discussion Are people who hate Valentine's Day bitter or is there a valid reason to hate it?

Haven't been single in a while and still hate valentine's day. It's the taylor swift of holidays. A total cash grab. 

 

If you're in a relationship and you need a day a year to celebrate it, it's... Not it. 

That's literally  called your anniversary and that's what me and my bf agreed on. VDay is basically useless to us.

Hate is a strong word, but it is cringe tbh and just an opportunity for businesses to make some money out of it. If you want to use that though as an opportunity to celebrate your love in your own way, that's cute.

It’s probably bitterness, but I know a few people in relationships who don’t like it because they’re not romantic.  Idk, not my problem, I think it’s a cute holiday.

The concept is great, but it is problematic to spend so much for a date compared to the next couple or friends or family that don’t put an emphasis on the dollar amount. Social media has rotted our brains to think the worth of your relationship during Valentine’s Day by the amount you spend

I always get my bf a handwritten card at least. All the heteros can have their fairytale, I also want my fairytale my way

Exactly! Thank you! That's something a couples share! They met on that day.

I mean I don't care for it, just like Xmas.

I just hate how society expects you to participate with going out to eat and giving gifts and candy to your loved one. I will not be pressured to show love for my SO just because Hallmark says I need to, I show him love 365 days a year. 

 

I will continue cooking a good meal for him and cuddling on the couch with some popcorn on the 14th.

What happened with the throuple?

[Bussea]

people who hate valentine’s day as adults are big losers tbh like why do you care so much. i can see why people don’t like you

[Tudors]

If people don't care about valentines they just go about their day like any other day

[needs]

I am bitter about it as I'm single. 

[SupremeGoddess]

if you need to dedicate a day to your relationship and validate your loved ones maybe you should rethink said relationship and how much you actually love your loved ones 

 

sorry i don’t follow herd mentality  

 

also, many people are severely depressed because we live in a world that doesn’t value individuality and self love so capitalist (yes) holidays that profit off of people’s emotions and manipulates people into feeling bad and lonely does not get my participation. same applies with christmas

I've never actually had a Valentine, but I always did love the holiday and its concept. Someone like me, I just use it as a day to, especially, practice self-care and self-love. People may look at that as being "sad," but I think it's an especially beautiful thing to be able to say, "I love myself."

 

I have the day off and am going to just go out and treat myself, to some shopping and good takeout. Sue me.

Still strong. I was avoiding the judgment I would get in this thread. Thankfully our bf doesn't like the idea of VDay either 

[Cain]

I don’t hate it, but when I was in a relationship we always thought it was kinda lame

 

Like doing something extra for your relationship because of a commercial day is… kinda cringe idk

[flower moon]

i mean its cute if youre a high schooler. i havent thought of that day in years

[UnusualBoy]

I mean, it's their choice if they want to hate it. I for one do not care about that date but don't mind it.

[kataraqueen]

The people in this thread are so intense about this like sis just go have dinner and give each other some compliments like is it that serious ma

[Alldeezy]

Because it's a stupid day

 

However this year apparently but Tasmania boy is sending me gifts on the 14th. So maybe I'll like it at least this year.
