For reasons I may not disclose freely on the internet. I am going to celebrate new years eve this year by myself. Does anyone know of ways to solitarily celebrate new years eve?
Note: Englisch is not my first language
Edit: Thank you all so much for the responses. I ended up making it a good movie night, and watched the count down on tv. Along with some retro video games, plus pizza. All things considered it was a night well spent!
If you don’t have a lot of money, you could try masturbating every hour until midnight. Conversely, if you do have a lot of money, you could also try doing that.
If you have a lot of money you can also have someone do it for you. Treat yo self!
My alone NYE when the wife is working is typically a dinner of hors d’oeuvres type foods, made throughout the night. Cheese and crackers, some summer sausage if I have it, puff pastries with spinach or Buffalo chicken, pigs in a blanket, mozzarella sticks, maybe some samosas, even pizza rolls. For entertainment, a good video game or two and several of the NYE streams on YouTube to make fun of.
Looking forward to seeing how God awful the Planet Fitness show is this year! Dick Clark and Casey Kasem are both rolling in their graves tomorrow night for sure.
Drink heavily, masturbate furiously, and fall asleep in a puddle of your own shame by 9pm.
9PM? Common now, what’s wrong with 9AM?
My grandpa told me not to listen to a random idiot in the internet.
Christmas, New Year’s Eve, birthdays; you name it buddy. I lie down and try to fall asleep by 7pm.
That’s suicide by pickles
Eat a healthy homemade dinner, go to bed early, sleep well, and wake up the next day feeling great and ready to take on the new year.
Watch your favorite movie or play your favorite game, especially one you haven’t seen in a while
Get hammered, play Baldur’s Gate 3, pass out at 3am.
Whatever you want! When I have free time alone (a scarce commodity) I like to read, maybe have one drink, listen to music.
If it’s not by choice and you don’t want to be alone, go out and have coffee or a drink, watch people.
If you are trying to make it meaningful, do a ritual. Like write down what you want to get rid of, what doesn’t serve you (anxiety, whatever troubles you) and burn it, let it go. A time that’s unusual is a good time to make changes that you want, to interrupt habits.
Dude, just get a bunch of weed and alcohol of your preference and just enjoy… I’d give my right leg if I could spend new year’s eve alone… or any other eve for that matter.
Has anyone said masterbate furiously?
Yes
This might not be the answer you’re looking for but the way I see it, it’s just another day, and we generally put far too much pressure on it and on ourselves on it, and that it’s perfectly fine to not do anything special.
If for your own reasons you really do want to celebrate anyway, try and make/order your favourite meal, think of a good movie or two that always make you feel nice, and spend your evening enjoying those, but most importantly - don’t feel down or bad for being alone, there’s nothing wrong with that, and even if it feels like there is, this one night has very little significance in the grand scheme of things.
I will be reading books, watch some netflix (Star Trek voyager and prodigy) then sleep.
Did it more than once and it wasn’t bad at all. Get some food you like, some nice movies/games, a stroll around the city to see people going crazy at midnight maybe, maybe a drink at the bar and then to sleep as soon as you’re tired without having to stay awake to make other people happy… I enjoyed it when it happened…
Do some random acts or act of kindness on that day or night in addition to the things that others said.
