Does anyone else hate New Year's Eve?

Post Reply New Topic

I usually look forward to New Year's, especially my friend's party. However, I stopped talking to two people I know through her. They've been nothing but cruel to me, and didn't even believe that I had Asperger's. I posted a thread on here all about it, so people know what happened.

But yeah, anytime they're around, I don't exist. Which is extremely upsetting, especially since I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they love making fun of me and generally being obnoxious. And if I try to join in or defend myself, I get called a hypocritical b***h and shoved to the ground. Even my little sister would rather hang out with them than me (and she gives ME crap on being loyal to her 'cause she's my sister ><*** Not any more, I say). And I can't think of anywhere else to go. I can only hope that my boyfriend will come to the party with me, so I don't have to stick it out alone...I'd rather not go with him and his friends. Not that I have anything against them (I barely know them enough to have anything against them), but the whole thing about new people in a completely foreign place...*shudders* He knows about my AS and is very supportive (who would've guessed that he's NT?), so I think he'll understand.

*sighs* It's times like this when I wished that they could be aspies for awhile, just so those NT pricks would learn how hard it is.

I don't hate New Years, I just don't pay any attention for the most part. I turned down an invitation to a party one year, just because it seemed like a lot of effort for nothing. It required really nice clothes, and it was also age-restricted, requiring either 23 and up or 25 and up (and at the time I qualified for neither of those), not to mention that it would be a bunch of people I didn't know, beyond the one friend and his girlfriend. I opted for staying home instead. Big parties with lots of unfamiliar people aren't all that interesting to me.

Normally, it is just another day for me. The fact that a new year has started doesn't really "set in" until a few days later. Other than that, it simply isn't that important for me. That being said, though I don't hate the day, I'm a little annoyed by it this year, since I'd much rather be spending it with my girlfriend than spending it doing little or nothing.

In the last years I always get afraid or depressed before New Years Eve; to get into a nice little celebration. Most of the times I celebrated New Years Eve with my best friend (an NT) and some family. So I was happy again. A nice quiet celebration. Now my friend has a girl friend, which is really great for him, but leaves me as a third wheel on the wagon. Or to put it short, I do not know how to spend my New Years Eve!

Most of my friends are having a relation and being the only single is really awkward in these situations. People tend to focus on that and I get even more miserable than I already was. The lack of a relationship is not the problem for me, I am happy with myself. But the social pressure attached to it, that is the depressing part.

Staying with my parents and my brother would not be much fun, maybe I just rent a DVD and spend the evening in front of the TV. Well, if somebody has a good suggestion...

Even though it's "just another year gone", people use this excuse to get pissed out of their head.

For me this year it is just going to be myself, Nicola (girlfriend) and Aidan (best friend) with some beers, probably some pizza and just chill out to some music. May go on the roof and watch the fireworks at midnight - but more than likely just sit in and chill out really. Not my thing doing huge parties.

Not really , I hate christmas we have to go to places with lots of people.New years eve is my birthday my husband brings home my favourite food and a new stuffed animal and we stay in with the kids , if I had to go out I would probably hate it ,but some time around age 8 my family figured out party's made me very unhappy and frightened me, so I would go stay at my grandparents and grandma would cook my favourite food(it was clam chowder and crab legs then but now it's eggrolls and spicy chicken) and grandpa would give me a stuffed dog.

I don't like New Years eve. I don't see anything fun about being squashed like a sardine , and having tall drunken yobs paw me or blow cigarette smoke on me. I usually stay home and listen to music, read, or watch a DVD.

The only thing I hate about New Years, is when other people do noisy things, like throw loud parties or set off firecrackers.

I've never found it to be any different than any other day of the year. The calendar has to switch at some point and it really doesn't mean anything else to me. I used to have the same hope that so many others have, that the New year would be better but have never found that to be the case.

And I don't find being kissed by perfect strangers at the stroke of midnight to be particularly pleasant.

To a point but for me I think its something a lot different. If I'm out somewhere, especially at a mid-sized bar or a friend's apartment and am watching all the people at times square or somewhere like that, I get this real sickening and weird feeling like the fact that I can't be everywhere and everyone at that moment is somehow something that I feel sorrowed and weighted down by. I don't know, I've just tended to have that for a while.

Now if it was some huge exclusive VIP party with over 500 people and a ridiculous amount of sound, liquor, and a huge dance floor that you can barely walk across (like the Halloween party I went to this year) - it tends to be a bit better at least just because it seems like enough to where I feel like that need is met well enough.

I don't hate New Years, but it's just another day.

I like it better than christmas!
It helps that my venue always has a weirdo experimenta-noise party...this will be "new Years Noise #5....woohoo!

New Years Eve is always good. I like to watch New Years Rockin' Eve (even if Dick Clark isn't hosting it anymore).

Just another day in life.
