Haidilao’s flashy birthday celebrations are an extrovert’s dream, but for introverts, they can feel more like a nightmare.

Recently, a mother in China took to Xiaohongshu to share a video of her young daughter's birthday celebration at the popular hotpot chain. 

In the clip, a group of enthusiastic staffers gathered around the toddler, who was seated in a baby highchair, as a waiter placed a cake with a lighted candle in front of her.
