The Irony of the Piscean Birthday
This topic was created in the Pisces forum by shellshocker on Sunday, February 23, 2014 and has 10 replies.
Most Pisces I know don??t like a lot of attention made about their birthday, it makes them uncomfortable. (or so they say)
Yet.... Pisces go over and above with the Happy Birthday threads on this board.
Let??s take Elusive as an example. She mentioned last year that she was uncomfortable with her b-day on display. This year, I think she deleted before her birthday because she knew that her wishes would not be respected, so to avoid the mess of having to respond...she swam away.
Or is this all just a ploy? To fain like you don??t really want people to make a big deal about it... but would be upset if someone DIDN??T make a big deal about it. But, when they do make a big deal you??re more comfortable ignoring the gesture? It??s odd...
My Pisces doesn??t tell people his bday. A couple years ago his friends thought his bday was mid March. He got lots of bday wishes via fb along with a cake and a party. I think he liked it. However, since I knew his bday was in Feb. and I had already done something in sincerity for the day, I just sat back and chuckled at the irony of everyone celebrating his fake bday.
He actually got upset with me because I wasn??t participating in the show!!!
One side of him loved the fact that I??m one of the few that knows his true birthday and have kept it to myself for over 5 years. The other side of him didn??t like the fact people were noticing I was doing nothing, therefore making it seem like his girlfriend didn??t appreciate him enough to celebrate his birthday. wtf?
I reminisced this time with him and asked him if he did enjoy that fake March bday celebration. He said, "I liked that it wasn't real."
weird ass fish

It's a very kind gesture and I agree, appreciated
I don't like birthday celebrations, in person, if the attention is going to be focused on me. I'm an introvert and having to entertain and talk to people a lot drains me.
Online, I'm torn. I don't want to seem like an attention whore, but I do like the attention. Heck, I'm even waiting til the end of the day to post in my birthday thread so any last minute posters can get in their 'happy birthday's. But, in the end, if I told people here to not make me a thread, I would not expect one to be made.
I think the folk around these parts, and elsewhere, just like to be nice and show their appreciation of those they share a common link to by posting birthday threads. I don't remember Elusive stating she didn't want a birthday thread so I'm sure others have forgotten, as well. I don't think the thread would have been made otherwise. It's just hard to get everyone on the same page with these types of things since some people forget or don't see the posts about stuff like this. I hope Elusive didn't delete because of that, though. : (

I love how the Fish board tries not to leave anyone out. All Pisces will get a birthday thread, so it is fair, balanced and equal and no one has to feel left out... whether they like it or not. 
I find it interesting though, how uncomfortable a Pisces can feel accepting themselves what they so freely give to others.

I think with Pisces we want our birthday to be acknowledged, but we aren't always comfortable with people making a big fuss over us. Mostly because we don't like having so much attention focused on us. We're more behind the scenes types, being in the spotlight all of a sudden makes some of us anxious.
Agreed!

Sometimes I'm relieved just to have my birthday be over and done with, because planning how I will celebrate it can be slightly stressful. I'm not one to throw a big party or make a big ado about my birthday.
Haha, I have heard this before.
I should add... at my Pisces fake March bash, he left for awhile and claimed he was going to meet some workmates for a bday drink. This was not true... he just went out to get away from the party and get some air.
When he returned, he made up a big story about how he was talking to some girl at the bar and her bf wanted to fight him because of it. >
This also wasn't true.He then proceeded to ignore me and chat up a girl at the party until I came over and sat in his lap! This made him happy... and we went to bed.
I feel the same way too. When my birthday nears I become nervous and feel weird. I don't like being surprised with birthday parties coz I don't know how to respond to that, it sucks to be put in the spotlight. I prefer to go out somewhere fun but not at the parties or hang out with my friends preferably 2 to 3 pple
Pisces Birth Month Theme song.. in a island style
"It's my day, and I'll do what the fuck I want to
It's my time and I'll use it anyway I want to
My day, my time, my life"
"It's my day, and I'll do what the fuck I want to
It's my time and I'll use it anyway I want to
My day, my time, my life"
So...I mentioned my Pisces Sun Aries Moon friend. This is how it went down this year.
10am
Virgo "Hey man, happy birthday"
Pisces "???"
Virgo "It's your birthday, right?"
Pisces "Oh yeah.."
Virgo "So where we're going tonight to celebrate?"
Pisces "Celebrate? nowhere"
Virgo "Ok then"
Pisces "I'll call you this weekend"
8 pm
Pisces "So let's go out!"
Virgo "???"
Pisces "It's my birthday isn't it?"
o.o
