Is it normal to dislike birthdays?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s completely normal to dislike birthdays. You might not enjoy being the center of attention, the expectations around celebrating, or the reminders that come with getting older.

Birthdays can come with a surprising amount of pressure: act excited, make plans, gather people, and somehow have a meaningful day. If you’d rather keep it low-key—or treat it like any other Tuesday—you’re in very good company.
