I got not one message saying Happy New Year or anything else. I have a small circle of friends and i'm there for them when they need support. I could tell they were online so could've messaged me but they didn't. I generally feel lonely and very alone in this world but I sat and cried and then went to bed. Anyone else feeling like this?

Did you message them to wish them a happy new year? I’m asking kindly.

RainbowBriteUk · 01/01/2022 10:32

@CriminalOrator I did most of them, yes.

Yes, I know exactly how you feel. My mum died a few weeks ago, my teenagers were doing their own thing, my DH is totally not understanding my grief at the moment and the few friends I have appear to have disappeared off the face of the earth since my loss. I felt very alone last night.

Sorry you're feeling this way.

I'm wishing you (personally) a Happy New Year.

Perhaps your friends were just waiting until today (seems the likely explanation) to send messages.

I didn’t send any HNY messages until today even though I was online last night. Maybe it’s as simple as that.

Yes. I feel lonely every NYE. This year was hideous. My mother died a decade ago and I haven’t seen my father in 3 years thanks to covid.

Happy new year @RainbowBriteUk

This years new year has been a non event for me.
Yesterday I helped one fiend move some stock and do council paperwork as she’s in the middle of a shop relocation, dropped some things over to another friend yesterday and we had a chat whilst her dogs all competed for stroking.

I have a small close friend base, and a wide friend / associate base so would normally have been spamming messages out and in.

We’ve only had some group chat messages and I’ve liked those rather than given any

You’re my first Happy New Year
Let’s hope that things move on and that 2022 is a bit better building upon tiny change in 2021 and that we gradually get out of all this

Yes, last night was horrendous. I was still annoyingly awake at 11:30 and full of anxiety about midnight so I put my earplugs in, led in the dark, covered my head with a pillow and STILL heard the fireworks at midnight.

I feel completely emotionally steamrolled today. So lonely, so sad. I had to struggle to leave the house earlier.

It's the worst NYE I've ever experienced and I never want to feel like that again. 😢
