Why do young people not want to celebrate Valentine's Day

Jan 28,2025

1. Economic pressure: Valentine's Day is often accompanied by expensive expenses such as buying gifts, booking restaurants, arranging date activities, etc. For many young people, these expenses may be a significant financial burden, leading them to choose Valentine's Day over others.

2. Emotional state and values: Some young people may be single and lack interest or resonance with Valentine's Day, a holiday that emphasizes romantic relationships. At the same time, some people believe that true love should not be reflected solely through holidays, but should focus more on daily emotional communication and companionship rather than formal celebrations.

3. The negative impact of social media: Social media is filled with various displays and expectations of Valentine's Day, which may make some young people feel stressed or anxious, worried that their Valentine's Day will not be as exciting as others, or worried that their emotional state will be judged by the outside world, so they choose to avoid participating in or following this holiday.
