Does this mean I'm getting old?!

Question

It's my birthday right, and I'm sitting here all alone living life just the way I normally do, drinking beer, eating cereal and playing Nintendo. And it just feels like a completely ordinary day, I don't care that it's my birthday, I don't care that I'm now 29 years old! And I'm wondering to myself why is this? Is it because I'm all alone on my birthday for the first time in years, is it because I'm getting old, why is this? I'm not even very happy, I just feel bord and tired. I would be having a massive party like I did last year but due to poor planning that's been postponed until another day (probably around two weeks from now) so it's not that I'm not gonna celebrate, it's just I've never felt like this on the actual day before and I'm wondering why. I'm gettting too old for this aren't I?!

Answer 1

Birthdays become like this sooner or later. Nothing weird about it.

If you're feeling like this at 29, imagine what it's like when you're pushing 50 like me!

Why don't you go out to the shops and buy yourself a present? Retail therapy always works for me.

Many happy returns mate!

Answer 2

Your birthday comes only once in a year.

Call some mates over, get dressed up and go clubbing or somewhere...Or phone your family and call them over.

Who knows, there might be a surprise planned for you!

Happy Birthday x

Answer 3

Haha Your not old...

<3 Happy Birthday love

Answer 4

29 huh, you're almost middle aged.

Answer 5

Cheer up matey! You're not getting old! When you get to have the party, spend alot organising it! Trust me... it's worth it!

Answer 6

You know, you make the world however you want to make it. If you think all you ever are gonna do is eat cereal (which is delicious) all your life, do so. But there are so many possibilities and you need to make the most of it.

Answer 7

awww!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :)

Answer 8

ha ha listen to you, 29 is not young or old it's a decent age and my advice is to shag as many 19/20 year olds as you can before you do get too old. drinking beer and playing nintendo seems ok to me sometimes i prefer to be on my own on special days. i did it one xmas a few years ago (before wife and kids) and loved it no rushing around and i eat and drink when i want and watch what i want on tv, so cheer up and you will catch up on your celebration another day.

Answer 9

It's a miracle you lasted so long

Answer 10

Don't worry Russman it is all downhill from now on anyway!!

Answer 11

Happy Birthday! X

You're not getting too old, maybe just not feeling the need to celebrate the way you did when you were younger! Call some mates and see what they're up to tonight?

Now let me see you drink that beer and play that Nintendo like you mean it!  

Answer 12

i believe that its not because you are getting old but because you're just not in the mood for planning and partying

Answer 13

Nah, you'll feel the vibe next year. Maybe this year you dont have the mood.  

Answer 14

Our moods often depends on the people around us, can't you go looking for a few of your friends to cheers you up a bit,see a family member?

Your only bored and tired because you are on your own, get off your bum and see people.

Answer 15

Answer 16

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU-maybe you are getting old... but who cares get up off you butt and do something fun for the day, something you haven't' done before. I always do something I've never done before on my birthday even if im on my own, run around the garden in the nip or something.......somethingng to give your self a good alh laugh...go on!!  

Answer 17
