Every year around this time, my loneliness really kicks in. This year, my family has plans for dinner and possibly going out to a bar. Now, the problem is is that my bro is bringing along his gf, and me... well, I got no one to go with. I wouldn't feel right going out with my family and not have anyone there with me. Of course, leave it to me though to not realize this until the day before new year's. I know I'm probably late writing this up, but how am I supposed to cope with this? What would you guys suggest?

I just finished reading that article. The one thing I am not is depressed, and I do get asked that from time to time. Sure, I am unhappy about being alone, but that doesn't make me depressed. I will say, however, that I have been seeing a therapist for about a year now, and yes, I do have a lot to get off my chest. I do feel better afterwards. But getting back to this, I'm not depressed. I'm just lonely.
In that case then, I think you shouldn't worry not 'bringing' someone to a bar or whatever. I think you should just realize the fact that you are with your family, and that's the important thing. cherish the time with them.
I agree...because alone at home will be my night. I'm jealous you at least have plans! Try to have fun!!!
I'm alone at the moment and I'm not going anywhere (22:30 here). But I've opened a bottle of red, lit a candle, turned the music up and lights down And I'm feeling great, for a change. Just a matter of perspective
I usually feel pretty lonely around new years, even if I'm with people. I think it might be because I know it's the end of the year, the last celebration before everything goes back to the way it was before, and quite often that's not what I want! And of course, I'm still single! Hope you felt better in the end Let us know
