Do you find New Year's resolutions hilarious?

I was having a conversation with a friend who said that she's never believed in New Year Resolutions and found them to be silly and hilarious. I argued that people can make those promises and stick to it, but she was not buying into that. Do you agree with her mentality?
 
I never bother making any New Years Resolutions myself, as I know they'll almost certainly be out of the window by the end of January. I do like hearing about other peoples' plans and promises to themselves, but I always hold them with a bit of skepticism... never really understood why people feel the need to share their "get fit" plans for year or similar, especially when they know deep down it won't last. 🤣

The part where one would need the consistency is where I think people fail to push. It's not been easy for anyone at all to keep pushing at that rate. They will always want to continue with their new year resolution, but that is not as easy as we make it look.
 
Honestly I used to make New Year Resolutions, but I never went through with them. xD I think lots of people set a goal, start it right away in January and then forget about it as the year goes on.
 
I might make some new reading goals for myself but other than that, I don't really participate in any New Year's resolutions.
 
no one ever keeps them
Someone might but we wouldn't know. I will agree most people don't keep it.
It can be one of the reasons. Setting such high standards can be discouraging and not healthy for anyone planning to make changes in the New Year. Setting realistic goals should come first at all times.
Yes, it's why they mostly fail at it.
 
I am on the fence when it comes to such views. Though people admit that making resolutions is great for New Year and as a matter of fact, I find that most of them fail to stick to these goals. Maybe they set unrealistic goals and this results to disappointments.
 
I had a new year's resolution not to drink alcoholic beverages in 2025. Unfortunately, I have already broken that resolution 😂 😂 😂

😂 I'm right there with you! Sometimes it feels like our brains expect us to be able to transform into someone new overnight starting. To be honest, it's really a battle field and it isn't easy at all.

I wouldn't say that New Year's Resolutions are silly or hilarious, I used to make them myself some years ago but because I couldn't always stick to them or even complete them,I stopped.
