Am I pathetic for staying in on NYE??

I am 35, single and most of my friends and family are married with children. I don't have a huge number of friends and most of them are staying in with their children/partners and I haven received any invites to anything so I will be in on my own on NYE. I don't particularly like NYE and suffer with anxiety so don't really mind being in and not having the hassle of going out but when people have asked me what I'm doing the reaction I get makes me feel like a complete loser and look at me pityingly. It makes me feel pressured to have super exciting plans and like I must be really boring because I haven't.

Am I pathetic? Is anyone else in a similar boat? Have you planned how you'll spend it?

NO!

NYE is THE worst night of the whole year.

Everyone is out, desparate to have a great night because they think they are supposed it. Its extortionate, people are more drunk and just generally more cranky. Being single, you are just going to attract every desparado alive tonight, who think they can't have a good night without hooking up for a cheap, sobery snog with an ambition of being able to get their end away. They certainly are not interested in a relationship.

Its shite!

The expectation and hype never lives up to the reality.

More people end up in A & E than any other night.

Enjoy a night in and think about how you freed yourself from the bullshit. Seriously! I bet you've had a better evening in, that you ever would have had out.

I hope you've had a nice quiet evening in, not stewed over it and realise just how many people think its over rated.

Happy New Year everyone! Staying in was fine - felt a bit sad not to have anyone to say happy near to in person but apart from that it was ok.

I hope 2019 is a great year for you all xx

We got dressed up to go out. Ds2 was refused entry. Dh was cross and upset. We all came home, got into our pyjamas/slobbing stuff/dressing gown and went to bed at 11.

Not our finest NYE!! Sad

Why was your DS2 refused entry Oblomov?
