Being child free is such a blessing, words can't express how much fun it is to be child free. It's so expensive to have children so help others whenever you can in the fear of God

I'm 30 and my sister who just had a kid tries to convince me every day to have one 😂Says she never felt love as strong as she did until now. I think it's easier to love a kid when they are in rhe baby stage. My mom stopped liking me when I became an adolescent. She still cared for me, but I felt the change in treatment.

“Have it all” is a drive. Makes us get up and go do our stuff. But if we aren’t careful, it will indeed poison us. With impostor syndrome, self-esteem harm….. It all comes down to management; what was said: not at once. Build, plan, reach goals. Do not just gather heaps of building blocks that never get used. PS: You work to gain money professionally. You are not born to be a career slave.

Truth!!! You're telling the truth! Thank you for this! I think "having it all" and trying to get there or rather " keeping up with the Joneses" is a deep dark hole of madness that never ends. I just want to be content. And for the most part I am, in general its whenever I start worrying about the way other people see me that it becomes a problem. Some arent happy until they tell someone off or spread a little bit of hate. If I'm honest this vid was extremely refreshing. I'm not an introvert but as a 35yr old woman I feel like I understand the point you're trying to make. I try not to make enemies often, but I'm no angel; and I have some. Art is my thing, always been that way. Not super good at video games and dabble in The original Nintendo Wii; along with some digital gaming applications.

I’ve always needed to be more independent, in my opinion. I like following your thought process on this one. It’s always a boundary negotiation with the self, meeting people. Old friendships are ‘gold’, they’re less reactive, unlikely to tarnish. That doesn’t mean maintaining silver isn’t worth it, sometimes. It’s good to think on.

I personally have trouble believing I am a good person because it takes so much effort to force myself to do the bare minimum. I'm never really motivated to live the life I'm privileged to have. I just try to keep going. Sometimes I wish I could trade places with someone with more challenges than I have, just to give them a break. I couldn't handle their life, though. I barely have the energy for my own. I appreciate your video. It's good to watch others who are grateful for the life they have made for themselves.

Thank you for sharing. I really relate to the feeling of feeling guilty for struggling when my life is, on paper, an objectively good life. But recognizing that, and keeping going is a fantastic thing.

There is this quote in Buddhism that I was struck with recently, and it fits: "All things are ephemeral-fleeting and temporary. Even the most difficult moments eventually pass, just as the most joyful ones do. Understanding this impermanence helps us find balance, acceptance, and peace in the face of life's inevitable changes". The only constant is change. So on days when you feel low, remember; it will be different tomorrow. This goes for the best days too. Make the most of them - the way you deem them the best.

I gave my five children the gift of life. I want them to live it in a way that makes them happy. Even if that means they don’t want kids of their own. I told them that I still want to be a grandmother, even if they just bring home a lizard. Now I am the proud grandmother to every random lizard around my house. Like 18 of them are named Gary. I can’t lie the Gary’s are so cute and live outside so I don’t have to change any diapers. So sincerely from this mom to you, baby go live your damn life and don’t listen to anybody who tries to control your choices.

The phrase "life starts outside your comfort zone" is quite famous these days. It is easier to say it than to make it ours. We are shown, told and directed to NOT think. To NOT try. Because failure will ensue. Well, it is partly true. If any of us tries something mindlessly, it can be a minor embarrassment or a major life-threatening scenario. Whatever we want to do, there is a clear need to think it through, execute and then judge the outcome. To some, this is too much. Hence - why try if you can fail? Because 6P : "Proper planning prevents p*ss-poor performance". Any and all things that contain rewards (any kind) come with risks - nothing worthy is for free : )

Self-promotion or prioritising self-preservation is not selfishness. Just because the primary path the media propagates involves the human side of being social (overly?) .. doesn’t mean everyone needs to go with the crowd. Playing life on hard, solo, is fine. Do what makes you happy, don’t step onto others’ feet. Easy innit?

@@forresten yes! Living is not and should not feel like a sacrifice, or you’re heading down a bad path for all parties. If something doesn’t feel right for you, you have to accept that and be willing to own that. “I’m not doing this. Because I do not WILL it for myself.” It’s willfulness in the *least* selfish way, because any time we cave to others by sacrificing our own self, bitterness must follow. Thats the medicine to teach us to stop doing it.

Dealing with burnout from manufacturing jobs and the weight of unresolved trauma has been difficult. Trauma is a word I still hesitate to even use. I have been very avoidant in my behavior and thinking for a variety of reasons that I am trying to make sense of. It’s easy to fall into the trap of blaming yourself for everything, and society encourages that individualistic mindset, it avoids addressing the broader systemic issues. That intentionally cultivated narrow view isolates us and prevents any meaningful change from taking place. It's also a easy way out of acknowledging the bigger picture, that's why the self help industry stays profitable. I'm trying to figure out how much responsibility I bear for the place I find myself in, to better understand how to move forward, reclaim my agency and make amends with myself. Reading Erich Fromm’s Marx's Concept of Man has been key, and listening to The Sane Society audiobook. Fromm provides a critical and psychoanalytic perspective on how modern society alienates us from the world, others and ourselves. Vivek Chibber's Confronting Capitalism has been very clarifying and empowering. His analysis exposes deeply entrenched inequalities and offers a pathway to resistance that feels grounded in reality and thought provoking. His lectures critique the individualist ideology that permeates our society as well. I’ve also been diving into Marx’s Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844, particularly the sections on alienation. Marx’s breakdown of how we become alienated from our labor, from others, and ourselves under the development of capitalism has been really helpful in framing my own experiences. The way he articulates this alienation sheds light on the disconnection I’ve felt and gives me a clearer understanding of the systemic nature of my struggles. The first section of the manuscript is especially impactful, and I recommend it to anyone interested-it’s available for free online. My hope is that by learning more about these ideas I can empower myself to live a life that’s more aligned with my values and on my own terms, as much as that is possible.

The only time I don't feel emboldened in my decision not to have kids is when I spend time with my family. I am the only one of my cousins without a child, which was because I'm the youngest by far, but I'm reaching an age where they're starting to ask questions. Then I realized that in my family, I don't have a model for what a woman's life without kids even looks like. Even though I'm 28, it still feels like they see me as a kid until I have my own. And part of me does wish I lived near them so I could be more of a part of their kids lives, but I don't know if I would want to deal with their parents' shade. Anyway, it's always good to come back to the city with my bf (who agrees on no kids), and our other child-free-by-choice friends, who see me as the competent adult I am.

Hearing you speak about not having the qualities needed to be the parent you want to be is exactly why I do not want kids. Physical touch and constant noise would totally DRAIN me and I would not be able to control my temprament around my kids no matter how much I would love them. The ”selfish” argument is so stupid and so wrong.
