💨 Abstract

A debate on Mumsnet questioned whether celebrating birthdays is narcissistic. Some users argued it's attention-seeking, while others defended it as a fun tradition. Experts from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy clarified that celebrating birthdays is not inherently narcissistic. Narcissistic Personality Disorder involves a pattern of behaviors that impair daily functioning and harm others.
