TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - As the year comes to an end, the city starts to get even more bustling than ever. People flood the streets and gather to welcome a new beginning, often with lots of bangs.
This vibrant atmosphere captures the spirit of the New Year, but for introverts, this can be overwhelming. Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean introverts have to miss out on New Year’s festivities.
So, if you're an introvert looking to end the year on a strong note, here are some unique New Year’s Eve ideas for introverts that won’t drain much of your energy, as highlighted on Introvert Dear and Rapture Surfcamps.
1. Reflect and Set Intentions
The end of the year presents an opportunity for self-reflection, allowing us to draw lessons from the past. So, take some time to journal about the highs and lows of the past whole year.
Not only reflect on what you’ve learned but set specific intentions that you hope to achieve in the next chapter. Review previous goals that have not been fulfilled yet and be sure to include them in your New Year’s resolutions.
2. Have a Movie Marathon
Enough with the resolutions and let’s just get into the fun part. This New Year’s Eve, how about staying up all night binge-watching some movies or TV series? Snuggle up while munching on a stash of snacks with your favorite movies on screen.
Either watch free anime on Muse Asia on YouTube or get a Netflix subscription, choose what suits you the best! With no interruptions and the remote in your hand, you’re in for a perfect night.
3. Dive Into a Good Book
Not really a movie person? That’s totally fine! If you’re a bibliophile, get lost in a captivating story amidst the New Year’s festivities.
Curl up with a book you’ve been meaning to read, resume that one chapter you haven’t finished, or revisit an old favorite. Pair it with a warm drink and a cozy blanket for the ultimate reading nook vibes.
4. Host an Introvert-Friendly Party
Most of the time, introverts can still enjoy a party, as long as the people they feel comfortable with are always around. But, in case you’re not in the mood for all that hustle and bustle, invite your close friends for a small gathering at your home.
Spend quality time together over a home-cooked dinner, engaging in meaningful conversation. Liven up the night by playing board games or indulging in hobbies that you all enjoy.
Gather up and put on a horror movie for spine-chilling entertainment. Unleash your screams and beat the noise of the new year's horns.
5. Watch Fireworks from Afar
Skip the crowds and watch the fireworks from your bed. Many pyrotechnics shows are now live-streamed, including those over New York’s Time Square. As Time Out reported, you can watch the fireworks shows live from the warmth and peace of your living room through TimesSquareNYC.org and TimesSquareBall.net.
These New Year’s Eve activity ideas may seem way too indoorsy to some, when in fact, introverts can still capture the joy of outdoor activities (although they can easily be overwhelmed).
To unleash the fun, call up your closest friends and spend New Year’s Eve in big cities, like Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur. Find more on our websites to see the best places to celebrate New Year’s Eve in these cities.
