I don’t care because Valentines is just a day. Getting candy on sale after is what matters

I mean there’s a difference from being sad in your room to yourself or being like today kinda makes me feel extra lonely to your friends. You don’t have to be all happy if you’re not. But it is weird to idk be bitter or take it out on happy people in a weird way about it

people are entitled to being sad and having feelings towards the day but making it everyone’s problem is weird. being mean and shady to couples just because you’re single is just hateful. no one said valentines was just about couples either, celebrate with your family, your friends, it’s a day all about love!

For me, the emphasis on Valentine’s Day being for couples is why I get sad. But I agree, that’s no reason to ruin someone else’s happiness

You are allowed to exist as yourself and ruin the vibe. It does ruin the vibe for some, bc empathy exists, and that is what fosters human connection, individually and as a community, something everyone needs even if it’s sometimes a nuisance to get.

This post is basically doing the same thing that single people do to couples on vday. “You knew you were single yesterday” and y’all were a couple yesterday and them days before and after. Y’all can go be cute and not put it in everyone’s faces. I can be sad and not put it in everyone’s faces. Stop making our lives other people’s business!

As a girl with an overall big heart I love Valentine’s Day. I hate so much that it has become all about couples when so many other countries recognize it as a day for all love, like friends and family. If you’re single on Valentine’s Day, don’t be mopey. Just think about the people in your life that mean the most to you and tell them how much you love and appreciate them

I can kinda understand the sadness in the sense that it’s a day where being in a couple is emphasized but the people that really throw me off are the ones that are really bitter towards couples about it 😭

As a person in a committed relationship you guys have every right to feel this way. Yea u knew u were single yesterday but sometimes you get hopeful on Valentine’s Day that somebody might hyu or you might meet somebody and when u don’t it’s a huge let down and it doesn’t help feeling rejected and ugly while seeing everyone else being so happy and in love.

It was my first Valentine's Day being single after 2 years and I did not let it ruin my day. I did things that make me happy. I hung out with my family, read, took a nap, listened to music. The whole day was amazing!

I think Valentine’s Day just sort of makes you think about how maybe it would be nice to not be single sometimes when you are. So I get being maybe a bit sad about it

I only get sad bc the one Valentines that I actually had a partner, they gave me a horrible gift (it was too sexual and in public when he gave it to me) with some chocolates when he knew that I always get stomach issues when I eat chocolates. Im just inwardly bitter that I haven’t had a good valentine’s.

i agree. you single on the 14th just how you were on the 13th. you’re entitled to feeling however you feel but trying to make other people feel bad cause you’re single or ruining valentine’s day for other people is weird. i’m single this year and loved valentine’s just the same. that’s a day i spoil and love myself.

I think I didn’t know how to take the post because there’s lots of ways to take it. It kinda sounds like they’re saying people aren’t allowed to be sad and that that’s weird if you express sadness, but expressing it by being mean or shady yeah ofc. I think everyone would agree with that

yes there’s def many ways to take this post. i think it’s kind of human nature to have those feelings but i’ve personally met a lot of people who get really weird during valentines and say stuff like i hate men just because i tell them i have a boyfriend. i took the post more so as people getting more “weird” on valentine’s day in particular. people can def be sad and i understand that though

there’s ways to celebrate it still i feel like, wear red and pink, get yourself pretty flowers, hang out with your single friends, self care day. but again people r entitled to being sad it just gets weird when they feel the need to try to make you feel bad for having a partner

yeah i disagree with how the post kind of frames it as people can’t be sad. people can be sad all they want but they don’t have to be mean to other people tbh. i’ve met people who get triggered just by seeing couples live their lives and do things like walk together

yeah i can see that, but it’s like thee day couples celebrate themselves. couples shouldn’t intentionally rub it in people’s faces but they should be able to post and just be happy together. to me the post is referring to people who are sad and rub that in peoples faces. but yes it goes both ways for sure

Yeah let me elaborate: you’re allowed to passively ruin the vibe if that’s what you’re just existing normally does. Don’t actively go out of your way to rain on someone’s parade

Right? I remember going to the Denny’s on Valentine’s Day alone to do hw one year (boyfriend had broken up with me four days before). I must have looked so sad, they paid for my entire meal - for not just Valentine’s Day, but the next day when I went in, too. 😭🤟
