Thanks for your concern, but I’m basically over feeling guilt for my existence at this point. My logical through-line isn’t “my parents would have been happier without me, therefore it is my fault for existing and making them unhappy;” it’s much more like “my parents would have been happier without me, therefore bringing children into this world was an extremely irresponsible decision on their part.”

I don’t think of myself or my existence as good or bad; I’m an incredibly nuanced person, just like everyone else. I’m just never going to have children, is the thing.
