Just seems really childish to me. No one really gives a shit that you're 36 except maybe your parents.

Celebrations are just a part of our culture. It's for the same reason people celebrate wedding anniversaries. Considering my wife and I dated for two years before getting married, and were already friends for two years before we dated, celebrating our wedding anniversary seems pointless since we already had a noteworthy relationship way before then. I'd rather celebrate the anniversary of the day we started dating or the day we became friends, but really we don't do any of it. We just celebrate whenever we feel like it.

But people have their customs. They like to find reasons to celebrate things. Holidays, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, baby showers, housewarming parties, retirement parties, and some even celebrate during funerals. I guess it helps break off the mundane day-to-day living.

I agree. Buy yourself a nice dinner if you must but do it quietly so civilized society doesn't have to pity you.

As long as they don't go super overboard, I don't see any harm. It's a simple reason to have a bit of fun.

Anniversaries are atleast usually just between you and your partner, unless it's like a 50th anniversary.

It's a celebration of life. I dont celebrate mine for shit, but if others want to that's perfectly fine.

It's a reason to have fun and maybe party. People need to stop being insecure about others having fun.

Now when you get to the point where you're wearing a sashes... Ya then you're just begging for attention

It's a celebration of surviving another year. Think about how many people in the last year we can't say that for. :'(
