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.
Get yourself a good dinner takeaway, favourite drink, choose a movie you would like to watch, and end it with some retro video games of needed.
The game after everything is the way to go, also put some time into figuring out a good movie!
With star trek.
Fun will now commence.
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.
It’s traditional to play lots of video games. Trust me on this one.
Two years ago, I played Terraria, last year was Valheim, and this year I’m still deciding. I might play Valheim again. I’m working on a base that is absolutely huge.
What will you be playing?
Plot the downfall of the bourgeoisie.
I like to pronounce that word “bourgeoisie” just to piss people off
What do you do any other night you’re alone? Do that. NYE isn’t special.
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.
Christmas, New Year’s Eve, birthdays; you name it buddy. I lie down and try to fall asleep by 7pm.
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.
Has anyone said masterbate furiously?
Yes
Violently
Try to time it so that you go off at exactly midnight.
Each timezone.
Almost too much it’s concerning
Get hammered, play Baldur’s Gate 3, pass out at 3am.
LOTR marathon drinking game
Spend it in quiet contemplation of the year behind and the one ahead if you want. Not every holiday needs to be a party.
For 2023 I made a resolution, for the first time since the 90s. The resolution was to have $5000 in the bank.
I pushed hard, got up to about $3500, then my housing situation changed and I had to pay higher rent. The savings rate become quite low assuming perfect discipline. I don’t have perfect discipline so my savings rate was just a couple hundred a month.
After the moving expenses I’m back down then slowly up to about $2k in the bank.
Overall, I failed to reach the $5k, but it did change my relationship with money in a major way. Until this year, until I decided to make savings my top priority, I was always living paycheck to paycheck. I’m 41. This has been my entire adult life: worrying about whether I’ll make the next round of bills. Often asking for extensions on my rent. Paying lots of late fees.
This year is the first time I’ve lived with any kind of financial surplus. When my rent is due I don’t even check my balance I just pay it. All the other bills are on auto. It’s such an amazing feeling.
So that was last year. This coming year my goal is to be present for people. I’ve lost too many friendships from neglect on my part. And Ive passed up too many opportunities to connect, because I wanted to maintain my freedom.
My whole life Ive separated myself, doing everything I can to cut ties and maintain flexibility. My resolution this year is to stay present for the people in my life, to commit to and fulfill some social obligations. To stop worrying so much about how I feel and focus more on what I can do for people.
Well said. Good luck with your resolution this year.
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.
