Do you feel any different after a Birthday?

[WrongSprite]

Something I've always wondered, do you ever feel older on a birthday? Or...different somehow?
'Tis my 18th today, and I havn't really felt different in the past, but I do feel older today. Probably to do with all the things I'm allowed to do now.

But yeah, interesting question?

I dont feel different although i do feel that another year of my life has been wasted.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Not really, though I might do once I turn 18, like you. I know I have to start remembering a new number for how old I am, that's it really.

Does a hangover count?

 

[Earth443]

Haven't had a birthday party since i was 10 and im 18 atm so no. not really.

 

[101194]

Nope, Same as before.

 

[Estocavio]

No - but when i turn 18 ill be glad to be a legal adult

 

[EeveeElectro]

Happy birthday.
I didn't physically feel different, but I felt special when they ID'd me straight away and I showed them it and got served. That's what happens when you look 13.
Me and a few friends went to Weathersppons a few weeks ago, I was the youngest at 18 and the bar maid asked for our ID. Handed it over with a smug smile

Hmm, not particarly. Occasionally though, I'll think to myself "Wow, I'm in my twenties, and I'm a total manchild."

Happy 18th birthday.

I guess I only cared about my birthday when I was younger, because to me it marked another year of growing up.

I don't usually feel any different after a birthday. Just slightly more wealthy. Maybe I'll feel different when I'm older? Although I think I will feel kind of special after I turn 16. I can get my Learner's license!

Haha, I know the feeling, I look about 12 myself, so I'm looking forward to tonight.

 

[A-Heart-Of-Gold]

Happy Birthday to you!

I never feel any different, if I look back at photos form my last Brithday I realise the change but not over night! I feel more mature in some respects as I would be respected more, just with an extra number to may age!

 

[Colour Scientist]

Happy birthday!
You don't feel different really, you eventually develop a superiority complex over people you don't know who are under 18 though.
Well that's what happened to me anyway. It's kind of a 'haha I win' kind of thing.

 

[dragonslayer32]

Happy Birthday.

I didn't feel any different on my 18th although before I prayed I didn't get ID'd and now that I am 18, I am offended that I get ID'd. That is the only change.

 

[imnot]

No , just with more money!

 

[SimuLord]

I felt a profound sense of despair the day I turned 30, but that had less to do with aging and more to do with "shit, this is NOT how I planned things in life! How the fuck did this happen?" I damn near killed myself.

Then I got a divorce and went back to college. Now 33, I'm feeling MUCH better about things.

 

[Snowpact]

When I was younger, I did feel older every passing birthday. But the last couple of years my sense of "aging" has been more of gradual climb than sudden bursts of elderness. I think.

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

I remember last birthday I was so strung out on mood-altering drugs (for bipolar disorder, may I add) that for some days I couldn't reme,ber how old I was and kept swearing that I had just turned 22, when I had really turned 23.

Yep... somewhere in my mind I had lost an entire year. Now if I could only have picked the one I would never have to remember again...

This. Birthdays are really just another excuse to party. They don't actually mean anything.
