So, this sub is great for you. You are not weird! There are lots of people like you.
These other people are speaking from their experience and who the hell are they to criticize you and your choices. I think it's foreign to them that you might not want children because they wanted them and cant relate. Then I think about how for the majority of people their biggest accomplishment in life is having a child. They put such importance on it and think you should too. I start to think that sometimes your choice to not have children threatens their very meaning of life.
I wasn't sure for most of my 20's now that I'm in my 30s I am 90% sure I do not want children. It does not take you to be or make you amazing to have a freaking baby. There are plenty of worthless people out there blindly humping and procreating.
Do you know why you do not want babies? For me it is the following top three reasons:
They cost a Ton of money and I cant afford it.
They cost a ton of time and I cannot afford it.
They likely have a horrible future ahead of them cleaning up the messes of our parents and us.
Please feel free to Add to my list cause there are just so many reasons not to just go out and bring another being into this already overpopulated world.

I knew in elementary school. People kept asking me if I wanted to get married and have kids when I grew up. I said no to both. I'm 25 now and still feel the same. Once I start my new job and get my own insurance I'm going to try and get Essure or something so I don't have to deal with birth control anymore. Hopefully I can find a non-bigoted doctor to do it for me. :\

"My entire adult life" lol. You're still a kid, life changes. Not for everyone but you're probably ~1/3rd of the way through this, I wouldn't start speaking absolutely about the next 50 years yet.

I don't know what bingoing someone means. This is definitely the wrong sub but a statement like "all my adult life" when you've barely gotten pubes is so stupid I couldn't not comment.
