Think you’re the only ones hating New Year’s Eve? Wrong.
Almost everyone dreads the time of year when all the people you meet on the street stop asking you “How are you?” and start torturing you with the question “What are you doing on New Year’s Eve?”
Yes, you read that right, torturing.
Because, compared to New Year’s Eve, going to the dentist for a tooth abscess seems almost fun.
And the more years pass, the more we get gastritis when we think about how to spend New Year’s Eve, for 5 very specific reasons.
This is why it’s common to hate New Year’s Eve
1. We HAVE to have fun
On New Year’s Eve, we must be happy, have fun, be with friends, go to some cool place, and document all our (perhaps even fake) happiness with photos and videos, which – of course – we must post on social media at the stroke of midnight.
It’s impossible not to feel the obligation to be excessively happy.
But isn’t “Staying at home is the new going out”?
2. “What are you doing on New Year’s Eve?”
A question worse than the worst nightmares.
If you hate it too, it’s because you belong to the category of people who resist until December 30th when you find yourself simply forced by the rules of civilized coexistence.
Usually, the one asking this question is conditioned by point 1, already distressed by their social inadequacy and trying to make up for it.
3. There are no gifts
New Year’s Eve is not like Christmas.
On New Year’s Eve, there are no gifts.
Can a party really be considered such if there are no packages and surprises to unwrap?
4. The New Year’s Eve dinner
After an entire week of doing nothing but filling ourselves with food, the idea of the New Year’s Eve dinner on San Silverstro’s night destroys us.
5. Resolutions
There they are, arriving punctually even more than a Swiss watch, looking at us with a reproachful face as if to say, “Remember, this year is the right one. It must be the right one.”
And in the end, we always end up with the same resolutions we had already planned the previous year, which were supposed to happen in the one before, and that I promised three years ago.
Something must have gone wrong over the years…
