i’m 26 today and i am sad

Happy birthday!! To meeee!!!! Here’s a little bit of a ramble video on why we get depressed for our birthdays.
Thanks for watching :)

[@bloosea123]

This video felt like old KZbin, when it was just people sharing their experiences with strangers around the world. You're not alone in feeling this way. Thanks for posting this.

[@AnLittleAlex]

@@bloosea123 wow thank you so much, what a wonderful comment

[@JayPlayToonZ]

I do not even feel depressed on my birthday, I just feel like a failure like ever since I became a teenager every birthday was a constant reminder that I am behind people my age and it makes me feel like I fucked up. Edit: Happy Birthday Alex!!!

[@AnLittleAlex]

I know what you mean.

[@King_of_Sofa]

One aspect of life is that it's an endurance test and it will inevitably be over at some point. Every day, every year is a bonus and I don't want to take it for granted. So I think of birthdays and age as milestones for your good fortune and resilience. A celebration for keeping the streak going.

[@popspops3795]

Happy Birthday, Alex! Hope all is well. Being sad sometimes can be good (as lon as it doesn't happen too often, which might mean tha, either we are making bad decision, or not taking actions, or becausewe are clinically depressed) as it tell us that we need to pay attention to something or take some action. When we are happy or neutral we run on autopilot. Congratulations, you reached the point that you can direct your live to any direction that you want. You can re-start and re-invent your life as you please. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay happy! Everything else is manageable! Pops

[@tythtyhtyhtyh]

Isnt it cool to be alive! Notice it all around you, the plants, the birds, the cats, the sky all so viberent, in motion, so beautifully. Right now in this moment we are alive :D Happy bithday!

[@AnLittleAlex]

Indeed!! It is beautiful:) thank you!

[@alkamino]

Happy birthday Alex! I had also felt that way. Thank you for sharing

[@klagosong]

Happy late birthday to you! :D For me I think it's the expectations I have on the day and that I don't live up to my expectations. And that I compare myself so much to other people's birthday celebrations.

[@KristopherStidd]

It was just my birthday too. Wow that is exactly how I felt. 🙏🏿🌹😎 Happy birthday Alex🎉🎉

[@andrewl9901]

Time / Aging is transitory. Don't have regrets on the past or be anxious of the future. Live in the present.

[@kurtohboy]

My birthdays tend to feel very lonely as they usually are just like any other day. It's ok, I believe that one day I will figure out how to have a social life and I won't be alone anymore on my birthdays.

[@espantalhoeusou]

And I think to my self... What a wonderful world!

[@Isaiahvsthegame]

Wooooooo happy birthday Alex we value you your precious my friend 😂

[@DurchgehendamPC]

Me too brah. Happy late birthday 🎉

[@thactotum]

mine was a couple weeks ago, and for me it is the depressed bitterness that not only am I closer to the end, but there's no time outs, no 'hold on, let me catch my breath'. it's going by in a confusing whirlwind of possibility that we cannot ever grasp the majority of before it's gone from our reach, and the frantic attempt to grab at it all often means we miss most of it... and what we do get will often feel meager and disappointing when held in comparison to the other things we reached for but slipped our grasp. there's no going back for another chance, there's not even a chance to stop for a moment and rethink your approach. no time to process, no time to grieve, just the onrushing indeterminate end point threatening us with ideas like 'do you go back to school for 4 more years, unable to take advantage of other things during that time... only to get hit by a car/have a stroke etc coming to the end wasting those 4 years of opportunities you might have desperately grasped at instead.' ... it never stops for even a minute to let us catch a breath, find a focus, and enjoy the whirlwind.

[@AnLittleAlex]

You’re so right. I always find myself wanting to take a break or just catch a breath or just pressing pause just for one moment. But life keeps going, and all you can do is keep going.

[@TheFireGoose]

Daym, this might be completely redundant sounding but you need to chill. Sit down outside, watch and listen to the birds and insects, smoke a pipe maybe idk but just stop the worry Things probably aren’t passing you by at the rate you think they are, if at all. There are always more chances to do things, it doesn’t matter if people say you ‘should’ do ‘this’ at ‘that’ age or whatever. If there are things you actually wanna do you don’t need to be in any rush to do them. Panicking because you think that the time you have is escaping will only make you unable to enjoy the time you have. Take it day by day, appreciate the world and universe and everything in it and just chill out. Life is awesome and death isn’t the end :) You haven’t blown anything away

[@L82c]

​@@TheFireGoosedeath is absolutely the end you have no evidence it's not

[@TheFireGoose]

@@L82c No evidence it is either

[@larryboysen5911]

Wait till you turn 81, as I have! But, I look at it as just a number...my spiritual outlook has not changed...just the physical case! The way humanity is going, I'm glad I'm my age...as I came of age in a better time...with a small, but fine family. I never married, an only offspring...living my remaining years with the individually I love!

[@DynamicVlogs69]

Happy belated birthday!!! Mine is this weekend and I told my roommate I'm either staying inside by myself or I'm going out but I wasn't sure yet. So she invited me to her extended family party. I'm really nervous to go cause I don't know them and I'm introverted and kind of afraid I'll embarrass someone if I'm my goofy self.

[@AnLittleAlex]

Life is too damn short, be your ass goofy self 😇

[@grandliner9402]

Happy Birthday Alex!🎉🎉

[@AnLittleAlex]

@@grandliner9402 thank youuu! :)

[@NOZH777]

I know maybe you don't see this, even not knowing why I have been notified by your video despite never hearing about your channel before, but I suddenly felt like I cared about you as if you were my close friend. Remember, you're a great person and your personality is to be remembered for!

[@AnLittleAlex]

So kind, thank you:)

[@laze4534]

I got rid of birthdays, instead, I just celebrate my life on days where I actually feel like it. Societal conformity is a breeding ground for depression, spontaneity is the most liberating way to live.

[@knockthebackdoorbeforeleaving]

load of shit

[@rex_8618]

Happy birthday Alex 🎉!! I honestly do love the concept of birthdays. I don't have friends but I've got a beautiful family who truly make this day the best day of the year. I know some people dislike it, but I just like being festive.

[@AnLittleAlex]

Thank you so much !!! I feel the same way with my family, who does the same. I’m very grateful for them :)

[@1Bearsfan]

Great video! I agree. I've always found it odd when grown ass adults celebrate their birthday. Birthday parties are for children. That said I do hope you find reasons for happiness :)

[@retkvi]

At the end, I smiled because it was just hilarious, that stupid and at the same time adorable hat, and a balloon in one hand. Happy late birthday to you :) You keep it positive, which is good. When I feel alone, the worst days for me are my birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and New Year's Eve, so yay.

[@corumeach]

Late happy birthday to you 🎉😅. I turned 50 last year. No one cared except for my parents and my kids. It felt like every other day to me. Empty.

[@AnLittleAlex]

I think at the end of the day, that’s all that really matters :)

[@user-lm6me2tz9t]

It is just a number. I am usually too busy to even notice that on that day it is my birthday. Who cares how many times the planet has done a full revolution around the sun, since you were born? Really.

[@jermezprintup3328]

Happy birthday 🎉🙏

[@organicquotes]

Happy Birthday Alex..Many blessing to you and the family. Enjoy this day with a smile and I know it sometimes feel depressing on days like these but turn on some good music and dance with no care. You are one year older and getting wiser from reflection. Let your inner child loose on this awesome day.🙂

Happy Birthday, Little Alex! May your wishes come true bit by bit. Enjoy the present moment loudly or quietly as you can. Love the hat! 😂😂😂🎉

[@AnLittleAlex]

Thank you !! Trying my best to :)

[@CS2tipsnclips]

Its exciting until the day then its a bummer cause your older. You can still be present, I find it easiest in the morning right after waking up; just a minute works good cause you will find yourself there every morning and then every week and then every year and then its all the time or no time ; ) Plus your always waking up. Also death isn't that bad cause its no longer your problem, the person contemplating death cannot experience being dead only being alive so just smile and enjoy it while it lasts cause its forever! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

[@TonyBurgess1969]

Birthdays aren't fun anymore since my dad passed away. I was born in August and he died a few days before my birthday.

[@JCarrera27]

I plan stuff i like for the day (or the day before or after, if i think my family is going to be all day) its like i get to be selfish and relax, if i get upset it would be because of other people messing around with my plans

[@JemingMyang]

best thing has happened to me is i can almost forget my birthday and ignore it efficiently .

[@SlackLink]

my birthday was the 6th but i had work so i was gonna celebrate it on the 7th because I was off. that morning i went to the mall to get korns life is peachy CD but they were closed because of a water issue or something. when I got back in my car I saw texts from my friends who were gonna go to skyzone with me that day, cancelling on me. worst part was on the way home. I was just about home when my brakes shat the bed and had 700 ping causing my front bumper to go nuts to butts with the car in front of me. I just totalled my first car.

Easy way to not get sad on your birthday: Remember that Gandalf was the strongest and wisest member of the Fellowship, and you'll only get to his level if you get old. Gotta keep puttin' in those birthday reps to become a strong mage.

[@AnLittleAlex]

You know what, I love that. If only I can become like Gandalf or Uncle Iroh.

My birthday is coming soon this month, i dont know what ill do, but its fine, i can see people from my family moving their hearts trying to make something special, even if is not fancy, even if is for 1 day, and this is probably enough.

[@holidaypenguin]

I hate celebrating my birthday because everyone else makes it such a big deal. They buy me things I feel obligated to use but end up hating. They make sure I am "having a good time" like every hour. I now tell people I am doing something like camping for the whole week and just keep my phone on silent for days. I know, first world problems. Its weird that people don't want to just hang out with me the other 364 days of the year but they clear calendars for that one day... maybe out of some weird obligation.

[@flyaway6671]

I think most people who are sad on their bday is because society tells you that you're a loser unless you have tons of people turn up and celebrate with you, which is unrealistic really unless you're like 12 lol. All special days seem like a scam anyway, it's just a reminder to buy stuff.

[@JadedFeeling]

I think celebrating our birthday is idolizing 1 of the ten commandments. XOXO its okay id cry with you.

[@CastleHassall]

hey at least you're in your twenties and have things you can do and you have the ability to think and function and move about etc.. also maybe spend time with people who value being able to spend time with you and not on a screen.. that'll help jeez maybe celebrate the fact you have LIFE!!! you are HUGELY taking being able to live and breathe for granted if you think that is not worth celebrating try not breathing or moving for as long as you can manage.. you'll maybe start to appreciate being able to live jeez start to count your blessings.. You're on algorithmically driven information sources too much by the sound of it do some things you would like to do you don't "have"' to get married or have kids but maybe you'd feel happy if you had someone who truly loves you.. people get conditioned to feel they don't want that sweet hat.. i hope life will be good for you and for anyobe who ever reads this

[@FreshMedlar]

Plenty of people doing videos like this and not one of them abandons previous way of thinking or doubts his/her pointview. What use is your tactic if it brought you to this? What is happening to you is happening to millions in the same exact way. Ask yourself, is it by chance? I'm not even telling you what I think, just question everything for yourself
