Turning 18 is a milestone in life, often accompanied by expectations of a joyous celebration. However, when things don't go as anticipated, it can be disheartening. Feeling overlooked and unhappy when birthday videos go unnoticed or wishes aren't received can be disappointing. But it is important to remember that social interactions can be unpredictable, and people may have their reasons for not engaging. Birthdays are not solely defined by external validation, but rather by personal growth and reflection. Surrounding oneself with supportive friends and loved ones can still create meaningful memories, despite unmet expectations.
