Totally agree. Glad I'm not happy and proud with my life, my relationship and the choices I've made.

    Lol you don't need to have kids to be happy/successful and proud of your life.

    You do if you have nothing to feel happy or successful about.

    That was my point. People with nothing to be happy about often use their children as substitutes.

    No, I'm shitting on parents who had kids because they thought the kids would fix their problems.

    Are you commenting on yourself? Those quotes back what they said...

    You're correct, they didn't explicitly spell it out for you. Because that's not how sarcasm works. You comprehended it incorrectly.

    Why are you taking offense to someone saying your lifestyle sounds terrible to them? They're not saying you must be unhappy, just that they don't want to live that way.

    I don't want kids, and I'm sure those with kids that they wanted are very happy, and I'm glad there are people for whom that is a happy life because it wouldn't be to me.

    Gotta edit my comment to say I was totally being autistic and completely missed your joke on the first pass, my bad!

    I'm not taking offense. It sounded to me like the guy in this image was taking offense. I was asking the same questions, you're asking me now. "Why would you take offense to someone saying they're happy?" Clearly I'm the only one interpeting it that way

    I don't know if the original person in the picture meant it that way, but I do know that this meme is frequently used to start an antinatalist circle jerk, so I support you coming out swinging.

    It’s a question of figuring out who and what you are. What defines you and gives you purpose as an individual vs tryimg to stuff all of that into a role that leans heavily on another human being doing that for you.
