r/AntinatalismSupport

I used to go to a heavily religious university, so most of my followers/following on social media are individuals I met there. And I swear to GOD every other week, someone's posted up about "IM PREGNANT" or "CELEBRATING XYZ'S BABY SHOWER" or "WE'RE PREGNANT" (which I hate the most because no, Josh, YOU are not pregnant. Your sorry wife is.) and I'm so fucking sick of it. I block and block and block but there's ALWAYS someone's stupid baby bump on my fucking screen and I hate it.

And then I get fucking SHAMED for not wanting a kid. Holy SHIT just rip out my reproductive organs. God fucking damn it I hate it I hate it I hate it.

My entire family says they agree with the antinatalist ideals, like we have conversations earnestly. And yet when an extended family member or friend gets pregnant, they say to just act happy and say you're happy they're happy. I just cannot do this at all. I even just say "oh cool!" or "wow! that's new, life's changing huh?" like just basic stuff

Especially when I know their family is financially struggling. Or if they have chronic illnesses or conditions they'll spread.

Or even at work, a customer was a 20 something kid and he said "im gonna be a dad!" my stomach dropped. He was my age and his dad was pumping his gas for him. and he was ESTATIC? I wanted to mourn for him but i just said "woah! Busy night!" but im starting to not know what else to say. I hate being rude outright but i also dont want to lie about being happy for them. ​

edit: am I getting down voted for some mysterious reason or are there pre-natalist hate-viewing
