2 days later still can’t escape the Valentine’s Day posts

As if the day itself wasn’t awful enough, having to see everyone around you get roses and chocolates. My social media was full of elaborate gifts that everyone had gotten from their SO or made their SO. (Especially bad on tik tok because the popular page) hitting hide posts does nothing. I’m still seeing valentines posts 2 fucking days later.

Some girl posted some things she had gotten herself and I felt sympathy, read more and she said “first valentines I’m single since I was 13” Instant recoil. Poor thing. I guess we should feel sorry for her since she spent one Valentine’s Day alone and I’ve spent 20+alone. People outside of this sub really are tone deaf and don’t know what it’s actually like to be “lonely”. This holiday is always a fucking trigger to my issues and self esteem and I’m tired of not being able to opt out. I genuinely feel like less of a woman and less of human being for never getting anything
