New years eve blues

Post Reply New Topic

I love Christmas, but new years comes right after, and I don't like new years eve because I feel like the only person, between ages roughly 16 to 40, who is not out celebrating the new year with alcohol, among lots of people, all night long. The only people around my age who don't go out new years is because of a reason like work, kids or cannot afford it, where as my reason is social anxiety and sh***y Asperger's f*****g Syndrome. Even other possible Aspies with not many friends seem to still go out with a group of friends and party the night away, but no, I've got to be a textbook Aspie, don't I?!

Every new years day all I see on Facebook are pictures of everyone's fun night they had last night, in a bar or at some party, holding their drinks up to the camera.

If alcohol didn't cause hangovers or make you sick at all, I WOULD go out and drink and drink so much that I'd be too drunk to have social anxiety. Then I would be a normal 26-year-old, instead of feeling like a 66-year-old.

Anyone else hate new years eve?

Hate, well not exactly. I dislike new years because its arbitrary and I dot care at all for the boring social aspect. Most people aren't interested in discussing anything that gets too in-depth. I prefer an exchange of worthwhile information, not how your children reacted to their Christmas presents. Also I dislike new years eve because the warmth of the season is over during the coldest months of the year. I enjoy the season from the periphery and abruptly its over. So you aren't alone

I've never been drawn to the crazy, drunk stuff people get up to in order to celebrate New Year's Eve, not even when I was younger. One year even when I was married, I stayed at home watching TV while my husband went out to meet up with his friends. I actually prefer being at home to being at some party or bar.

If you actually want to go out and have a night like that, could you and your fiance do that together? If you want this and would enjoy celebrating this way, you should do it. Personally I get the blues being dragged out to bars and parties, lol! But if you feel left out not going places then see if your guy will take you out on the town.
