For reasons I may not disclose freely on the internet. I am going to celebrate new years eve this year by myself. Does anyone know of ways to solitarily celebrate new years eve?
Note: Englisch is not my first language
Edit: Thank you all so much for the responses. I ended up making it a good movie night, and watched the count down on tv. Along with some retro video games, plus pizza. All things considered it was a night well spent!
If you don’t have a lot of money, you could try masturbating every hour until midnight. Conversely, if you do have a lot of money, you could also try doing that.
If you have a lot of money you can also have someone do it for you. Treat yo self!
That would not be celebrating new years alone, though.
If they stay below table level, you can pretend they’re a droid
That’s like saying if you order a pizza on NYE then you aren’t celebrating alone because the pizza delivery guy is there.

I treat it like any other day and ignore all events focused on relationships, but I’m partially disabled and unable to do anything social. Just do whatever you find interesting in life and ignore the “celebration” the memory will fade into the background like all the other days and you won’t have depressive repercussions due to self reflection.
I’ve spent holidays alone or travelling in the past. I also enjoy watching streamers on Twitch like Will Neff who do weekly movie nights, watches entertaining YouTube videos like Roll For Sandwich, and shows like Survivor on stream. His discord community hosts a variety of events when he’s not streaming. At any given point you can usually catch his community members watching movies together in a voice call or just while chatting. My suggestion would be to find a streamer that you enjoy watching or a community that participates in events together on mediums like discord.
That or just get sucked into a really good show. Whatever works for you
Get yourself a sixer, kick your feet up and do whatever the fuck you want!
Bottle of champaign and watch some fireworks
Champagne?

Actually it’s a french word. It means “fake bread”
My alone NYE when the wife is working is typically a dinner of hors d’oeuvres type foods, made throughout the night. Cheese and crackers, some summer sausage if I have it, puff pastries with spinach or Buffalo chicken, pigs in a blanket, mozzarella sticks, maybe some samosas, even pizza rolls. For entertainment, a good video game or two and several of the NYE streams on YouTube to make fun of.
Looking forward to seeing how God awful the Planet Fitness show is this year! Dick Clark and Casey Kasem are both rolling in their graves tomorrow night for sure.
Drink heavily, masturbate furiously, and fall asleep in a puddle of your own shame by 9pm.
This is what the Internet is for. Nice!
9PM? Common now, what’s wrong with 9AM?
If you start drinking early enough then you can take a nap and be ready for the evening drinking.
My grandpa told me not to listen to a random idiot in the internet.
There’s usually a bunch of new years events like at a bar, concert venue, or restaurant you can go to and just hangout
Bejba, that’s kajnda krejza (reference to the Polish entry of Eurovision 2023)
With star trek.
Fun will now commence.
This might not be the answer you’re looking for but the way I see it, it’s just another day, and we generally put far too much pressure on it and on ourselves on it, and that it’s perfectly fine to not do anything special.
If for your own reasons you really do want to celebrate anyway, try and make/order your favourite meal, think of a good movie or two that always make you feel nice, and spend your evening enjoying those, but most importantly - don’t feel down or bad for being alone, there’s nothing wrong with that, and even if it feels like there is, this one night has very little significance in the grand scheme of things.
Did it more than once and it wasn’t bad at all. Get some food you like, some nice movies/games, a stroll around the city to see people going crazy at midnight maybe, maybe a drink at the bar and then to sleep as soon as you’re tired without having to stay awake to make other people happy… I enjoyed it when it happened…
Christmas, New Year’s Eve, birthdays; you name it buddy. I lie down and try to fall asleep by 7pm.
