What are some reasons you have not wanted to let someone know when your birthday* is?

1) Privacy/fear of identity theft
2) Religion prevents celebration of birthdays
3) Don't want people making a big deal of it/don't want to be reminded

Identity theft.   But actually, the day I recognized and accepted the Lord as my savior is the day life really began for me.  This post was edited by . at August 1, 2020 11:25 PM MDT

     Am never celebrating my birthday,
just another day. It comes and passes
without me noticing sometimes.
Don't even think it is my real birthdate,
just something they guessed at when they found me
in a cardboard box
Really don't like to be reminded of it
nor wish to draw any attention from people
wanting to celebrate it...haha

Not enjoying having to be polite over unwanted gifts,
not enjoying the hard work and expenses of hospitality and cleaning up afterwards.

I really don't care if people know. Only a few ever remember it. My mother even forgot. My wife forgot a few times. My kids don't remember. Nobody in my family cares about b-days.

Now everyone here knows. No cards please, just send money.

causeits disappointing when nothing happens and you get stuck by yourself

I don't think I've ever purposely not told someone that legitimately asked for my birthday, but I actually really don't like celebrating it for personal reasons is all. This post was edited by Nightwolf5 at August 2, 2020 7:45 AM MDT

28th May. I didn't want people knowing in adolescence, when on your birthday you receive one arm punch for each year from everybody.
