I think it is. The only positives about it are sports, Black History Month and award shows. February is the month where winter has not only entrenched itself completely but also worn out its welcome. Valentine's Day makes single people feel bluer than they already do and is the big cultural focus for the first half of the month. February is so bad that despite being the shortest month of the year it can often feel like the longest. The Romans had a real sick sense of humor by giving leap day to fucking February. Why couldn't we get April 31, or September 31 instead? January sucks too but at least there's a new year high along with recaps of the best and worst of the year and has MLK Day.

I also have a personal reason for hating February that combined with Valentines Day makes the Ides of February the worst part of the year. But despite everything I just posted I hope my February this year is better than my January which was one part severe depression one part nothing. There's even hope that one day February won't be so bad for me as my nephew's birthday is in the month so maybe the joy that will bring him as he gets older will lighten the mood of his grumpy uncle.

/end rant

Edit-And if you think February isn't the worst month I'm curious what you think is and your reasoning for it.

Shortest month of the year = shortest period between payslips. Also been some GOATed game releases in recent years.

March used to be my least favorite in my school days because it was the month where I just got worn out of school and the weather was chaotic and muddy. These days I like winter being in retreat, March Madness and St.Patrick's Day which should be a bigger holiday than it is.

If you live in Brazil I imagine a lot of what I hate about this month wouldn't affect Brazilians at all.

I'm still not thrilled that Mardi Gras is on my least favorite day of the year for 2024. Nor do I care for Easter in March but that's another story.

At least at my job march and April are among the few months I dont get a holiday off. So those are the worst in my opinion.

If not for that though and my birthday being in that month then Feb would be alongside them.

Do you only get legal holidays off? If that's the case shouldn't August be right up there too?

March for sure. Although this year, March is the extra paycheck month, so theres that.

31 days, shitty weather, no football, no federal holidays, and if you arent into college basketball, theres nothing but the meaningless regular seasons of Hockey and the NBA on TV.

And youre still three months away from June.

I like the winter months so February is in the top half of months for me.

The worst month is easily July.

It would but I prefer the summer over winter in my state(MI). So if nothing else it has good weather then going for it.

For sure nowadays. I work in public accounting, so February is when you realize you still have over half of busy season left to go and you don't have that January energy that makes you feel like it's just one week at a time. Like that feeling of "Holy, I just got through 1 month... I gotta do this 3 more times!!!"

I'm also single so v-day means nothing. :(

As my birthday is in February I think I have to like the month.

Also a more local reason, but here in Tucson schools are closed for the Rodeo at the last Thursday and Friday of the month. And working for a school district I absolutely love the 4 day weekend of Rodeo break

i like february. valentine's is pretty easy going for me. at most my wife wants to go somewhere we like to eat. we have a spot that we both came to love when we started dating. and it's fun to go there. who doesn't like eating at a nice spot? come home, watch a movie, fuck, it's a good night. she's not really into the typical valentine's gift that get advertised, so i don't have to worry about getting those.

as far as loneliness goes, isn't christmas/new years worse for that? and i love the atmosphere of christmas, but the christmas bill is way worse than the valentine's bill.

july is the worst. by far the worst holiday. i have to deal with people blowing shit up for a month. well before the 4th and well after it. at 2 am, getting startled awake by explosions. if you're out in the country i get it, less people around. but i'm in the suburbs. fuck fireworks. and july is the hottest month in my area. there are hotter parts of the world, but being in 100-105/110+ heat wave for a month, with wildfire potential fucking sucks.

fuck july.

October is the best month of the year! The leaves on the trees change color, content creators are all in on the spooky season, baseball is in playoffs and football is underway. If anything the only problem October has is that it's too damn busy.

November has Thanksgiving and Veterans Day, plus Christmas build up.

I used to dislike August because of how I'm sick of summer by that point but these days I like it because my brother brings his family up to camp for a couple weeks and I see him quite a bit.

I think it is the worst. I don't care about the Super Bowl, Black History, or Valentines Day. March is not much better but at least spring is right around the corner and days are starting to get longer
