ALT Me asking ChatGPT: “How can I make everyone know it’s my birthday without making it obvious that I want everyone to know it’s my birthday?” ChatGPT: “One way to let people know that it's your birthday without making it obvious that you want everyone to know is to mention it in passing during a conversation. For example, you could say something like, "Oh, by the way, it's my birthday today" as an aside, without making a big deal out of it. This can make it seem like you're just mentioning the fact, rather than trying to draw attention to it. Alternatively, you could simply post about it on social media, but again, try not to make it sound like you're fishing for birthday wishes.”
