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!
That would not be celebrating new years alone, though.
That’s like saying if you order a pizza on NYE then you aren’t celebrating alone because the pizza delivery guy is there.
But will be give you one off the wrist?
If they stay below table level, you can pretend they’re a droid
If you have money, you can set that challenge to Easy with some cocaine
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.
Be warned, take out/ delivery on NYE usually takes 1-2 hours longer if you’re in the city. Lots of cancellations too. It might ruin your evening.
Excellent warning. Might want to order very early in the day and reheat if necessary, if it’s good enough/worth it.
Welp, too late now.
Start with a 2013 video game and end with a 2014 video game after midnight.
The game after everything is the way to go, also put some time into figuring out a good movie!
Me: shitty fast food, cheapish beer, and watching the Star Wars 1978 holiday special.
It’s all uphill from here.
Drink heavily, masturbate furiously, and fall asleep in a puddle of your own shame by 9pm.
9PM? Common now, what’s wrong with 9AM?
If you start drinking early enough then you can take a nap and be ready for the evening drinking.
My grandpa told me not to listen to a random idiot in the internet.
This is what the Internet is for. Nice!
That’s suicide by pickles
Yes, this.
With star trek.
Fun will now commence.

I like to pronounce that word “bourgeoisie” just to piss people off
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?
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.
Bottle of champaign and watch some fireworks
Champagne?

Fake hurting.
Actually it’s a french word. It means “fake bread”

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.
Christmas, New Year’s Eve, birthdays; you name it buddy. I lie down and try to fall asleep by 7pm.
Has anyone said masterbate furiously?
Try to time it so that you go off at exactly midnight.
Each timezone.
Yes
Violently
Almost too much it’s concerning

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.
