Does anyone else hate New Year's Eve?

Post Reply New Topic

On New Year's Eve in Norway, everyone at my age is at nightclubs and parties getting morbidly drunk, everyone except me.
I don't have many friends, and I don't know where the parties are. For the NTs I look perfectly normal (at least until they've had a long conversation with me), so many people expects me to get morbidly drunk as well (at least it seems that way, since a lot of them ask if I was out drinking in the weekends, what I did New Year's Eve, and so on).

I hate going to nightclubs with hundreds of people I don't know. The only times I like parties, is when there's not that many people, and I know a lot of them.

Does anyone else feel that way about New Year's Eve?

I HATE new years eve. It is just WAY TOO MUCH sensory input. I stay at home, don't go out, and do my usual thing more loudly so the firecrackers and firearms going off don't disturb me as much.

I do boring things and can enjoy the evening that way - ie: at home with a book or tv etc..

It gets easier as you get older because you're less "expected" to go out raging.

I dont really understand celebrating the New year's. Why do we do it? It's one of the more pointless holidays and ecuses to get drunk ever. The again, I am usually at home doing nothing, avoiding all the parties they show on tv. Thats another thing- why in the hell would we want to watch people "having fun" and partying? Gah.

Last year I turned New Years into my anniversary. Problem solved. Now I have an excuse.

"I'm sorry, I can't come get drunk with you, its mine and my boyfriends anniversary. You have fun though"

Have fun nursing your hangover that is.

I hate New Years, too. Last year, my next door neighbor used it for an excuse to play ear shattering music until 2:30 a.m. Finally I had a meltdown, and started pounding on the wall. After that, I contacted the landlord and told him I wouldn't be renewing my lease, if I had to endure any more nonsense. So that guy had to move out.

It's a giant disappointment. A new year changes. That's about all there is to be said for it. The new year can herald the beginning of happier times for some I suppose.

I just hate all holidays. How's that?

Ok, New Years is particularly lame, it's just a transition to more of the usual, hence another pointless marker in life.

And everyone getting drunk, which I don't even drink (yet).

What a useless "holiday".

I personally enjoy new years. I love the fact that the calender rolls over, and the thought that hopefully this year will be better then the last.

I will go out to a small party for the night, or I will have 1 here, nothing big, I will drink fine beer and liqure and probably end up going to work the next day.

It is a time where I like to reflect on the past year and make plans for the future year. I use this time to gadge where I am, where I may be going and what I need to do to get their.

I am often quite optimistic about the New Year and I actually do go out and enjoy good music at a pub (if it was like the last one) and then go and then take a short walk to watch the fireworks in action.

The best part is that I am with relatives and I do try to fit in when it comes social situations (even though I easily bore people to bits).

the only holidays i like is christmas

I don't hate new year's eve, but anyway, to me it's another reminder that everyone else is out having fun with their friends, and I'm stuck at home alone.
That aside, I can't wait until this year is officially over, even if it means spending NYE at home, or at some boring middle-aged party.
