The Psychology of People Who Treat Their Birthday Like a Normal Day

Some people wake up on their birthday, make the tea, and carry on exactly as they did yesterday. Ask them and they’ll say it’s no big deal. But there isn’t one reason behind that shrug. In this video I go through five real psychological reasons people treat their birthday like a normal day: expecting less to avoid being hurt, never having had a big occasion to begin with, not needing an audience, the way a birthday can feel like an audit of the year, and the quiet hope that someone remembers. Stay until the end, because one of them is the reason people most often get wrong about themselves. I’m George, and this is George Knows Why, where I look at the psychology behind why we do what we do. 🔔 Subscribe if you’d like more videos like this every week. #Psychology #BirthdayPsychology #Birthday #SelfAwareness #Mindset #PsychologyFacts #GeorgeKnowsWhy #PersonalGrowth #EmotionalHealth #HumanBehavior
