Why can't people just leave me alone for my birthday? I never get the birthday I want -- which would consist of everyone just leaving me alone and forgetting that it's my birthday -- now that would be a perfect birthday.

Not bad, useless, gifts, or forcing myself to eat when I'm not hungry -- just leave me alone and don't even acknowledge that it's my birthday. Shake my hand, wish me a happy birthday, and talk to me about something else and I'll be forever happy. Simple is good.
