29F and first time poster in this group.

I’ve never really actively wanted kids, just assumed I eventually would get to that point. After I ended my long term relationship 3.5 years ago, I allowed myself to truly explore the idea of being childfree and I haven’t looked back.

My perspective is that despite there being good, happy, loving, exciting moments between humans and during life (enjoying a sunset, bonding with an animal, etc), life is objectively difficult, emotionally draining, exhausting, and people kind of (mostly) fucking suck.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe in good people and strive to be one as much as possible, but 99% of the time when interacting with people whether it be my neighborhood, driving, the mall, literally anywhere, I think to myself “what the fuck is wrong with people?”

The constant entitlement, lack of self awareness, rudeness, non-empathy is ASTOUNDING. I live in Florida, so maybe it’s especially bad here haha, but holy fuck! People are so fucking weird!

Aside from general social niceties, I am astounded by others’ behaviors like 85839393x per week, every week.

Point being… why the fuck would I want to force someone else into this? Humanity is not objectively good in any way, shape, or form. I’m reading A Brief History of Humankind and if I wasn’t already negative about humanity, I am now, lol.

That being said, there are things I enjoy about life, but I truly cannot fathom people just bringing kids here left and right without a fucking thought or shred of introspection.
