You know, it really sucks being alone on nights you are supposed to be out partying with people who care about you. But oh well. At least I got you guys. Right?
.....
Right, guys?
I'd be out partying but sadly I don't enjoy partying, I get really bored and my energy drains. Why aren't you out there though?
@AhmadMetallic: Well, i could say it is that i dont enjoy partying, but this year more came to an anticlimactic finish. Its that strange point where people you care about start not having time for you but for others. I think they call it "finding who your real friends are." Oh, and the ones that Keep in contact aren't in town for the new year. That makes the whole "partying" thing with them hard. It's the first year i've actually spent alone, which is why it is significant to me.
@Bruce: I think I can understand your hatred this year.
There's nothing wrong with being alone during big holidays like this. Just make sure you have a lot to do to keep yourself entertained. You also have to understand that your friends aren't always going to be available to hang out with.

It might have more to do with the downhill reasons i'm alone. Like the actions that caused me to question their friendships with me. Someone might consider this thread a cry for help from me, but its not! Honest! >.>''
I was babysitting so I didn't go out but then again I don't give a toss about holidays anyway, not to mention that I had a bit of falling out with one or two friends. I just spent the rest of the day doing what I normally do. Except I had some whiskey and smoked my pipe. Who needs people?

Well, the wonderful thing about life is that you can always make new friends and ditch the questionable ones. You also have to take into consideration that you may be the problem. Maybe these people don't like to hang out with you and are afraid to come out and say it. Just move on and meet new people.
I haven't been out during New Years for the past three years, and I'm actually content with that myself. I finished Uncharted 2 today too, so now I can start the new year correcting one of my regrets of 2011, missing out on Uncharted 3 because I just bought all three games and then Finals and a few other things got in the way of me finishing all three of them up.

@BraveToaster: lol I am questioning myself, dont worry XD. that's why its a lonelier holiday than it would be. and do note, moving on is easier said than done. Take this all as "part of the process". not a stopping point.
Oh, sorry about that. You're not alone, I'm experiencing the same thing. I look at all of this as a necessary part of me "growing" as a person.
I have health problems meaning I can hardly go out at all and have to save up all my energy to make it to college (in the UK it starts at 16 and we have University from 18). Being 17 and watching all of your friends posting about all the parties they are having, some small and some massive kind of sucks, especially since it is the first time that all my friends are going aroudn their friends to drink alcohol. I don't like drinking or really loud places, but I would still rather not have the health problems and get to talk to people. But I have a giant sound system and a Pizza with the number 12 on it in cheese; it is just one night and I am going to make sure the next year is bloody amazing which New Years can't ruin. :)
My whole family just went to Colorado to a ski resort for a week (I live in FL) so I'm alone for the week with nothing to do...I really wanted to go to Colorado with them, but I didn't have the money. I haven't seen snow in well over a decade...This sucks.
You guys are all so weird. Being alone isn't anything to be depressed about. That is, unless you're actually lonely. Otherwise, it's just another day. Just watch some extra-good porn tonight and you'll be fine.
Alone time with guitar is still the best time to be had. I'll jam the whole night.

Yep. I'm probably going to finish off this bottle of vodka to help me enjoy this alone time I have.

@ffdthree:Man, I wish you Happy New Year. I am with my family like the other person. But I rather be with someone who understand me. It does not matter a girl or a guy. It will be fine. I just got my New Year in New York 2012. I will be your friend tonight on this forum.
Thank you friend, for the thought :) It's very much appreciated congrats on a New York Celebration though!
I sometimes do stuff but those of my friends who are doing stuff (most are nerds who don't do anything either) are partying with copious amounts of alcohol. I don't drink and I don't find hanging around with drunk people fun. Thus, I'm just staying home and playing Binding of Isaac.
Well, that and I don't really care about New Years, or most holidays for that matter.
I stopped caring about "partying" when I was 21 or 22, and even back then I never had fun at parties. So yeah, I haven't done the whole "partying" thing for a while now, and I can't say that I miss it.
@Vegetable_Side_Dish: Thankyou, all's good I have had it for almost 3 years now - and while it is debilitating it could be much worse, and it hasn't affected me mentally yet (even if it took seeing a psychotherapist every other week for 3 months for the doctors to believe that it hadn't lol). Anyway, I have a feeling it will get fixed this year, and if it doesn't I'll trick myself to think it does. :) Hope you are having a spectacular New Years yourself, and glad you got passed what ever held you back in your Teens and are striving through all problems since.
I was 17 hours ago. It was great! Had the music cranked up while the West Ham game was on. Also BBQ shapes!!!
One thing I learned this past year was that sometimes it can be good for you to be on your own.
@ffdthree: I just hope that you are feeling better, my friend. I like to be alone most of the time. For some reason, New Year Eve seems to be the hardest night to get through if you are alone. I got to say, Thank you for the Giantbomb Forum community here for all their support.
I am not sure that are you in 2012 yet? But I wish you a new year with new beginning, okay? First joke of the year, Don't believe anything the movie "2012" shown you. If you did not see the movie yet, pretend that movie just came out. (Bad Joke).
The trickle of stuff on facebook about the end of New Years night has started for me (it's quarter to 6am for me) and I am getting quite a few people talking about how drunk they or someone they know is, and too many people saying about how they will hate a hangover tommorrow = I am not sure how I should feel about this: empathetic, sneeringly happy, indifferent...? Depends by the person I guess but it does make me question why they drink so much (especially the ones who say they hate alcohol all year) when they are already regretting it before the hangover starts.
Also my cat left... bastard!
Alone tonight, too. One roommate's away for the holidays, another is with his girlfriend (I am single and I'm not going to third wheel him).
I figure some of this makes up for last year, where I spent new year's eve drunk, sleeping in a car in Mexico.
I spent the night clearing up a lot of the side stuff in Saints Row.
