in a networking class.

        [–]xplane80 1 point2 points ago

        You count in many bases on one hand. Binary: open, closed (25) Ternary: open, curled, closed (35) Quad: (Only if double jointed/Hypermobile) Bent back, open, curled, closed (45)

        If you use your thumb to point to each segment on your fingers that how to count in base twelve (dozenal) units on one hand and dozens on the other. This is how the Babylonians count in base 60, units on one have and the 5 dozens on the other.

        You can count hex (base 16) as well by using the 4 joints on the fingers in the same fashion.

        [–]solrac214 0 points1 point ago

        Try counting to 4...

          [–]Fhajad 8 points9 points ago

          Some states require you be 21 if there's a bar included (And what strip club doesn't) with the establishment. So you'd still have to wait.

          [–]blu9987 6 points7 points ago

          Here full nude strip clubs = no alcohol allowed = 18years.

          "titty bars" have alcohol and they don't go full nude (only topless).

          [–]errrryday 6 points7 points ago

                Actually, my 21st birthday sucked.

                A day before, my SO at the time called me to tell me she cheated on me after I moved all of my stuff to her house, which was about 50 miles away. All of my friends were busy, except for one. I was a sad sack that day, and he did the best he could to cheer me up, but he had to go to sleep for work.

                21st birthday was the worst I've had. I just got drunk off of tequila and just attempted to sleep It was nice of my friend to try though.

                [–]SamuraiJakkass86 3 points4 points ago

                To be completely honest, the "right to drink" is a pretty shitty reason to enjoy birthdays at 21+. I live in the U.S., I'm 25 - and I drink maybe once or twice a year (not on my birthday either). It's not unenjoyable, but it doesn't really do a whole lot.

                I honestly think that people overstate the value of alcohol in regards to having a good time. It's not some 'magical entertainment potion' that makes everything more enjoyable. It's not a catalyst to amazing social situations that would be otherwise impossible without booze.

                Oh well though. I've known many others who didn't care about drinking before 21, only to hit 21 and they treated it like it was the best thing in the world. I've seen the people enveloped by the drinking culture, who either swim with the fishes and drink as much as they find socially acceptable, and I've seen the elitist drinkers who turn their nose up at different kinds of beer (which I can vouch for saying tastes like what I imagine carbonated gopher piss to taste like). "This beer is so much better than that beer" (they all taste/feel like a horrible painful torture being self-inflicted on my tastebuds and stomach).

                Like I said, oh well. That's just part of a lot of peoples natural cultures I suppose.

                It's not a catalyst to amazing social situations that would be otherwise impossible without booze.

                That's actually exactly what it is.

                [–]rusemean 20 points21 points ago

                I pretty much completely disagree. Just because you don't care for it, doesn't mean the experience it provides other people is null and void.

                I'm a cripplingly shy person, and in a social situation a pint of lager is the difference between a delightful evening for me, and a misreable gut-wrenching experience. Booze absolutely is a catalyst to amazing social situations which would not be otherwise possible for me. Just because it doesn't hold true for you, who I gather is clearly some amazing, winning extrovert who doesn't need any dutch courage ever, doesn't mean it doesn't hold true for others.

                As for beer, that's the most preposterously myopic POV I've ever heard. Different people have different tastes, yo. Just because you don't like X, doesn't mean that someone else can't in fact enjoy X and distinguish and discern between X_a and X_b. Some people like sushi, some people don't. Some people like to skydive, some people don't. I mean, what the fuck man?

                Get your head out of your self-absorbed ass. You could've made an excellent post about how alcohol really isn't the be-all end-all (it isn't), but instead you were too busy with your misanthropic pity party.

                [–]KTR2 3 points4 points ago

                You're not wrong, but it really depends on who you're drinking with. Boring people don't suddenly become fun when they're drunk...but fun people will do hilarious and stupid shit when drunk.

                [–]Abedeus 1 point2 points ago

                Here, here. I'm 20, legal age is 18 here. I drank a sip of beer when I was 16 or 17, it tasted horribly. I'm basically forced by the culture to have a pint of vodka during social events (birthdays, parties and so on). Only recently my mom gave me a sip of "lemonade beer".

                It was passable. If I were forced to drink it, I would without making faces, but I'd still rather drink Pepsi/Cola/Sprite or other carbonated stuff. Thankfully, I'm usually the designated driver, so I have an excuse not to drink...

                [–]ohmyashleyy 4 points5 points ago

                I feel like beer is one of those things that takes time to get used to. Like coffee - no one actually starts out loving their first cup of coffee.

                    My 21st birthday sucked. Nobody remembered, so I bought a bottle of booze and went home and got drunk alone. The cashier at the liquor store was the only one who wished me happy birthday. And then I discovered I don't like being drunk.

                    My best birthdays have always been the ones I organized myself, like my 9th birthday party at the Playboy Club (yes really) video arcade, the bunnies sang happy birthday to me (I'm gay but I liked the attention... stop turning green, it's not your color), or my 36th, we had a nice lunch at a simple chinese restaurant which my baby cousin (age 21 at the time) decided to pay for (I wish she'd let me but it made me proud of her) and then we all went back to my apartment for my homemade ice cream and orange sherbet.

                      I remember my birthdays started sucking when I was 16 and my parents forgot until I told them the following week. Since then they have included:

                      • Getting pink eye.
                      • Getting rear ended by a car while sitting at a red light.
                      • Having to pay half of my summer salary towards a college payment my parents had promised to take care of.
                      • My cat dying.

                      On my 24th birthday I was robbed and beaten by two junkies. After several hits to the face, one of the men asphyxiated me to the point of unconsciousness and then left me for dead. I awoke almost an hour later covered in a blanket, with my hands and legs bound and a plastic bag in my mouth. After coughing up blood for a few minutes, I found that my phone, wallet, keys, laptop and car had all been stolen. The next evening I learned that the two men had completely destroyed all the items, including my car.

                      This was last weekend.

                      I really wish that I could have just received nothing like I had expected.

                      The first couple days were rough, but I'm fine now. One of the guys was arrested the next evening after the police found him living out of my car, so he's currently locked up.

                      I managed to get in contact with one of his close lady friends, and she was more than willing to help me find some parts from my laptop that he left behind. It also turns out he had been opening credit cards in her name and stealing money from her bank account before he was arrested.

                      Oh, and she's also pretty damn cute so we've been meeting up occasionally since then for drinks and such.

                      That reminds me of a birthday I had several years back. I was in college, and I woke up at 3AM to a fire alarm - the dorm was on fire. I hobbled on out and was fucking freezing, since it was December and was wearing nowhere near adequate gear. Had to deal with a bunch of drunk students outside. Went back in an hour later.

                      Got up later that morning to go to work - Sunday shift on my birthday. Found out the drunks had stolen my bicycle seat. Ran to work, was late. My boss calls and says "you have to go pick up a birthday cake." It was for a customer.

                      I wish i could afford college or a bike. I also wish i could run.

                      My birthday is usually on or around Easter. So my family always celebrate my birthday on Easter. So it's "Happy Easter! oh and happy birthday, RanShaw. Let's go and find the chocolate the Easter Bunny hid in the garden! Yay chocolate!" (context: there are a lot of small children in my family)

                      But having your birthday on Christmas does suck. It's the same day every bloody year.

                      My birthdays after 16 have sucked. Not as bad as yours, thank God.

                      I had to put my cat down on Valentines, though.

                      • 21 - Booze

                      • 25 - Insurance gets cheaper

                      after that? Nothin much...

                      Edit:

                      • 35 - Run for president
                      • 62 and up - varying level of SS benefits

                          The older you get the less likely you are to get drafted..sort of.

                          "The first to be called, in a sequence determined by the lottery, will be men whose 20th birthday falls during the calendar year the induction takes place, followed, if needed, by those aged 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 19 and 18 year olds (in that order)."

                            I threw a birthday party for my 22nd birthday yesterday, spent about 150 dollars and took a few hours to get ready. I had invited 20 people and 7 people said they were definitely coming, some of them bringing people. No one showed up except for my roommates (it wasn't at my apartment). No one even called me. This was the one time I decided I wanted to have a big party and I tried really hard to make it happen but no one came. I really didn't think I was that unpopular, am I completely insane and there's something horrible something everyone else sees in me that I don't or do they just not see anything in me at all? Maybe it was just a bad time.

                            I never really got the point of celebrating my birthday, and still don't get why people find it necessary to make such a big deal out of theirs.

                            21st you have a massive party, or should. 22/23/24 you probably are still looking for any reason to drink as are your friends.;

                            25.. .You can legally rent cars with out a raise in premiums or something. Basically it sums up the rest of your birthdays... I'm 31. Every birthday is 1 year closer to death.

                            These days, my perfect bday is I don't have to do jack shit. No cooking, chores, repairs, errands, etc. The wife takes care of all the kid's needs and they both stay out of my hair. I don't even need gifts or sex. Just let me do whatever I want.

                            Yesterday was my 19th birthday... can't say I disagree, although I did get one pleasant suprise with 2 of the people I actually care about (don't know if they know that) actually coming to visit me and staying for a couple of hours just talking... Turned what had been a really crappy non-eventful day to a pretty nice evening.

                            Basically, after 21 there's nothing but those years every once in a while where your car insurance goes down and the increasingly more soul-crushing realization that you're now even more likely to not become an astronaut/athlete/president/other awesome dream job children have.

                            I wanted to be a shark. Obviously, as soon as I learned about that whole biology thing, that dream went right out the fucking window, so there's just the car insurance.

                            At least you had 18 good birthdays.  Must be nice.

                            Try having a birthday on january 6th.

                            Heh, today's my 18th birthday. Finally, no more lying on porn sites!

                            No, but my point being- I'll make this one count ;)

                            DEWY!

                            It does get better. When you hit your 30's, hopefully you and your friends will be making some money by then and friends will be able to afford a birthday weekend with you, or appreciate a good night out. Later in your 30's your friends will be married and/or have kids and they'll crave an excuse to get away.

                            And then if you have kids it gets even better, because you get to share it with them and having your daughter wish you a happy birthday is just about the best thing ever.

                            Plus you can ride that birthday sex/bj train with your wife for a week or so.

                            Free booze on your 21st is awesome no matter who you are

                            i never got a single thing for my 18th.

                            I feel like this about everything every day

                            I just had birthday #18, it went like this:

                            Get home from school

                            Take a nap

                            Go to work

                            Get home from work

                            eat leftovers

                            present on my bed

                            sweater

                            sleep

                            [–]VcXC 0 points1 point ago

                            More like 13 for that matter

                            [–]Terakian 0 points1 point ago

                            Pretty true if instead of 18 it was "21." That's the last one anyone makes a big deal for....at least so far. I'm pretty sure 50 will be a doozy.

                            [–]wcgaming 0 points1 point ago

                            Even birthdays before 18 sucked...for my 16th birthday I got a cupcake and a balloon.

                            [–]sexandpopsicles 0 points1 point ago

                            As a person turning 19 in less than a month, I can say this sounds accurate.

                            [–]micahshell 0 points1 point ago

                            Turned 19 last month and had the same expectation.

                            Every birthday? Try every day.

                            I turned 18 today. This depicts how I feel perfectly.

                            [–]antonehenry 1 point2 points ago

                            That's how I feel today...

                            [–]prototato 0 points1 point ago

                            Every birthday after 10

                            [–]pornguy213 0 points1 point ago

                            this is the most depressing post ever

                            [–]Amannelle 0 points1 point ago

                            I just turned 19... felt just this way. My mom was like "What do you want for your birthday?" so I sent her a list of things I am running low on: Deodorant, Laundry Detergent, plastic spoons, etc.

                            I remember when I was 9, I took dozens of sheets of paper and taped them together so I could fit my whole list of desires on it... where has my life gone? :P
