I hate surprises

[Daisyinadesert]

DP has a surprise booked for my birthday in December, he’s really milked it at how much I’ll love it and he’s finding new ideas to add to it so it’s so amazing, etc.
I am very grateful, don’t get me wrong I know he’s being really thoughtful and trying to make it a special day for me, but I loathe that it’s a 2 month wait to find out what this huge surprise is.
If he hadn’t told me and kept the surprise, well a surprise, then I wouldn’t be any the wiser. I’m not generally an impatient person but I don’t ‘get’ the fun in a surprise and looking forward to what it will be. For many the surprise turns out to be underwhelming, for others it’s the best thing they could imagine. The surprise factor makes me bored of it before it arrives.
I have always been like this even as a child, I’d be sick of hearing about ‘what Santa will bring’ that when Christmas arrived I wasn’t interested, as an example.
Does anyone else feel like this about surprises or is it just me being a moaning Minnie?

I don’t like surprises, all that forced happiness. To be honest I don’t really like presents, I would rather buy my own things that I really like . I’m not being mean .

I hate surprises. I've banned all of my family and friends from doing, or mentioning surprises. I'm not good at quickly rearranging my face, and it doesn't always go well...

This point the actual gift won't be amazing. Just have to think if your partner has made that much effort that's actually so good: Better than any gift. You can be genually excited about that

I hate surprises too! I think for me it’s because I don’t have time to prepare my reaction/response - the situation is just kind of thrust upon you. Teasing it months ahead just prolongs the agony because it’s like knowing that something bad is coming but without knowing the details, you can’t prepare.

Some friends threw me a surprise birthday thing one year and it honestly still makes me feel sick to think about.
