My year felt like just another 2020. And 2022 will probably be the same. I got fatter and more frustrated with life. Very few good things happened. Maybe I'm negative but nothing that nice ever happened.

No. 1008365

It was a lonely romanticless year for me, but I learnt so much about myself and finally got into my first graduate job in September after feeling hopeless in 2020. I saved a fifth of what could be a deposit on a house and finally started my pension. Only positive vibes for 2022.

I'm glad this year is ending, I need a fresh start. my year hasn't been dreadful but I've had to learn some hard lessons, had some big disappointments, my depression came back full force and had moments I thought I may need to be hospitalised. I also had some great moments! moments that lead to heartache once they were over though. I learned this year I can't hate myself better, or happier.

My year was balanced I think. It started off really well but during the middle it went to complete shit. I relapsed in my depression, there was some retarded friend drama that happened due to an instigator in our group (we resolved it thankfully but not without casualties), and I wasn't nearly as productive as I hoped I'd be. It's ending pretty well too which makes the awful middle not seem so bad now. To every anon who had a bad 2021, I'm sorry and I hope next year is kinder to you.

My year had some big challenges but some worthwhile successes too, so I don't feel dissatisfied with it but wish the worst parts hadn't happened.

Mixed bag for me, there were some great moments (new job, bought an apartment and finally saw my favorite band live), but I think all the isolation from the successive lockdowns fucked my brain and all the progress I made the past few years was set back to zero, I'm an asocial mess and I don't have many friends left, my depression flared up for the last three months after being dormant for years. I'm not expecting much from 2022, I'll settle down quietly while trying not to off myself due to Covid restrictions.

No. 1009487

I was isolated, not because of covid but because that's just a consistent theme in my life. Isolating myself because of whatever underlying issues drive me. It's been much of the same really. Other people are complaining about covid holding them back from living but for me I know the cause of my stagnant life runs pretty deep.

I got a grant for work on my house, I managed to get through weeks of strange workmen coming and going. That was a challenge but glad I sucked it up and coped with it. I spent a couple nights away during the work, timed during the noisiest parts of it. Booked a hotel and had a lil solo trip that was probably the highlight of my year.

I didn't give in when my dad attempted to waltz in walk all over me after being absent for a while. That's a cycle I'm glad to be breaking. Saved myself a very uncomfortable visit from him.

Low point was when I lost my shit over an ex reaching out and using my dad as a middleman. I got drunk a handful of times to deal with the stress and then swore off alcohol. Haven't had alcohol since the summer. Good decision considering I've never been a social drinker. I would drink infrequently but still.. always when alone and stressed.

Also in the summer I met a guy that I'm crushing on. Nothing happened. I still bump into him sometimes and I still feel something. I'm hoping next year I can make at least baby steps in making friends or maybe even a partner when chance meetings seem to be handed to me like that. I feel like a couple of social/romantic opportunities slipped through my hands this year, through my inaction and the fact that I think my walls are much too obvious. Overall, more boundaries needed with my dad, but I should let my walls down more in general. Those are the main lessons I'm left with.

I finally broke up with my boyfriend. No other reason than the relationship running on fumes and feeling like he didn't love me anymore, just kept me around for comfort. I'm currently living with family while looking for an apartment. Got a new job, but not a steady one, so the future looks really uncertain and kind of scary since I'll be standing on my own feet and living alone for the first time ever.

My ex has messaged me on how he's experiencing depression and insomnia for the first time in his life since I left. This guy who constantly told me to "just cheer up" or "please don't be sad, you're going to make me sad" now wants me back or at least stay friends. I don't know how to deal with it yet. I'm just mad because I was forced to break up due to his indifference, and he could have prevented all this if he just gave a damn about me when we lived together.

The year has been quite sad and frustating due to all of this as well as the pandemic making everything relating to moving away and getting a new job so much harder. Due to me always having lived with roommates or my boyfriend, no one really thinks I can do anything on my own. I'm scared of potentially failing and having to rely on others again. There's a weird pressure and sadness going into 2022, because I feel like I have to prove something due to all the decisions I made this year.

Don't buy into his "wuwu I'm sad now bc you not here" shit. Men will take for granted your presence and comfort, and only walking away will trigger any sort of regret, and not for you, but for your services.

Had this happen but with my dad lol. He spent years thinking my legit depression was me being an emotional woman, just cheer up.. heard it a million times. I don't tell him shit anymore. Stopped telling him anything years ago. Fast forward to now, moms gone, he's retired, we all have busy lives and commitments so he's lonely and depression is actually a real thing that he has. Just like that depression is real.

It's hard to care when they've been the exact person to not give a fuck about your lows. Stay strong anon. Don't let him pull you backwards. He'd only appreciate you for 5 mins before old habits will return.

I'd rate my year a strong 6/10. There was alway something shitty going on. I started off living with my ex and getting tinnitus but I was a few months into my proper first job that was nicely paid. Then the job got REAL shitty quick but I moved into a perfect apartment of my own, then I got a nice new job at the same pay but started a slew of health issues.

Right now I've been waiting 8 days for my day 2 pcr test results after travelling and have spent christmas and will now spend NYE without friends so it's ending on a low. I just need to sort my health out and I'll be on my way to being a content individual with an OK life. THEN I can work on making my life better than average. Baby steps.

The bad: I had a mental breakdown, left my job and cosy apartment and moved back in with my parents in our shithole country that I fucking hate to be a friendless mentally ill NEET.
The good: I didn’t lose anyone, I’ve never looked better, my family loves me, and I’m taking baby steps towards recovery.

>How was your year?
My close friends/family/pets all stayed alive, I got a good job, avoided Covid, solid 7/10

>Are you excited or sad?
Kind of numb because everything is OK, and when I'm comfortable I don't know what to do with myself except obsess about my flaws and create anxious disaster scenarios in my head.
>Did you learn anything new?
Therapy can actually help me. The solution to stress from over thinking is to DO Stuff, not spiral into a fresh web of re-thinking my paralyzing thoughts. Learned a little more about music too!
>Had new experiences?
My new job has led to a lot of new experiences which I am still coping with though they're all good things. I might actually have a career trajectory for the first time in my life which is scary but exciting. My relationship feels stagnant and my body issues are at an all time high, my new years resolution is to go back to therapy because my mental illness is suddenly my biggest problem in life.

It was alright. My job went back to normal, after major interruptions last year due to covid. I drifted away from some of my friends. I got angrier about certain things. I did a lot of art.

2021 was insane for me. I had to repeat a semester of uni, I had the craziest hookup of my life, I got my heart broken, I finished my degree, I dated a male stripper, I walked straight into a job in my field and blew my bosses expectations far and away, and I started saving proper money for the first time in my life.

I was just reading through my diary entries of this year, and rediscovered innumerable musings on my incompetence in social situations or the pain depictions of love in media inflicted on me. I no longer relate to this whatsoever. I have made so many friends and became so social again, just like when I was a little girl, but better. I have grown so much to the point people call me the most social person they have ever met, or christen me a social butterfly. I have networked so extremely much and traveled abundantly. I met up with strangers and went on adventures with them, I experienced an extremely romantic and fun summer romance with a cute guy, I met my first boyfriend and lost my virginity, all whilst I sobbed at the image of two people in love in movies because I didn't believe that would ever apply to me. I now have a boyfriend, friends and I am even surrounded by loving family when just a few months ago I was constantly trying to run away from my abusive household. I'm very proud of myself and will definitely return to the thread to share more reflections of this ilk.

I feel like it was a very neutral year; neither omgamazingwowwonderful nor omgthatwasawfulfuck things happened so I'm grateful. Honestly, my every days have blurred because I haven't done anything of note which isn't good. I said last year that I was going to study to get a new job but I haven't done that and it makes me feel bad and lazy for not doing it. On the other hand, I moved to another apartment from a smaller one and even though this one isn't hugely bigger than the other, it's got a nice balcony with a nice view. Nothing interesting going on in my personal or romantic life, but I did acquire a fwb that I get along with well in every way. (Please don't hate me, anons, but I just want sex and some companionship and I don't want the responsibilities of a relationship right now.) There are a lot of things, old and new, that I want to accomplish. That means that I want to spend less time slacking off and more time being productive. Good luck, anons, and (almost) happy new year!

The new year scares me for all the newfound responsibilities I will have… But I hope things are temporary and I can make better art. I will strive to thrive and I know the first 6 months might be difficult but I'll do my absolute best

I've been very happy with this year. Nothing spectacular really happened, although I guess getting a new salaried job would count, but it just doesn't take a lot to make me happy anymore.

I still have a roof over my head, I still get to eat nice, hot food and sleep in a warm bed at the end of the day. My parents come home safe every night, and I come home to my senior dog still with us. It's really lame, but after my last girlfriend broke up with me at the end of 2018, my life has been on an upward trajectory. Things are not super amazing, but they have been enough. When the pandemic hit in 2020, just being able to end the year with all of my friends and family with me was the greatest thing.

I do not need the universe to give me much of anything. There are bad day and there are good days, and I get to be here to experience it all. Being alive is a gift, and I'm grateful I got to have another year of experiences.

Good things
>got a new job which is right up my alley and has a schedule that maximizes my free time
>made a really good friend, which is insanely rare for me
>received a windfall of about 20k

Bad things
>binge/restricting as usual but was mainly stuck binging and gaining weight
>barely been exercising
>losing interest in my hobbies, feel really guilty and stressed and sad over it
>couldn't travel at all
>had braces the whole time, they're coming off in Feb

This year should be very different but fuck knows if it will be better. I was planning on moving out in Oct, couldn't because of covid - but that's kind of a blessing since I've been able to save money since then. So I'm going to renovate and splurge on furnishing it as perfectly as possible. I feel like moving out will be a big catalyst for change… it could be a disaster as I'm not used to looking after myself, but who knows? It could mean better eating since I have more control over what I keep in the house. I might consider dating or having sex. I can invite friends over and be more social. At the very least I'll be a 'real adult' and can be proud of that.

2021 was pretty clutch for me. Grew closer with my partner, made some great food, took some really nice trips, went to the beach for the first time and multiple times, hung out with so many friends, discovered a local yoga studio, paid down a shit-ton of my loans, got more control of my spending habits.

And finally, closing out the year with getting hired for my first salary job. Next year, I turn 30! So excited for my future.

222 is my angel number, so I have high hopes for this year. Cheers everyone

No. 1011743

2021 was pretty rough for me even though I can't really think of anything explicitly bad that happened (other than the pandemic obviously). My suicidal ideation was the worst its ever been and I know that there's no guarantee that a new year will make any difference to how I've been feeling. Nonetheless, I hope everyone has a happy 2022 and 22 is my lucky number so I hope that's a sign for something. I'm sure that it isn't just me and that things have been really rough for a lot of us, so I'm rooting for all of us to make it through another year regardless of how tough or lonely it might be. Thanks for being here for me nonas.

Honestly, 2021 was pretty good for me, despite the pandemic. I finally worked the entire year full time despite having a very hard time getting any kind of job the previous years, managed to get a better job at some point because I started with a call center job, I had enough free time to hang out with friends once the lockdown/curfew was over in my country, I played a bunch of video games I liked a lot and I have now less video games in my backlog, I'm wasting less time online by starting a tumblr blog where I just post whatever I want and follow nobody at all. I saved a lot of money in case anything happened to me. The only real issue would be that I still don't have my own place to live and living with my family is draining but that's nothing new, and with my current situation I could be very close to finding an apartment I'll like. If there weren't any pandemic I'd say it'd be one of better years I 've had so far.

>boss fucked me over in the summer so i couldn't go on holiday long enough to see my family that i haven't seen in over 2 years

>when i got sick not one irl friend asked me how i was doing the whole time i was sick

This past year has been shit for me but I'm trying to stay positive because I finally got a better paying, less stressful job. Having extra money will really turn 2022 around for me.

I'm hoping to save up some money to move up to NH/Mass later this year to be closer to my bfs family. I'm so anxious to get out of this shithole town I'm living in right now, even though I'm sad to leave my Southern state.

A lot of highs and lows this year. I got married and we bought our first home. My dad disappeared for 6 months on a drug-fueled bender and tried to kill himself. His irresponsibility has ruined my mom's financial stability.

I went outside. I traveled cheaply by bus and talked to the people next to me, I went to events at cafés I discussed on meetup where people congregated to discuss things I like, I attended events advertised on Instagram, I got a new job where I interacted with a lot of people, I made friends with the acquaintances of my friends and boyfriend. I actually met my boyfriend on a dating app. I don't recommend it but that's the only reason why I met him. As for the romance thing, he was a long-term online friend and we decided to just enjoy ourselves for the summer and meet up.
