I'm in my 30s and at least half of my friend group likes to have a birthday party for themselves. It's not some narcissitic thing that half of the commentors here think it is though.

Loving yourself is as important as loving others, if you have ever felt inclined to throw a loved one a birthday party, why shouldn't you throw one for yourself? I just see it as one day a year where you can be surrounded by some of your loved ones on your own terms and remind yourself that you are loved and create some lasting memories.

Almost everyone in my friend group loves when anyone else has a birthday party and we all take pleasure in making our friends birthdays memorable and meaningful.
