So I was really looking forward to New Year's Eve. I never really liked the holiday, but this year was different. I made plans with a friend (who is also, primarily, my brothers boyfriend, we all get along super well) to watch my favorite animation and ring in the new year with my family.
Now all of a sudden, she and my brother have decided to celebrate NYE at her house with a friend. So now i'm left all alone. Yes with my parents, but that's not the same. On top of that, I made plans to call my best friend, but she says that wont be possible, because she will be with other friends.
I know that, objectively, no one did anything wrong, but I just feel so left out by my brother and his girlfriend. I don't know what to do and now I am really kind of dreading NYE. I almost feel like pretending it doesn't exist and just go to bed early.
Does anyone have advice? Should I say something to my brother and my friend/his girlfriend? Should I just sit this one out? Should I try to find something else?

You only have one 2021 New Year. Spend it how you want. Also consider your parents. How are they going to feel? And if you do end up wanting to go with everybody else, first reach out to your brother to ask about it so you won't embarrass everyone for not inviting you. If he says no, that would be odd.
ReplyThank you!
ReplyThey could have invited you and didn't so I don't think they want you there. It is a pity you don't get the Sydney harbour bridge fire works on TV because I watch that. You can treat it like any other night and ignore it, or go out anyway by yourself to a night club if you can with this Covid, and if you are over 18. Or if you have a casino near you that is open go there and play the machines.
Nine years ago my daughter was like you. She could go to her friend's house for new year's eve and didn't want to go because she said it would be too boring. During the day my son turned up at my place and said he was going to a party so I asked him to take his sister because she was complaining so much about having nothing to do that night. So he took her along to the party and she met a guy there. My son said everyone was standing around drinking and talking except for his sister (my daughter) and this guy who were lying on the floor covered with a blanket under the Christmas tree carrying on with each other. Kissing etc. Anyway, she brought this guy home with her and he has never left, and this year they got married. He took on the two kids she previously had and they have a child between them. So you just don't know what is in store for you.
