Is it weird to post a status on my own birthday?

Not at all — it's the one day self-celebration is fully expected. A short, confident line reads far better than silence followed by reposting everyone else's wishes.

How do I post about my birthday without fishing for wishes?

Make the line about the year, not the attention: gratitude, a small win, or a joke at your own expense. Anything that stands alone as a good status won't read as a wish request.

When should I post my own birthday status?

Morning works best — it sets the tone and gives people the whole day to respond. Posting at midnight is fine too if you're the type who's already celebrating.
