How to reach out to friends at New Year?

[JDixon95]

Hi everyone,

I am just posting to ask for some advice about reaching out to friends at New Years Eve. I am impacted by a condition called Aspergers Syndrome that impacts my social functioning. That said, I very much do my best to overcome this and have quite a lot of friends who always say nice things to me when I speak to them - albeit, sadly, none of which I feel close enough to ask to be with them on NYE. It is a bit more difficult for me this year as my Grandad, who I was very close to, passed away from a stroke in July. I have spent the last 10 New Years Eve nights going out with my Grandad, so this year feels really difficult without him.

Could I please ask for advice on either reaching out to and asking some of my friends to join their celebrations or suggestions of anything I can do on NYE. I live quite near London. I am looking at seriously paying £329 for a River Cruise tonight just so I can be with people.

Thanks so much for any advice, I sincerely appreciate it.

tl;dr - How do I reach out to friends at New Year?

Did you have any success OP?

Hope you're getting ready for out OP!!

Wondering if you manage to arrange anything op??

Hope you are doing something enjoyable tonight op, whether that's on your own or with friends. Well done and keep reaching out, have you thought volunteering? It's often a good way to meet new people. Best of luck.

I hope you either got out or had a good night in. Even if you didn't get out, at least you are on people's radar for next year.
