Will Anything Bad Happen If I Change My Birthday Date On Facebook

Why do people hide their birthdays on Facebook?

Aside from putting my birthday to "Only me". I also put an effort that a week before my birthday to "update" my birthday to a wrong date (usually on a previous month so they'll never get a notification).There are a lot of reasons why I do this (Some had been stated by previous answers) but for me, the biggest reason is to identify which portion of friends cares about you the most.I mean it takes an effort to actually greet someone even though Facebook has notified them but by not having a reminders on a social media site. It gives you an element of surprise on who still remembers my birthday and when unexpected people do greet, it gives you a feeling that they care about you. Specially if it comes from someone who you haven't meet for a while.

What are the reasons to hide one's birthday on Facebook?

I don’t like the (perceived) insincerity of getting a notification, typing a quick ‘happy birthday’, maybe add a original non-original birthday image and be done with it.How I came to that? I used to be flattered by all the notifications on my birthday. However, a few years ago I’ve turned off every notification from any social media platform, because of decluttering. That gave me a tremendous peace of mind. I love that I don’t react like a Pavlovian dog anymore to alerts from my phone. That clarity grew into a resentment of all empty notifications, which seems to be the pinnacle of todays society.Before I didn’t notice the shallowness of the Facebook birthday wishes as much, but when those are revealed from the clutter of all the other notifications, they really stand out in a negative way. I like my birthday wishes – both ways – to be heartfelt. I wasn’t able to distinguish them from obligatory ones. So I set my birthday visibility to ‘only me’.The great thing I noticed was a newfound appreciation of birthday wishes. I’m a snob who appreciates the effort of remembering a date. There were some people who did, and made time to send me a birthday wish, instead of the opportunity being hand fed to them. While the numbers were much lower than last years (when I caved in at the last moment and put the setting to ‘friends’ again, because I thought I didn’t want to exclude people from the opportunity), I can truly say I love the quality over the quantity.

Today is my birthday and no one wished me "Happy birthday." I feel really sad and unimportant. What can I do to make myself feel better?

First of all, Happy birthday, Dear….!!!!Hope you had thanked god to give you another precious year.As come to your question, Birthday is a thing that makes us excited and happy. But it is not necessary that all have to wish you. Sometimes people forgot the day even I forgot my best friend’s birthday. But that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t important in my life. Even we had spend the entire day of her birthday together and I couldn’t remember that this is the day of her birthday. Still, whenever I am in trouble, my mind recall her name first and same for her’s. This happens sometimes, all have not the great power of mind to remember things.Secondly, others are just temporary in your life. Only your parents will stand besides you whenever you are in trouble. So, why we feel sad for not getting wishes from temporary person.Thirdly, our happiness shouldn’t depends on others. If you want to celebrate your happiness you can celebrate by your own. You can do whatever you want to do by your self from dancing to going alone to restaurant.According to me, One should take a blesses from their own parents by touching their legs on their birthday. Because they gives blesses from their heart. One should thanked god for everything what he/she achieved till now. And make a promise to yourself which you want to change in your life. For instance, If u think you are getting angry easily then you can make promise to yourself of not to get angry easily. This things are more important than fake friends.And if you still feel that the person who are important to you doesn’t wish you then you can simply message them and talk with them as usual. Because its your birthday, do whatever which makes you happy.But don’t be dependent on others for anything. Others are just fake. There are rarely people who will stand by you whenever you want them most except parents and siblings. Never feel shy to do things which makes you happy.And you shouldn't worry about the wishes on social media. If you feel bad that no one had wish you on social media, you can erase your birthday from social media. But you shouldn't affect your happiness by such a little things.
