I disagree. I prefer being "left on the shelf" if indeed you apply that term to yourself.
By saying that, you're applying hierarchal value to those that have been picked off the shelf even though all it validates is that everyone has a consumer product value if you're saying everyone's a product on the shelf in the first place.
People feeling left out on Valentine's is a bit like when people top themselves because it's Christmas. You must be a bit single minded to think these are the only days of the year that fun is designated to. And that you're missing out because it's being pointed out by everyone that you can't be enjoying yourself if you're not doing the must thing that everyone else is perceived to be doing?
