Valentine's Day is a controversial holiday because not everyone agrees that it is necessary.
However, romantically inclined people, especially those who are currently experiencing loneliness, often truly suffer when they see happy couples.
We figure out how to stop being jealous and feel happy, despite the fact that there is no one to share the romance with.
How to Survive Valentine's Day
Psychologists advise singles to remember that this day honors love in all its manifestations for a reason. That is why today you can celebrate it with everyone for whom you feel love not in the romantic sense of the word.
Visit your parents, celebrate the evening with friends or work colleagues - in a word, with those you like.
Don't forget that the best way to distract yourself from dwelling on the romantic component is to please yourself. For example, if no one gives you a bouquet of flowers, but you really want one, buy one for yourself.
Moreover, no one knows better than you what flowers you like.
Give your love to those who need it even more. For example, on this day you can visit an orphanage or a nursing home, where everyone will be glad to receive attention from you.
