That sucks. I always invite my friends to things, even if I think they can't make it, or might not want to come. I'd rather have my friends decline, than for me to leave them out.

I thought giant New Years Eve parties is one of the best way to hook up with someone?

because single people can't have fun regardless of who's there? your friend has issues.

I know the feeling way to well

Op, your friends suck. You don't always need to be with someone to have a good time!

They don't want you to feel alone so they leave you at home alone? That sounds like a lame excuse they're using to cover up the real reason. Like maybe they thought you'd be a buzzkill because you're the only person without a date. Your friends are either dumb or shitty.

That would make me feel more lonely not even being around my friends. It's not their place to say how you're gonna feel. I'm sorry

Because simply asking the one person with whom such a circumstance is concerned is much more complicated than calculating every apparent or unknown factor in order to read said person's potential mind and make the decision for them. Or, more likely, your friends are just assholes.

Just because you're single doesn't mean you can't have fun.

Guess they didn't think about what you would feel if they didn't invite you OP. Hopefully they realized their mistake and somehow make up for it.
