Well that is pretty horrible then. I have done nothing to him to deserve this. He never says "You dont have to get me anything", why doesn't he just say that? A lot of people say that easily. Well next year I won't buy him anything and I will make plans on his birthday and I will not invite him to my birthday thing with my mom and his kids.
I didn't choose to have my brother in my life, he was born into it. You can't change your family. And as for my friends, I chose them because when I first met them, I didn't know they were selfish. And I have tried to drop a few of them but they won't stop messaging me and I feel too bad to just quit talking to them. It would be easier if I only knew them a few months but most of these people I have known for half my life at least.
Don’t you think you are a little old for birthday cake and ice cream?

Nah, you're never too old! But why wait on others when you can buy yourself your own birthday cake? It's a win-win! You pick out what you like, and you don't have to share if you don't want to!
And my mom is just not supportive of me being happy, to put it bluntly. When I pulled into her driveway with my new camper, she had a concerned look on her face, wouldn't smile, didnt even wanna go inside, etc.
I spent a lot of money for a travel writers workshop and started taking a course on travel blogging. All of this was so profound for me that I stopped having a recurring nightmare which symbolized that my life was going nowhere. So anyway I have been asked by a website to write for them, and have already written a bunch of articles that I can get paid for or post on my blog once I get that going.
All my trips are local, I have never gone more than 3 hours from home. And I camp, so it's cheaper than a hotel. My low rent is also part of how I can afford to travel so much. And where I want to move eventually, that is my goal for the distant future, not anytime soon. That is for when I have a normal income again and after my mom is gone so there will be nothing keeping me here.
But I am more concerned with what you said, you are making it sound like I am not supposed to talk about how happy I am because it would upset others. Nobody is responsible for other people's happiness and nobody should hide their happiness or who they are for fear of making others jealous.
Just pulled out a few points of your reply. I don't think your family is jealous of you. You are bragging. It's not cute. Why is your mom concerned and not happy that you bought a camper?
How much have you earned so far writing your articles? Did you earn enough to cover the expensive workshop yet?
Is your family concerned that you are going through this inheritance too quickly? Possibly wasting the money?
You’re insufferable... that’s why. Your screen name pretty much says it all.
You’re welcome.
"Gaia" means "Earth", and "Goddess" means female deity, and every human is a deity. How that means I am insufferable (intolerable, hard to bear) makes no sense to me, but that's ok. Moving on.
Point blank. No its not normal. Nor is the expectation that every Facebook post be about yourself.
Mine is usually community oriented. A notice to the public. Such as: the easter egg hunt being held at charter village is rescheduled.
On rare occasions I make a self involved post...usually comical. Such as a Maxine cartoon that conveys my attitude that day.
I tend to subscribe that the last person to get the memo that they are egotistical is the one who is ..well egotistical.
Just because I post about my travels and my good news doesn't make me egotistical. Half of my friends on FB post about their travels and good news, including my friends who rarely like my posts of the same content. My last post was sharing the Patreon page of a local musician that is popular in our festival community. My post before that was sharing an astrology event happening in my town. Don't assume you know everything I post.
Don’t you think you are a little old for birthday cake and ice cream?
The cake and ice cream was for the kids, mostly...but like I've said, this is a tradition in my family. My dad's parents started it in the 50's, whoever's birthday it was, everyone got cake and ice cream and the whole family got together. This continued with my immediate family, and we even do it for parents birthdays.
