“Birthday is a sad holiday” - for some reason, for some people this is true. And in the onset of the next milestone in their lives, they see not a reason to gather family and friends and how to have fun, but a reason for the blues.
So we have become a year older …
This happens for various reasons. The most obvious of them is a person's realization that he has lived another year of his priceless life, which means that the time of his stay in this world has decreased. But philosophers argue that everyone begins to approach death, only when he is born, and no one is given to know how many years he is allotted for earthly existence. It's just that a person is designed in such a way that he thinks about the passage of time, only stating the fact that the next segment has passed. And the date of birth is a milestone that measures a fairly long time interval, which means that the realization that he has lived is a more compelling reason to think about the transience of life than simply moving the hands on the clock.
How young we were
Another reason for sadness on your birthday is the realization that the holiday itself is not as fun and joyful over the years as, for example, in childhood or early adolescence. While a person is still small, each date is another sign of his "adulthood", a step towards independence. It is also the expectation of gifts and surprises, the feeling of a miracle! An adult no longer needs confirmation of his status - he managed to get used to it. Gifts no longer seem like a miracle, and he himself is able to acquire what his soul desires. The feeling of a miracle no longer comes, and it makes you sad.
Listen, still love me …
Mood worsens on the eve of a personal holiday and in people who are not satisfied with relationships with others. Indeed, it is not easy to rejoice at a holiday if there are no friends whom you would like to invite to it, and you do not have to expect expressions of love and attention from your loved ones. This is felt especially sharply on a birthday: after all, the "personal date" is the most significant for the human "ego". On such a day, I want others to pay special attention to the birthday man, remember how wonderful and beloved he is. And if this does not happen, the person is sad.
All come back and go round and round …
Another reason for the broken state and even depression on the eve of a birthday is called esoterics. It is believed that in a year a person goes through a certain life cycle, a kind of “life in miniature”. And a few days before the date of birth - this is the same "little death" before the subsequent rebirth. Therefore, many people note before the onset of "date X" deterioration of health, weakness, exacerbation of chronic diseases, reduced emotional background. As a rule, these unpleasant symptoms disappear in the first month after the birthday: a new round of life has begun, and the body again accumulates energy and strength!
