Does anyone else feel sad when its valentines day?

[Akam93]

I do because I dont have anyone. :(

[Cynicaldreamer]

No, it's just another day of the week for me. I'll admit, when I was younger and insecure, I hated Valentine's day. I got depressed and sad seeing other couples on Valentine's day with their gifts and how (supposedly) happy they were. It made me feel like no one wanted me and I equated a relationship status (or lack of) with my self worth.

Until I got older and realized it's basically just a commercialized holiday and if someone really cares for you, they show it year round, not just on a specific holiday. Nor is being alone or single on Valentine's day any different than being single the rest of the year. It just means you haven't found the right person yet, or you're happier alone than in a relationship depending on your circumstance.

I mean it’s just another reminder of my loneliness but I think I feel the same level of sad that I always do

[Guy2809]

Yes and no. Honestly it is hard to remember the good times with someone you loved, but it did not work out. Social media will show you many couples enjoying a great Valentine Day and that may hurt. But in the end, you should know that social media is not always real, and if it is, well those are somene elses´ stories. Believe me when I say that it is better to be alone that with ill company. Even if I miss having someone shower me with love and attention on that day, I know that I should not be with someone just to avoid been alone. Been down that path and messed up my life. Even if you regret it, consequences are real, so, it might be aday for reflection.

[serious]

What is there to feel here?

It is just another day that's all. Okay so what if you are single? It really should not matter. Logically.

Even I have always been single and to me that day is just insignificant and so I don't care.

If you simply wish to go out then you can definitely with your acquaintances or if you have friends. You can also talk to people either online or in real life if you need company. There are so many options, you really do not need that special person or partner. In my view that is.

[DarkCarousel]

It doesn’t bother me to be single on Valentine’s Day, for the most part because it’s so commercialized. It bothers me at random other times but I just enjoy life as much as possible.
Do you have friends or family you can spend time with? That helps.

[roryglimore]

Valentine doesn't always to be with a romantic lover. It can be with a friend you love, family, cousins.. And I would suggest spending time with them is better, they're the most trusted people and they know you for who you are. I don't have a partner either, I don't need to be sad. Instead, being single is the most incredible thing to do. Focus on yourself girl and get that girlboss day you need

[Anonymous]

It reminds me that no one loves me. Last year a friend with benefits came over and afterwards told me he had to leave because he had a date. Another was kept reminding me we were no strings attached just to make sure I wouldn’t get the wrong idea since he picked Valentines Day to fuck me. And the last one told me all about this great girl, who he thought I’d really like because we were so similar, while he was literally in my mouth and in my ass. he didn’t even understand why I started crying.

[Anonymous]

Hell no. Even if I was single I’d still be happy. Saves me a lot of money for one. Two this shit is played on women as far as these corporations making men feel like shit I’d they don’t get their girl something. Because the companies know women fall for this bs, kind of like women getting into clubs for free cause the clubs know men are going to flock to where the women are at and buy them drinks. Why do you think they have Galentine’s day? Lol so pathetic.

[cryscrys1]

Who cares it’s just a business day to sell chocolates ( to make people diabetic ready for Pharma meds$ ) and plush pillows combined with victors secret underwear 70$ a piece because they read “love” in it.

[boggboss]

Nope before I had a partner was just another day more so then not I'm sad now I have a partner because its another day to spend money because society says so

[Ligerzzero]

Absolutely hate this day, makes me mad and envious to see all the people in relationships, and just want to see all those people break up and be miserable and single.

[NamerOfStars]

Hell, I don't even have a groundhog for groundhog day. OR a shark for shark week.

But hey, you can still dress up as a Roman centurion and decapitate a priest, so at least there's that!

[fantasticass]

Nope, it's a good excuse to buy something special for yourself. I bought motorcycle parts for myself for Valentine's day 🇨🇦🙏🏍

[Akam93]

What kind of motorcycle? I have a street glide.

[Paul09]

Lol you can do that anytime of the year.

[NamerOfStars]

@Paul09 Right, but then they wouldn't be Valentine's motorcycle parts, and you'd need to come up with an excuse to decorate them with photorealistic hearts engulfed in flame and surrounded by dancing scorpions.

Probably unnecessary note to Ms. Fantasticass: "it's badass" is an acceptable excuse.

[Gibbons44]

Not particularly sad - I am not ashamed of being single/not having married yet.
It is those around me who have married or coupled up whilst I haven't that need to be shamed and blamed and made to feel unaccepted.

[LilMissLeanna]

Meh it is a dumb holiday for selling stuff to people. If you are single just be your own valentine and treat yoself

[NewsReader]

Single my entire life and never cared about valentine day. It's just another day. And that's the good part.

[TheVigilantFox]

Couldn’t care less, it’s just another day, I don’t even take any notice like I don’t with any holiday.

[Straight2thepoint]

Nope not weak minded to let marketing and social acceptance. People love you you don't need a reminder or trash that should cost ⅓ of the cost. But as a human being that I am. I'd like to say. I love you. And stay strong. All of you are worth it.

[WhitneySnow]

Sometimes but when I’m single on Valentine’s Day (which I’m not rn) I thank God for my friends

[MysticDevice]

I don't have anyone either so it gets a little irritating seeing the happy couples everywhere. But that quickly fades when I see them all arguing afterwards.

[Guanfei]

I'm more than sad, actually, it makes me really mad, envious, and in general, that day, I try to cut myself from the world.
People don't realize that Valentine's Day is also a reminder that us eternally single people are alone.

[Paul09]

I do too. But not because I'm lonely (still sucks to be single). Because valtines is cringy and invented by stores to sell products at overpriced prices! And you you love your partner only once a year? Lol

[NathanDavis]

nope, no reason for me to feel bad about marketing...

[FunkyMonkee]

Only slightly and, for the same reason but, as I've been alone most of my life (all but 10 Valentine's Day's), it really doesn't bug me, much.

[Levin]

No, I just laugh now. I've reached the stage of delirium. You can't beat that.

[OfMiceandMen]

I could care less about V-day. It's just a money grab.

[Adam1978]

No I couldn't care less about that day. I don't need a special day for that kind of stuff.

[DryGermanGuy]

This day is only another invention of the sales industry. Don’t let them bother you.

[Deepinthought345]

Does that mean that you'd only prefer someone just because it is Valentine's day? Discard him after?

[Akam93]

I'm not like that. I actually have feelings. I want someone I can share everyday life with is all.

[Deepinthought345]

You deserve to be happy. I hope you find someone

[CateM]

It wouldn't matter to me as I have to work on valentines day

[AsaKyo]

I did when I was in high school when I got broken up with pretty much every Valentine's Day, but not this year

[Ms_Facesitter]

I feel angry when it is valentines day. It feels forced.

[LovingJo]

Yes and no.. But to be honest, it's just another day, to me!! 💯

[DarkWinterNights]

Meh, I’ve always thought it was a stupid day. But I also won’t pass up any Valentines Day Sales.

[Babygirl_S]

Not at all. I am single because I want to be. I only find it unfortunate that there's a dearth of really attractive guys.

[LiamJHayden]

I don't. I see it as an excuse for most to spend the rest of the year ignoring the little special things that should be done far more often.

[Gilgalad]

Yes, it's depressing, makes me feel alone when I wish I was with someone so I could take them out to a valentines dinner or something.

[Daniii101]

Hang out with some friends and family, that helps trust me!

[TacosRAwesome]

I do because it's cringe. And I don't have anyone.

[Hardworkingguy]

Well I don't have anyone either but it doesn't really bother me. It would be nice to go out with a nice girl

[PatriceONeal]

Nobody feels bad for a 30 yr old single woman. You could have a man but let me guess they just don't measure up to your expectations.

[Fuentes]

No because as long as I got the money that's all I need. It's just a day no different then any other day, so just enjoy yourself

[CeyCeylovestoask]

Nah.. pretty much another day. I mostly do self-care, hang out w/ the people I love.. I've never felt sad. To me everyday should be valentines day, this day is pure marketing unfortunately

[Iron_Man]

Now, because of that reason, because of another reason

[zagor]

Never bothered me in the least. It's just another day as far as I'm concerned.

[BJP21]

Girl are we Neighbors? DM me. I need a Valintine.

[Rohaan2020]

I don't... and I don't have anyone too... u should be happy you have you... ur happiness should not be based on someone else being with u😊😊

[Paulychicagoluv]

I dont. I usually don't realize it's that day until someone says it.

[TrillXHippy]

I have never done anything on that day so it is what it is

[spitinthewind]

The companies pushing the holiday don’t care. That push you feel is their influence to sell their products. It’s just another day otherwise.

[karl219]

Nope not me. I’m a restaurant server and it’s prob one of my favorite days because I love making the couples time together special

[Ulies]

How can you be lonely? I bet you’re really picky or something

[Anonymous]

I get depressed too because I have no money to go anywhere.

[Taylor_C]

I do too. I don't have anyone either.

[BCRanger10]

No, even when I was single, I didn't.

[Nikki1989]

I am rarely sad over anything.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

I don't celebrate anything

[Fromdusktilldawn]

I never spend Valentine's with anyone...

[krin_m]

I never cared for it.

[Breanna_nonbinary]

I feel sad everyday.

[Anonymous]

I'll be your valentine every day!

[Avicenna]

I don’t

[call_me_scar]

Yeah and ditto

[abc_dc]

No, I'm happy
