Is it normal that i want to disappear every valentines day?

Every valentines day I feel like I want to just hide and disappear from the world for one day and cut off all ways off communication with everyone else. I often feel suicidal also, but I have more reason not to do that.

    Why valentines day is no different from any other day. If anything its evil making you believe that there is one day that is full of love when every day spent with another is special.

    Bollocks to valentines day.

    You want to do this because you are alone? Wouldn't it be better to find someone to spend the day with, instead? You could make it a once a year date, if you aren't looking for a full time relationship.

      I'm not exactly sure why I feel this way, It's more like I've noticed that I feel this way every year. It could be possibly because I'm lonely, at least on a subconscious level because I'm pretty used to being alone ever since I was a kid. I also have low self esteem so finding someone to spend it with (asuming you mean like a date) never crossed my mind.

        It is not necessary that you remain alone, low self esteem or not.
        There are certainly women out there who find you attractive, at least on the surface, as you do not give them an opportunity to know you.
        Don't you think there are as many gals out there with low self esteem as guys, probably more, because society places so much attention on physical perfection in women?
        Come on, lighten up on yourself.
        If you want a gf, there are plenty of gals out there who would be thrilled to make your acquaintance. They may not have anime eyes, or huge boobs, but they are real, live, warm, loving people just as lonely and unhappy at being alone, as you are.
