People Are Sharing The Brutally Honest Reasons They're Single On Valentine's Day

I was single until I turned 23 so, yeah, you could say I have some experience with being single on Valentine's Day. For me, personally, it never really felt like THAT big of a deal. Like, were the tacky decorations at CVS and the cheesy, vom-worthy Instagram posts supposed to somehow make me feel more single than I was every other day of the year? If so, it wasn't working. That being said, Valentine's Day does force single people to spend a bit more time thinking about their singleness than they normally would. This week, the hashtag #whyimsingle on Valentine's Day is asking them to provide the world with all of the hilarious reasons why.

Nearly two thousand people — a whopping 1,989 at press time — have taken to Twitter to post all of the many reasons why they're single. If nothing else, it's an excellent testament to the self-awareness of the people on the internet.

The hashtag started trending on Twitter after Jimmy Fallon posted a call to action on his own account, writing:

It's Hashtags time! Tweet out a funny or embarrassing reason why you're single and tag it with #WhyImSingle. Could be on the show!

Maybe it was for fame, maybe it was just because Valentine's Day is seriously around the corner and people are feeling extra vulnerable and hyper-aware of their romantic flaws. But whatever the reason, BOY, OH, BOY did people get ready to share. Listen up — a lot of these reasons are seriously relatable.
