It’s gonna be weird this Valentine’s Day. I’m recently single and we had already made plans before we had broken up. I mean I’ll have 5 classes that day, including a four hour night class so I won’t be able to celebrate it anyways. But it’s more of just feeling isolated that bothers me. My roommates both have plans and they are the only girls I’m friends with up here, and because of the classes I can’t go home that night.
It’s not the day I hate. It’s just that I don’t have a social outlet to be around, so I can’t even do a friendship thing. I don’t want to be reminded that we didn’t work out and I don’t want to be reminded how far away I am from everyone. I’m going to try to be strong.
I don’t like being single. Why have none of you noticed that I’m upset when you talk about me being single? It’s not as fun as people say and I just want a healthy relationship with a guy I can fall in love with and a guy who will love me. I want this stupid fairy tale stuff as much as anyone.
Pointing out how many boyfriends I have had doesn’t make it better either. That is not a positive! That just points out how many guys have left me for other girls or that I wasn’t good enough for them. And no I don’t want to go out with guys I know I will not do well with. The obsessive guy, the guy I have no chemistry with, the perverted joker, yeah there’s a reason I’m not dating them, so stop telling me just to date one of them cause I know if you were in my position you wouldn’t either.
I’m so aggravated.
I know society and movies and media and all that stuff tells you that single girls are supposed to be unhappy but it’s NOT TRUE.
You should feel beautiful for yourself, not a guy. Please understand that while guys can be an important part in your life they are not everything, and life is full of so many other amazing things to feel happy about like friends, family, hobbies, careers/school. A guy should not turn into your whole life.
I’ve seen way too many girls jumping from guy to guy (even me) just to not be single, even if they are setting for guys that aren’t good for them. Don’t sell yourself short like that, you deserve what you really want, even if it takes longer to find than those around you.
Try dressing nice for yourself, even if you aren’t going to go anywhere. Give yourself that confidence boost you deserve, and whatever you do, never doubt your worth just because a guy didn’t appreciate it.
It’s hard to resist the temptation of loving someone for the sake of being with someone, so I think you are really brave to wait for the right one to come along.

and already I’ve lost most of it just because of people joking around with me.
Instead of feeling empowered for waiting to have sex for the right person I feel ashamed. Instead of appreciating not needing a guy to feel happy I feel lame because I’m single not taken. Instead of enjoying dressing up I feel silly. Instead of feeling driven for working hard to study, I feel nerdy. Instead of respecting that as an introvert I’m okay with not being a party person I feel boring.
Sensitive or not, having to listen to these jokes all the time from a group of guys and a couple from female friends, it really hurts. I wanna just be able to toughen up, but my confidence was already on the edge after all the depression.
I understand it’s annoying to see so may people complaining at once, but it’s not just about being single. Valentine’s Day is about getting that romance, love, and appreciation from your significant other and vice versa. The reason it’s more upsetting than other times of the year is because those who are single are watching people being appreciated and loved the whole day, they’re hearing loving words between others, and they are seeing how much each couple cares about each other. It’s not so much about not getting gifts, it’s more about how you don’t have someone to tell you how special you are, you don’t have that person to be be your support and rock.
You can say all you want that “well you have family and friends” but we all know it’s different than a significant other. Instead of worrying about those complaining, focus on what the holiday is about, appreciation of your relationship. Let them be upset. Just like you say “it’s just one day”, it’s the same for those being upset. Be tolerant of everyone’s feelings.
I know it’s hard to be single on this day, I myself have been many times. But once you find that person you’ll appreciate what you have and want to share it with the world. Be upset, be frustrated, go and get the stress out, but let those who are celebrating this day do it happily. There is someone out there, and while it is hard right now, the day eventually passes. Do someone for yourself on this day. Pamper yourself, practice a hobby, learn something new, and relax. The day will eventually be over, so try to spend it as comfortable as possible.
It will be hard to see those cute statuses, or see the photos of amazing gifts, but eventually those days will be yours as well, just take things one at a time. Take the love you see around you and get that inspiration for future lovers. For now just be patient.
I wish people would stop saying that I need a boyfriend to be happy. I am not uptight because I don’t want a one night stand, I’m not single because I’m afraid to fall in love, I don’t go actively looking for a guy because I’m afraid of rejection, and adding a boyfriend does not “complete” me. A boyfriend does not define what I’m worth, and it should never be the only thing making me happy. I may not be happy all the time, and eventually I’ll find that special person, but for now I am perfectly content being single.
