I think I hate New Years

Post Reply New Topic

I'm just saying. I'm not really a party kind of guy. I also still live at home with my parents and don't socialise with others that much. I just mostly keep to myself which I'm fine with I guess. Whenever New Years Eve comes around they usually go to a friends house for drinks and I always go with them. Not that I have to but it's not like I've got anything else to do and it's not like I mind but I guess there would be other things I'd rather do but I can't really think of anything. I guess I would like to go to a New Years Eve party but who would I go with, how would I get there, do I want to be around a bunch of drunken frat boys who always yell and like I said before I'm not really a party kind of guy and I hate when we constantly keep saying Happy New Year because truth be told I don't think I'm really that happy, not that I'm depressed or anything I guess I just feel the same way a Vulcun from Star Trek would feel. Also that damn song we have to see that I don't know the words too and putting are hands together UGG. I always keep dreading that. Also I feel like every year passes to quick for me so what is the point in celebrating. I read somewhere that someone said they would rather stay home, eat pizza and watch Netflix. Honestly that sounds like my cup of tea though replace Netflix with Blu-Rays and I'm there though while a 32 year old hanging with his or her parents and their friends sounds kinda sad it probably would be sadder to be alone watching Blu-Rays on New Years Eve. It would be neat maybe if we were all watching movies on New Years Eve at least until 12am but they probably wouldn't because they would rather talk than watch anything.

It never even occurred to me until I joined this forum that people might consider getting quality alone time on New Year's Eve to be "sad". I will spend and always have spent the day alone - and wouldn't have it any other way. A good meal, a good book, good food and good wine is all that's needed.

I hate it too.

1 I'm stupid and sentimental and I miss the old year. Like I said on the random thread if 2018 would ever come back I wouldn't miss it like an old dying friend.
2 There was all that pressure to party when I was younger although that's gone now.
3 There's pressure to sing Auld Lang Syne even though I don't believe in it and most people don't even think about it and just sing it anyway.
4 Idiots set off fireworks these days and I hate fireworks.
5 It means Christmas is over
6 I hate resolutions. Resolutions means you have to improve. And they never stick.
7 I got insulted massively (not sure what to call this. Sort of racist? Sort of xenophobic? Bigoted whatever) in public by these drunken adult strangers when I was 13 and I've never really got over that but if I bring it up people think I'm making a fuss.
8 My stepdad ruins every holiday with an argument.

I do like Only an Excuse and party games with my family and food though.

I'm usually in bed by 9 or 10PM. I'll wake up on New Year's Day at 5 or 6AM and toast the new year with a damn fine coffee to two! I was never much for going out at night. I live alone, so there is no pressure to do anything but what I want.

I'm very much the same, Pete. I will likely do some reading and catch up on some chores. I will also be looking for tennis matches for the new 2019 season.

I see it as the funeral for the year, because the year has died. Every year, I write what was good and bad about the year and I tell the year that I’ll never forget it and write “goodbye and goodnight” to it.

New years can make me worry because you don’t know what is going to happen in the new year and if it will be good or bad. I like thinking it will be good, so I like them for the “fresh start.”

This New Years Eve is alot better than last years. Last year the neighbors were making aLOT of noise upstairs by talking loud & playing loud music when me & my girlfriend were trying to sleep. We got up & went downstairs cuz the noise was too loud & rite after the neighbors also went downstairs & they started cheering very loudly. I haven't heard any noise from them this years so I think they went to a party or something.

I'm right there with you.
