Verywell / Madelyn Goodnight
There are many reasons why you may find yourself alone on Valentine’s day.
Maybe you’ve chosen to besingleor are not interested in a relationship.
It’s also possible that you’re single for reasons outside of your control.
February 14th is just one day of the year.
There is no reason why you’re able to’t treat it as though it’s just another day.
Make time for yourself and show yourself some much-deserved love and kindness.
But have you ever wondered if they might have sent them to themselves?
This gift will be special because you received it from someone who knows you bestyou!
Try watching a new show or a different genre as Valentine’s Day approaches instead.
This will give you time to shift your attention to yourself and relish your alone time.
Being in the company of others in the same situation will help to ease your loneliness.
Be sure to keep the night upbeat.
They may welcome the chance to catch up and connect.
Brighten Someone Else’s Day
Do you know someone who has recently lost a significant other?
A small gift on Valentine’s Day would mean a lot and would make you feel good as well.
Play Cupid
Most people have never received a gift from a secret admirer.
Consider anonymously sending a gift to someone in the same position as you.
This doesn’t need to be someone you have a romantic interest insimply someone you want to see smile.
Include a note saying that you wanted to ‘pay it forward this Valentine’s Day.’
