I don’t want children. To marry. Or live with a man

I’m 23, and as I get older and older my feelings towards NOT having children get stronger and stronger. Every one tells me “ohhhh you’ll change your mind!” But I wont. I never wanted kids. And that feeling gets stronger every day. I just don’t want to be responsible for another life. I want to do what I want to do. I also have T1D so there would be a 50% chance my child could develop that. I don’t want to be responsible for my own illness anddddd a child’s. If I could get sterilised now I would. Sometimes I get anxious that SOMEHOW I’ll be forced to have one. I don’t “hate” kids, I’m just not interested in them. There’s already 10000s of children in need, so why would I have one.

I also never want to be trapped with one man, MAYBE that feeling will change. But I like my own time and having my own space. The idea of living with a man and sharing my space with one just does not appeal to me. Not 1000% being able to do what I want to do, when I want to do it would annoy the shit out of me. Having to put myself aside for his needs? I don’t think so.

And I don’t think I’m selfish for this. What do you guys think?
