For me, I think my anxiety around kids stems back to never having had many friends, most of the kids I knew bullied me and didn't want anything to do with me, with only a few exceptions |
I am not absolutely certain I will cope with them 24/7. I have that strong inner desire to have kids but I am taking a step back to see if I CAN do it and be happy. I know I will be a very good parent and always take care of them but I wonder which lifestyle can make me happier.
I have a partner who loves me and we can have a happy life together- live comfortably, travel, ect. But for me personally it seems empty without a family. For him he's perfectly content with me being his family.
It makes sense why you wouldn't want to be around them. Kids can be incredibly cruel- to each other and adults. I'm sorry you got bullied.
