I just asked Alexa to sing me happy birthday.
I've been through a lot of depression and trauma so I know this sounds stupid in the grand scheme of things, but hearing her sing it to me in a jaunty, inauthentic, robotic voice was one of the most profoundly sad experiences I have ever had.
I had messages this morning from friends and partners wishing me a good day. I'm going out to spend time with a friend, and I'm going to be playing games with friends this evening. Intellectually I know there are people who care about me, and I know it's depression that's making me feel this way. But sitting in the kitchen with nobody around and feeling a need to ask a machine to show me a facsimilie of affection just highlighted how truly lonely I feel so often.

ReplyWell this is canny. Today is my 39th birthday. So to you, from one birthday chickie to another person, happy birthday. It's a great day, but also a lot of pressure and really just another day. But if you do feel that lonely consider what you can do over the next 12 months to try and improve that. ❤️ Happy birthday my fellow Bday friend 😊

ReplyHappiest Birthday friend, stay positive in life even you feel no one is celebrating birthday with you,
it happened to me on my last birthday April 11, i bought my own cake and celebrate alone, my board mate goes to work that time, i filed leave that day, i feel so lonely, i went to church and spend my 4hrs staying there talking to God about everything i feel, then I go back to my apartment. reading some greetings from social media. and then i sleep whole day, yes, it's sad but it's okay! everything happens for a reason.
