New Year's Eve doesn't have to be any different to any other night, just because it's somewhere notable on the kitchen calendar.

Don't let it worry you, don't give into any pressure of it being special because it really isn't. You can make it special if you want, but only if you want to.

You have the choice to say "fuck this, I'll choose my good nights when they happen." A calendar printed months in advance and bought by thousands of people doesn't know more about your future than you do.

There's something wrong in life when society builds up one day a year to be so sacred that it makes people feel bad because they don't have someone to shag that day.

I'm sorry, OP. It seems that holidays can be hard for this reason. Just try not to think of it as a special night, maybe. In reality it isn't really any different from any other night. Make it special in your own way.

I understand. This particular holiday can hilight a solitary situation. I wouldn't dream of patronising you by suggesting you think of those worse off so the best I can say is its only one night/evening and will soon be over.

" I'm sorry, OP. It seems that holidays can be hard for this reason. Just try not to think of it as a special night, maybe. In reality it isn't really any different from any other night. Make it special in your own way. "

I struggled massively with the festive period for years. There's someone I wish I had in my life, so it'll be hard again this year. However, I have found a lot of peace and calm from letting go of all the stress and expectations of this time.

Now, I just ignore it as much as possible, float through it and go for walks in the beautiful Welsh countryside. I also focus on enjoying Jan and doing nice things.

Speaking of Wales - Marc/Courtenay - I did notice you were here recently. I honestly wasn't hoping to meet you in any way (cross fingers/hope to die!), but I'm a frustrated tour guide and love messaging visitors with tips/ideas.

It matters a lot to me that people have a nice time in this beautiful but rust rating part of the world. I'm a soppy emotional Celt

I don't do Hogmanay. I'm always astounded by the looks of pity when people ask what I'm up to and I delight in telling them that I'm doing absolutely nothing. A lot of my friends think I'm odd but that's okay with me.

I have a variety of invitations to things but I'd rather hang out by myself. It's just another day to me, happily I get a day off work which is an added bonus and I won't be hungover.

In your bed

Stopped doing anything for new years when we were about 20.

It's a random integer designated as interesting due to the cyclical rotation of the earth around the sun.

There are actually many new years.

Chinese new year will be along soon.

The Christian churches new year.

Islamic new year.

For those of no faith, the new tax year is on its way.

The educational year runs from September.

Also every time you have a birthday it's a new year for you individually.

I have a love/hate relationship with the whole of Christmas,my ex husband destroyed our young family a week before xmas a number of year's ago and even though I don't really consciously think about it it's there in my head. I would like to stop feeling the pretence of being happy infront of the kid's and actually be happy.

Only you can do that. Waiting for someone 'special' to make you happy isn't the way forward. I'm a firm believer in loving yourself and making your own happiness. Relying on someone else to make you happy is a sure fire way to hit disappointment. It's within your control to be happy and not pretend for the sake of the kids. You need to process the past and look at the future... your future. If you meet a special someone then that's a bonus but waiting on that happening means your life is passing you by in the meantime. I hope you work it out.

Do you have anything to look forward to in January - a holiday, a day in a spa being pampered, a trip to see a good friend who lives away, starting a new interest etc?

I found my Christmas/New Year phobia eased greatly when I gave myself things to look forward to. Doesn't have to be much, doesn't have to be expensive.

Now, I kinda give the festive period a decent shot, but when everyone else is dreading January, I'm actually looking forward to it.

I bumped into an old mate yesterday. We're meeting in early Jan - something as simple as that raised the spirits.

I'd recommend Wales in January for windswept beauty and marvellous Fabbers

I know what you're saying and you're right. I just crave and miss someone's soft touch,I miss holding hands making plans,loving someone feeling their closeness. I feel like an outsider in life looking in. I have a lot in my life to be grateful for I know that,there's just something missing.

Sounds an idea - a change of scenery is important sometimes. I find I think much clearer in unfamiliar surroundings, where I can't get sucked into day-to-day tasks etc.

Wales will be bracing in January, but much of it is lovely at any times (bring waterproofs).

I mentioned in a previous post I was gagging to do my tour guide bit recently with other Fabbers - I'll put together a proper message (I'm not after anything here, honest!).

I'd prefer to PM it if possible, because in saying a lot about the area it'll say a lot about me. If that's OK, is it better it goes to your single account? If PM is not a good idea, no worries - I'll write something here.

Working hard to make January nice/fun/relaxing is great, honest!

My first thought reading the post was must be a friends with benefits couple and I read the profile to confirm my instinct on the matter, not that it's relevant to the issue she's raised

"well get yourself out in a crowd for nye, many a relationship starts when that clock strikes 11:47pm Whatever you do, have a good one

Thankyou! I was going to go to a club at least,but 'monthly stuff' has got in the way of that. There are no crowd's around here where I am.

Can't you still go, just for the social aspect?

I don't know really,the guy that I may have been going with would probably want to play rather than just socialise. I'm a bit rubbish at chit chat to be honest so wouldn't go by myself.

I understand. This particular holiday can hilight a solitary situation. I wouldn't dream of patronising you by suggesting you think of those worse off so the best I can say is its only one night/evening and will soon be over.

Thankyou,I can alway's rely on you to talk sense. I know there are far worse off than myself,it's just the emptiness I've been feeling for a good number of year's surfacing for a while.

It's true that there's always someone worse off but it doesn't help when you're feeling rubbish.

I'm glad you think I talk sense...you're the only one who does "

You do talk sense,you know you have those people in your life that you actually really really listen to and you don't want to disappoint them I would imagine you're that kind of person

"when I'm spending New Year by myself! Now don't get me wrong I do have family I don't need to spend it alone,but having someone special in my life would be great

There's something wrong in life when society builds up one day a year to be so sacred that it makes people feel bad because they don't have someone to shag that day."

...or when other people offer you sympathy on those days when actually, you are blissfully happy.

It's my birthday tomorrow and I've spent many of them alone or working and it's not a big deal at all. My 50th was epic though, I still laugh and smile thinking about it.

" I'm sorry, OP. It seems that holidays can be hard for this reason. Just try not to think of it as a special night, maybe. In reality it isn't really any different from any other night. Make it special in your own way.

I have a love/hate relationship with the whole of Christmas,my ex husband destroyed our young family a week before xmas a number of year's ago and even though I don't really consciously think about it it's there in my head. I would like to stop feeling the pretence of being happy infront of the kid's and actually be happy.

Do you have anything to look forward to in January - a holiday, a day in a spa being pampered, a trip to see a good friend who lives away, starting a new interest etc?

I found my Christmas/New Year phobia eased greatly when I gave myself things to look forward to. Doesn't have to be much, doesn't have to be expensive.

Now, I kinda give the festive period a decent shot, but when everyone else is dreading January, I'm actually looking forward to it.

I bumped into an old mate yesterday. We're meeting in early Jan - something as simple as that raised the spirits.

I'd recommend Wales in January for windswept beauty and marvellous Fabbers

*not being entirely serious there*

I've nothing planned at the moment with my finances,maybe I should see if I can afford to take the kid's away for one weekend that's an idea. Wales sound's lovely,where would you advise?

Sounds an idea - a change of scenery is important sometimes. I find I think much clearer in unfamiliar surroundings, where I can't get sucked into day-to-day tasks etc.

Wales will be bracing in January, but much of it is lovely at any times (bring waterproofs).

I mentioned in a previous post I was gagging to do my tour guide bit recently with other Fabbers - I'll put together a proper message (I'm not after anything here, honest!).

I'd prefer to PM it if possible, because in saying a lot about the area it'll say a lot about me. If that's OK, is it better it goes to your single account? If PM is not a good idea, no worries - I'll write something here.

Working hard to make January nice/fun/relaxing is great, honest!

"

I'll message from my singles profile,thankyou.

" I'm sorry, OP. It seems that holidays can be hard for this reason. Just try not to think of it as a special night, maybe. In reality it isn't really any different from any other night. Make it special in your own way.

I struggled massively with the festive period for years. There's someone I wish I had in my life, so it'll be hard again this year. However, I have found a lot of peace and calm from letting go of all the stress and expectations of this time.

Now, I just ignore it as much as possible, float through it and go for walks in the beautiful Welsh countryside. I also focus on enjoying Jan and doing nice things.

Speaking of Wales - Marc/Courtenay - I did notice you were here recently. I honestly wasn't hoping to meet you in any way (cross fingers/hope to die!), but I'm a frustrated tour guide and love messaging visitors with tips/ideas.

It matters a lot to me that people have a nice time in this beautiful but rust rating part of the world. I'm a soppy emotional Celt "

I was in Cardiff recently too lovely part of the world xxx

That's a really good idea. I hate New Year for different reasons...might spend it planning something instead of dwelling on stuff I haven't yet managed to change. Thanks

Self pity isn't attractive is it,it's just hit me for some reason "

All holiday events can be a bitch, but the Xmas to NYE is a long eventfull roller coaster of emotions, the turning of a year makes you look at past and future and brings into sharp focus anything that was not 100%. So I forgive you the self pity, I suffer quite badly on NYE too, even though I will be with my wife and friends and sometimes even my children, just after midnight I need to be alone, talk to the sky and wonder if my first wife can hear me, telling her about what I and the children are up to, which is hard as she died when they were very young, my oldest grandchild is older than my daughter was when she lost her mum. but it's easier than it once was, life is generally good. and next week I know I will realise that.

Don't stay in alone, get down the local pub, crowds can be lonely but the night will pass a damned sight quicker in company, and the telly is always crap on NYE...

Personally, I wouldn't call sitting at home on dating sites being all that proactive. Not sure what sites your using but most have mixer nights and social events, I've recently met someone and it was by going to such an event, that was what I'd deemed taking a proactive approach and it worked.

Of course were all different, I have quite a lot confidence in myself so the thought of going to mixers/socials alone didn't intimidate me, I realise that not everyone as the confidence to do that, and if that's the case could your friend sharing this profile with you (or another single friend) not go with you?

Glad my ramblings were of use! Honestly, January can be fun.

I've got the biggest dose of unrequited love going and I'm too ol for that shite. Looking after yourself and planning fun is essential for well-being and to get through tough times and what's perceived as a tough month.

Come to Wales too - bring a carload of Fabbers and Kagoules and it'll be ace (the accent ain't that different too). I'll supply pop, crisps, cakes and rambling bullshit.

That's a relief I thought you were getting at me .

Take this the right way but there's not something wrong with life it's what you and only you make of it.

I had two friends get divorced this year, ones spent 7 months moping around the house telling everyone who will listed how badly treated he's been etc and the others made an effort and refuses to let 'life' beat him and he's making the most of the change in circumstances.

"well get yourself out in a crowd for nye, many a relationship starts when that clock strikes 11:47pm Whatever you do, have a good one"

It's true - I spotted a Robert Redford look alike in wine bar one NYE, positioned myself next to him at 11.59.50....ended up have a passionate relationship for a few months lol!

My advice would be go out dancing with friends!!

"when I'm spending New Year by myself! Now don't get me wrong I do have family I don't need to spend it alone,but having someone special in my life would be great "

I've just worked out that I've seen in the last 16 new years on my own. I can't say it's really bothered me in the past but this year I've started to feel a bit fed-up about it. I totally understand where you're coming from OP.

I've spent it alone since I've been single.

It would be nice to have someone to spend it with and create memories but I'm not too bothered.

Not a single response other than this one so I'm not as popular as I thought!

Off the grid

I spent NYE when it hit the year 2000 on my own. I'd bought tickets to a pub do, and my best mate cancelled cos of work last minute.

I went anyway and wished I hadn't. It was so awkward as everyone knew everyone else and I'm not the most outgoing person. They had a magician who tried to take the piss out of me until he realised I was on my own and then felt sorry for me.

Yeah, so don't do that.

Buy yourself expensive consumable crap. Eat/drink/bathe in the lot. Expensive home spa treatments? Awesome film? Enjoy. Go to bed. Enjoy the minimal hangover the next morning.

There really should be singles parties on NYE and Christmas Day for people who are on their own. There seems to be such a lot of you. You should all get together.

I won't be doing it.... why else would I be asking others to come early?!

I despise housework! Though I love it when it's finished.

West Wales and Cardiff


" I'm sorry, OP. It seems that holidays can be hard for this reason. Just try not to think of it as a special night, maybe. In reality it isn't really any different from any other night. Make it special in your own way.

I struggled massively with the festive period for years. There's someone I wish I had in my life, so it'll be hard again this year. However, I have found a lot of peace and calm from letting go of all the stress and expectations of this time.

Now, I just ignore it as much as possible, float through it and go for walks in the beautiful Welsh countryside. I also focus on enjoying Jan and doing nice things.

Speaking of Wales - Marc/Courtenay - I did notice you were here recently. I honestly wasn't hoping to meet you in any way (cross fingers/hope to die!), but I'm a frustrated tour guide and love messaging visitors with tips/ideas.

It matters a lot to me that people have a nice time in this beautiful but rust rating part of the world. I'm a soppy emotional Celt

I was in Cardiff recently too lovely part of the world xxx"

I could show you some areas that'd have you re-think that pretty sharpish.

It's pretty cool though
