Is there anyone doing anything exciting for New Years Eve?

Or anyone dreading it??

I hate New years Eve and have done since I was 16. I used to go to bed early and sleep through it, but now people set off fireworks so am no longer able to do that.

I will be alone this year. All my kids will be with their partners and my youngest son is going to stay with my mum as he goes to my sisters new years eve party.

I am invited to a New Years party together with people I barely know and whom I don't have the best chemistry with. And that is unfortunately the times where my anxiety is more likely to show up, when I feel I can't be myself. I just want to have fun, but in stead I'll probably have to sit around a table end engage in polite, totally non-interesting small talk! But at least it is better than to sit at home...
I hope!

Eat Chinese food!

Last year was horrible! I was a guest at a party where I didn't know anyone but my sister and her husband: really awkward.

Really? It would be great to be be with people I liked, but I'd rather sit at home alone than be with a bunch of people I don't really like and feel anxious with.

I was invited to my sister's NYE party. I've declined the offer since I feel that even if I am a real loner, I'd rather have some dignity ...being that I've gone to her parties enough in the past and been with her friends enough.

I figure that I don't need to be around people. ...and that I have enough dignity and respect regardless of that I am a social misfit and isolated.
A friend of mine is here for the week from Queensland (North of where i live in Australia) and she said that we would get together -however, that was for Wednesday and today is Sunday. She has not even called me to explain. ...I consider this quite poor, since I don't NEED her to spend time with me. And I think that if she has no good reason for not contacting me, that her planning to do something with me and not even bothering to call me at all -well, basically I reject being pitied or treated as a candidate for charity.

....I actually even find it ridiculous that people -my friends- could consider me so very unfortunate. ...This strikes me as a narrowminded assessment of people. And I don't forget who I am just because life is a bit tougher now at this time.

My boyfriend arrives tommorrow and as some of you will have read I live in Turkey. I will also be with my homeshare. We 'put off' Christmas day in order to celebrate at New Year. Here is Bayram and New Year celebration so ...finally I will receive my gifts from Santa :wink: . Also, we will take homemade sweets to the neighbours and pass on our good wishes for the forthcoming year. I will make it a quick affair as I don't know how long I will last and my friend hates doing all the talking.
Can I take this opportunity to wish everyone 'A Happy New Year' and 'All The Very Best' for 2007...and also 'Iyi Bayramlar' ve 'Yeni Yil Dileklerim'.

:lol: Süpersin sağol, sana da iyibayramlar ve yeni yıllar :)

Surpsingly this year ill not spend the new years eve with my family, ill be with my only social phobic friend, we ll watch movies and chat nothing exciting, but still its better than staying with my parents.

ive got several invites to parties, but im not gonna go, because I hate it when Im trapped somewhere, and New Years Eve I cant leave until 12 or i will look rude / wierd!!! To be honest its such a pointless celebration ( i dunno if i mean that or if im just bitter that i never enjoy it :twisted: )

Gah I hate this day, I keep trying to remind myself its just another day like littlemissscareall said. Just because its conventional to enyoy yourself doesn't mean I should be...
I had a rare invite to go out and I turned it down. People will stop asking altogether. And I try to convince myself that its because of this and that. Because of the people that'd be there, or because I've been feeling down, or have put on weight over christmas. Theres never gonna be a day when I don't have any excuse though. They're gonna stop asking.
I promised myself I'd go where ever I was asked to go, even if I hated it, so I don't completely lose touch, maybe even improve. I've broken that... although I suppose there's still time to change my mind... I just don't want to. It's just another day though like you say.
Sorry about the rant.
Hope 2007 is better for all of you. And merry belated christmas Mick :)

I am!! I hope 07 will be better than this year. This year I actually talked, but I want to actually feel something. Some confidence.

I hate New Year's Eve for two reasons: 1 - When the clock strikes midnight its basically the end of the holiday season and nothing really happening for a while. And 2 - I always look at it as another year gone, another year wasted really. I reflect back on what I have achieved and progressed and see I have done very little, infact other than making some progress with SA, I don't think I am in any different position from this time last year. That makes me sad because I want so much but SA restricts me. Hence why I am so determined to overcome SA.

I haven't had a New Year's Eve outside of my home for some 7 years, since I had a good social life as a student. But New Year's Eve is so over rated, you have to pay a fortune to get into pubs and clubs, its so busy that you cannot even get to the bar, its impossible to get a taxi home, if you do it costs like 5 times the usual cost, so had to walk miles home.

I think it is a special day, I mean its the last day of a year, it should be celebrated in my opinion, we should all end the year in style and be happy.

I just hope this time next year things have really improved and my life has really moved on. Fingers crossed!

I'm not overly fond of New Years Eve celebrations.

I'm fed up of having to find an excuse when people ask me what I'm doing on the night. What do you say? I also get jealous when I hear what everyone else is doing.

That's exactly how I feel. For me, all holidays are just another day. I don't like to go to parties or social events.

Yea, I also hate it when people ask me what I'm doing or what I did for the holidays. Usually, I just make a quick, evasive response and ask them what their doing for the holidays. This is a very effective way to avoid self-revelation. Most people love to talk (brag) about all the things they have planned for the holidays.
