I often tell people that I hate children.

Honestly, I don't really hate children. I tend to feel a little awkward around them, but I don't hate them.

I just tell people I hate children in the hopes that they'll take it as a sign to /stop/ telling me I'll change my mind on not wanting children.

Not every man is meant to be a father, and that's okay. Leave me alone about it, for christ's sake.
If people just accepted my choice, I wouldn't have to lie to them in order to shut them up.
I dont know why people say that. I know a bunch of guys, a few friends of my ex boyfriend who are happy to be single without children. They're older than you I think...50's. Maybe they heard the same thing when they were younger.

People can be very nosy to @Blood of Kingu, but they probably dont really mean any harm.

My everyday note to self: To ignore social anxiety, if anyone happens to gossip and talk shit about you in the aftermath, you just don’t give a shit and just know that not everyone grows up out from their immaturity and pettiness. I deserve to have a good day. I’m not bothered. 😤

being a father is the best thing that happened to me. and it helps to have kids to help me now that i'm older. but being a father is MY choice and not everyone wants that. in my opinion you should stay with the belief that you want no children. do what makes YOU happy. maybe someday with the right woman you'll change you mind and maybe you'll prefer no children all your life. it is your decision so if people harp on you about it tell them to screw off unless they want to pay for 18 years of raising a child plus college up front lol...mike...*hug

I appreciate your intention, but you'll find me a very adamant man. I won't change my mind. ;) No woman who would be able to change that.
Infact, I'd argue that the right woman for me would share my vision of our future together. She's going to be my everything, a child would compromise my heart and force me to share it, so to speak.

And I just don't want to make that sacrifice. People often think I don't want children because of freedom, or vanity or anything.
Maybe they're right, but the biggest reason is that I simply only want to share my heart with /one/ person. If anybody else gets involved, I feel too overwhelmed and uncomfortable.

that is actually a healthy attitude. and it will always be your choice. all I meant was stick to your choice but if you changed your mind later it would be ok. some people don't want to be a parent and I think it's a great choice if that's what they want.....mike *hug*shake

I wanted to add to the topic... I think people should question other's reasons to WANT children, not the opposite. You don't have to justify your lack of desire of children whatsoever. Not having children is not a question of freedom. I understand the struggle of dealing with people's comments though, but that's what I tell people (and I'm a woman in the "right" age to procreate). It's no one's f*cking business.
