r/AntinatalismSupport

I think it would be really beneficial for me to have at least 2-3 people who I can share my beliefs with openly and honestly, in hopes to be met with understanding. To come across other antinatalists organically feels almost impossible… any time I’ve gently tried to let any of my AN beliefs slip out I’m never understood and at worst It’s cost some friendships. I also don’t want to insult my dear friends who have kids or want them, even though I don’t agree with it, that’s their choice, I can’t control it. I don’t want to make them feel bad about it.

I live on the east coast of the US to give you an idea of time zone compatibilities. preferably, you would be at least 25 years of age or older, gender is not impotant. I am single, child free, and may be open to dating in the distant future. For the time being I’m only looking for platonic connections. Also I will be 33 at the end of this month.

Hope we can find a compatible, platonic friend in one another 💜

Every time someone with kids does this it really just makes me want to never speak to them again.

"Ugh I have no time to myself between work and my kids."

"I'm so tired because I have to take care of my kids."

"You're so lucky, you have so much freedom since you don't have kids."

Natalists need to stop blaming their children for their own choices. The child wasn't bestowed upon you at random, it was very deliberate choices that led you to having this life.

And why the hell can't I? The world is the source of all of my problems. The world created me beyond my control and consent. The world created other people who cause problems for me. The world gave me physical and mental problems that I have to live with probably until I die. The world is the source of (my) suffering. Point blank. I can only do so much to "be positive" or "change my perception" when the world keeps sh*tting on me from every angle. My problems (that I didn't ask for) prevent me from "progressing in life", and even with "progress" I'll just die at the end of all of my efforts. I used to have my own reasons for appreciating life and existence, BUT THE WORLD TOOK THEM FROM ME (long story). It doesn't matter how well life is going for you: you can (and inevitably WILL) lose everything eventually. For various reasons, I WAS glad to have existed, but now those reasons are gone, and it's almost like I never even had them to begin with. And that can happen to anyone at any moment. Why bring life into this world when they'll just lose everything they care about, including themselves? This is f*cked.
