To some, Valentine’s Day is a magical day full of flowers, romance and opportunities to make single people feel terrible online.
Being that there’s currently an “epidemic of loneliness” so severe in the U.S. that the surgeon general felt compelled to release a freakin’ advisory on it last year, we’re figuring many people are feeling personally victimized by the onslaught of clichéd social media posts featuring candlelight dinners, proposals and happy couples holding hands on the beach. (We’re looking at you, Barack Obama!)
But here at HuffPost, we say Valentine’s Day this year is just another Wednesday — and it’s OK if you don’t have a special someone to fully celebrate the ultimate hump day.
So, in honor of Cupid’s stupid day landing on a Wednesday, we think you should view it the way that Wednesday Addams would — cynically, and wanting to burn the whole holiday down.
To help you get into this mindset, we’ve gathered plenty of anti-Valentine’s Day posts from X (formerly Twitter) that will further solidify the icy layer around your frosty heart.
Enjoy! 🖤🖤🖤
I SAID YES!!! 😍😍😍😍😍💍💍💍💍 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ someone asked if I was alone for valentine’s day!!!

As your goth valentine I will put my beating heart under the floorboard of your enemy’s favorite room.

Today is Tuesday. Valentine’s Day is Wednesday. Tomorrow. The stores are COVERED in flowers, candy, candles, stuffed animals, etc. If that man shows up without a gift or trinket, he’s hates you and wants you to die. The cheapest bouquet I saw was $4.99. HE WANTS YOU TO PERISH.

My parents have been married 60 years. My mom told me she has been giving my dad the same Valentine’s Day card for TWENTY years. And the beauty is he has no idea. He reads it in its entirety every year. And then she puts it back in a drawer for next year. Freaking genius.

When you feel unloved on Valentine's Day just remember, on other days nobody loves you, too.

just had a bad flashback to Valentine’s Day at my high school. you could buy roses to send to people & they’d be delivered during class, so we all got to watch the popular girls get eight while we just sat there!
