Think you’re the only ones hating New Year’s Eve? Wrong.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Almost everyone dreads the time of year when all the people you meet on the street stop asking you “How are you?”<\/em> and start torturing you with the question “What are you doing on New Year’s Eve?”<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, you read that right, torturing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because, compared to New Year’s Eve, going to the dentist for a tooth abscess seems almost fun.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

This is why it’s common to hate New Year’s Eve<\/h1>\n

\"party-presents-gift-woman=party\"<\/p>\n

1. We HAVE to have fun<\/h2>\n

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,<\/strong> which – of course – we must post on social media at the stroke of midnight.<\/p>\n

It’s impossible not to feel the obligation to be excessively happy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But isn’t “Staying at home is the new going out”?<\/em><\/p>\n

2. “What are you doing on New Year’s Eve?”<\/h2>\n

A question worse than the worst nightmares.<\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Usually, the one asking this question is conditioned by point 1, already distressed by their social inadequacy and trying to make up for it.<\/p>\n

3. There are no gifts<\/h2>\n

New Year’s Eve is not like Christmas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On New Year’s Eve, there are no gifts.<\/p>\n

Can a party really be considered such if there are no packages and surprises to unwrap?<\/em><\/p>\n

4. The New Year’s Eve dinner<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

5. Resolutions<\/h2>\n

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.”<\/em><\/p>\n

And in the end, we always end up with the same resolutions we had already planned the previous year,<\/strong> which were supposed to happen in the one before, and that I promised three years ago.<\/p>\n

Something must have gone wrong over the years…<\/p>\n
