It is said that Single Awareness Day[8] is born because of Social Isolation. In 2001, a high school student named Dustin Barns decided to form a group with his friends so that instead of wallowing in the sorrows of being singles, they could use a day to celebrate singleness.[9]
For this, thought of doing something like this so that people get to know about this day. These people chose February 15 as a protest against Valentine’s Day and started selling candies and chocolates at a huge discount. The aim was to inform as many people as possible about this day.
Dustin passes this tradition from high school to Mississippi State University where it got very popular. Because of this, 15 February was copyrighted in 2015 as a single awareness day,[10] and since then this day became popular all over the world.
