But when I turn on these NYE shows on tv, they make you feel bad that you're not out there celebrating somewhere. They make it feel like you're the only one staying at home and the whole world is out celebrating.
Anyone else feel like this?

It's carefully scripted. I feel this way too. Like these fake plastic people on tv are like, oh great it's a new year. And they're kissing and such. And I'm like, thanks that sets an expectation for me that I can't live up to. Great way to bring in a new year. Heck, I wish we didn't have calendars or holidays. Would do away with a lot of the weirdness socially.
Even people at work are like, oh what did you do? Like New Year's Eve is a competition.
