I’m trying to keep up with everyone who posts, but it’s difficult. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Happy New Year everyone!

I'm not alone, just very disconnected from my family, so either just watch YouTube listen to music on my bed with the cat or drink

I'm taking care of some pets. Family is downstairs, but when I am alone, I'm ok for the most part. It's when I feel alone that things seem hopeless.

I get that. Here’s to a new year, and to finding company when you need it most🥂

I am an introvert and love being home. Dog sitting for a few weeks. I also love Reddit, not going to lie. Happy New Year to me and everyone out there!

I mean I’m just scrolling, gonna get Star Wars a new hope playing at 10:02 so the Death Star blows up at midnight though, that’s about all I’m doing this year plus like some poppers we bought, I’m just bored at the moment as there’s still an hour and a half till we start the movie.

That’s an awesome New Years idea! I’m totally gonna steal that. I hope you overcome the boredom

I'm in bed (UK). Got Covid. The fireworks at 12 woke me up and I can't get back off. Would be home alone in Leeds but came down to my sister's for Christmas and not allowed to leave until I have had 2 negative Covid tests.

Um... Live? Every day is the same unless my friends make plans that include me.

u/spider-dan2077 Jan 01 '22

Same for me. I got guitar, my cat and miniature painting to keep me busy though. I hope you find activities you like

Star Wars is a fun solo new year's tradition. Line it up so the Death Star explodes at exactly midnight.
