Excuse me but you had 12 months to properly implement a change in your lifestyle and all of a sudden you decide to take action just because the clock hits and resets to zero. Its a foolish mentality. New years is a made up numerical date invented by the ancients who roamed around for thousands of years do you think they gave a flying crap about new years? Did they ever go around telling people " new years , new me! " when we all know your going to be on that same couch munching on stale funions asking yourself why you cant seem to get boys rustled at the food court. Your only lying to yourself when you say such propaganda.

DRAG THEM bajaboy!

no let people be optimistic

Yes because more than half never change.

But somebody change throughout the course of the years (i.e get older or grow up) - that's a different story.

Well yeah that's a more natural process. The "new year new me" approach is more forced and unless there's somewhat of a set plan for specific changes someone wants, it probably won't happen when they want it to.

its about optimism and hope. Going by ur logic every festival is pointless christmas , haloween etc so why celebrate them? it gives joy to people... its easy to find reasons to be sad about but u have given me a million reasons (buy on itunes) .

I mostly see this saying from thots on my FB page trying to find a new boytoy for the next year while still hoping her thunder canyon returns back to normal elasticity.

I think people need to look for something else to cry about and get they sticks out their butts

No, I hate pessimists who try to s**t on other people's goals. How does it hurt you if they don't follow through? Say what you want about the calendar being "made up" but our society is still heavily reliant on dates and deadlines and January 1st is a fresh start that you can use to gauge how far you've come at the end of the year.

idk i think it's funny

I hate it in the sense that you can be brand new at any time. You don't have to wait until the new year to become a better you. Start now. 'New year, new me' is so fraudulent cause you're not gonna change overnight just because the year changed. It's literally just a brand new day in which you are given every day.

tbh And they go and get a haircut then take 10912312 selfies and put it in a new album titled exactly that

no

No, I like it. It can be a good motivator and it has helped a lot of people to change, i.e. people quit smoking because of a new year resolution, lost a lot of weight or changed their unhealthy lifestyle. So why not?

You must be butthurt. No friends to celebrate New Year huh?

Obviously you wouldn't know anything about social life since you vent your frustrations on an online forum, but life isn't always going like it should be. ****** job, ****** situation, ****** gf/bf... People just want to get a clean start and what better way to do that is at the start of a new year?

The fact their optimism annoys you, says alot

No because it's just a joke that people say when they are feeling optimistic about the future. You don't wanna go into the year saying "Well I'm going to stay a broke bitch". Speak positivity.

Anyways, New Year, New Me

Why thank you for your helpful words

i cant wait for midnight to hit so i can say those exact words
