Everybody assumes that everyone else has had a partner/significant other at some point in their life and sometimes that's the problem tbh.
There are ppl who have never been shown any kind of romantic love or adoration, ever. Those who have no idea what that feels like.

There are those who have never been the subject of someone's affections before, or have never been made to feel desired or wanted, and http://V.day can sometimes serve as a reminder of that horrible feeling.
So yes it is annoying when people say stuff like 'just treat/love on yourself today!". Who says we don't?
Why does someone wanting romantic love mean they lack self-love? Not everyone has been in the privileged position to be liked or loved lol. Leave people be.

It gets even more nuanced when you add desirability politics into it.
Some ppl aren't single by choice, and often it can have a lot to do with their physical appearance. So seeing aesthetically privileged ppl telling others to 'not think about V day' is sooo patronising. Whew!

Is it bitter? Probably! Either way, it's a valid feeling.
