I get this feeling from people, please tell me if I am wrong(rest in details)?

1 Answer

Answer :

You’re wrong. @SQUEEKY2: “If you don’t want to have children people automatically think you dislike children.” I believe you when you say that you have experienced some pushback about not having kids. However, this seems so far-fetched in my universe to almost seem fictional. If you are really getting harassed for this (seems to be a long struggle for you), move to Massachusetts. It’s literally not a thing here – as in not a single person will ever say anything to you about not having kids. @SQUEEKY2: “If you are a firearm enthusiast, people think you are against any kind of gun control laws.” I make all kinds of assumptions about “firearm enthusiasts” – but none of them have much to do with being against gun control laws.
