Epidural or No Epidural

(I really just want opinions on epidurals and what you think I should. Also how you feel about epidurals and how they push it in America)

So backstory I live in America. Where they kinda push you to have an epidural. I've seen a video of this girl who said she did want one and her nurse kept trying to push it. My family has laughed at me for saying I don't want one. And my mother says I'm gonna get one because she got one. I personally have realized I deal with pain not well but good enough and quiet enough. I don't want anyone pushing an epidural or anything on me when I think I can do it alone. I don't want to be a pain, but why should I have to get an epidural if I don't want one. And why does everyone feel the need to either tell me I'm gonna get it/should get it or laugh at me?
