Is it selfish to feel I never want children?

Yea, it hurts your family and country, it might be less selfish if you have genetic problems.

Yes, but it's ok to be selfish, and people need to stop demonizing it.

I don't want kids either, I don't want them because I want a lifestyle that kids don't really fit into without lots of hassles. Is it selfish? Yup. Am I entitled to my own choices regardless of that? Also yup.

Letting other people tell you that your own happiness matters less than their approval of you, is a trap. Never let yourself fall into it.

I love kids and would love to have them. However, it is your decision to make and one everyone should respect.

You never want kids, that's fine. Everyone is different. As I say, not everyone likes their coffee the same way.

No not at all. I get told the same thing but its my life lol

Not at all. No reason to have children if you don't want them. There are plenty of people who do, and the planet can only suppored a limited number of people. I never had kids and I've never regretted it

Nope, unless you married your partner in never had this discussion with them, then it becomes wrong to not inform them.

Ask yourself this question. Do you even have the option to pro create so to cope with it you tell yourself you don't want kids?

[Asker]

I have the option, yes.

[Chthou95]

It seems like the older generation wanted to have kids but the newer generation don't. Interesting
