Reasons for choosing not to have children
The decision to not have children can be based on a variety of personal reasons. Some individuals may feel that not having children is a fundamental part of their identity, similar to being queer or having a certain career path. Others may prioritize their careers or desire a creative lifestyle that would be hindered by parenthood. Some individuals may value solitude and personal time, needing space for their mental and emotional well-being. Painful reasons can include challenging relationships with their own parents, fearing that bringing a child into their own relationship might strain it, or concerns about the societal and environmental issues they would be passing on to future generations.
