A few years ago, I spent New Year’s Eve flying solo. Passed the time with a mix of baking, movies, cooking dinner, a long walk, doodling, and a bunch of Sudoku games. The night was dry, so I stepped out close to midnight, had a sip of whisky under city lights to see the New Year in. Then I popped an edible and fucked off to bed with a Netflix Lullaby. Best of luck too you!

A lot of champagne I guess

Christmas, New Year’s Eve, birthdays; you name it buddy. I lie down and try to fall asleep by 7pm.

If you like videos games you could do that

I will be reading books, watch some netflix (Star Trek voyager and prodigy) then sleep.

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.

Not sure what to recommend. Last year I spent it by listening to taxi drivers wishing happy new year to each other via their radios using SDR. But that was more like just 2 minutes as the new year came. Still, plenty of drunk phone calls around 1am.

Anyway, that’s probably not much of a fun activity, and it’s not likely you have SDR either.
Probably just watch some movies, order some better (in taste, not quality) food and enjoy those. Maybe go fire some quiet fireworks like fountains, if you fancy those. I say the “quiet” bit as a dog owner.

Do you game on xbox by any chance? I’m spending this NYE alone because I’m generally a hermit/loser. So I’m probably gonna smoke weed like chimney and play battlefield 2042, must like I do most nights.

You could join in, if you’d like.

I’ve considered going out alone, trying to meet some people. But it’s just so sad.

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.

So what are you doing finally?

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.

There’s usually a bunch of new years events like at a bar, concert venue, or restaurant you can go to and just hangout

Please know that it is ok to be alone on special days. Don’t feel sad. It’s just another day.

I am taking the metro train to downtown with my bike. I will ride around a little, stay for the fireworks, and then take it back home. Easy enough. You are obviously going through something so don’t make being alone on new years eve too significant. Stuff happens, and hopefully you come out of this stronger.
