A disappointing New Year

Mate you are far, far from the only lonely person on NYE. This year I happened to be invited around to the house of someone I was dating, but the previous 2 NYEs I think I was at home playing PS4 and watching TV.

There's no reason to feel down about that, but if you didn't like the experience of not doing anything on NYE I suppose the only thing for it is to make a proactive effort to make new friends and/or find a partner.
 
I was working on NYE till 10pm, got home made a coffee & watched other folks fireworks at the front door with the Girlfriend then went bed. :)

We had a really hectic Christmas with family & friends because we got engaged on Christmas Day, so we was having a quiet New Year.

It's hardly an important holiday tbh, an anal social construct for savagely shallow people.

This. I was at work all day on the eve and got called out early morning on the day itself and I was in bed before midnight. Its just another day and another year, why people put such a silly context on things is beyond me.

Said every man with no friends :p

Ha I've got plenty of friends but you have to admit that all big events are basically just commercial ventures.

Yeah I do agree to some extent. I think a lot of these events have historically had meaning which has been eroded due to rampant commercialism. Whatever true meaning they held has pretty much all but gone.
 
Like anything, you get out of friendships what you put into them. Small things go a long way and I only really acted on this past 35. Congrats cards, moving in presents however small, a thoughtful text, taking a friend out for a beer if they're down etc.

If you find yourself in a position of feeling without friends, ask yourself what you have done for your friends, not what they have done for you.
 
Yep, I pretty much agree with everyone in this thread

This year I decided not to send any HNY texts to see how many I'd get. Received two :rolleyes:

2016 will see me become a lot more selfish about myself. I'm going to spend a lot more time on me, than other people. When I think about, people only get in touch when they want something. No more!
 
Dates on a calender dictating when you should be happy?
Erm, no thanks Geoff.

There are three more months of rain, slush and cold to get through yet, let's not all burn out too early here chaps.
