The Loneliest Day of the Year for Singles Is Halloween?

For single people, the holidays can be rough . . . some holidays more than others. In fact, there’s one day that makes single people feel the most lonely. You might be able to guess it: Yup, Halloween.

According to a new survey from Dating.com, 59% of single people say Halloween is one of the hardest days of the year. And 57% say it’s actually worse than Valentine’s Day.

Nearly 80% admit to feeling lonely on October 31st, and more than half say they’ve “cried after opening the door to trick-or-treaters.”

There are a couple of possible explanations: 1. Halloween is built around GROUPS. There’s trick-or-treating kids, parties, couples costumes and families hanging out together.

And 2. Even for people who are low-key, a lot of us celebrate Halloween by watching scary movies or making festive food and treats and both of those can be less fun by yourself.

Either way, it can be a struggle .77% of singles admit they’ve pretended to have plans on Halloween, and 73% say that social media makes it worse, seeing all the fun people are having together.
