When my friend tried to boast today…

…about her two children (who I’ve never met) I decided to remind her that I am nulliparous because this planet has too many @sshats as it is. Hoping that will be the last time I ever speak with her!!

flex? Part of a new lingo? I like it.
I'm sorry she flexed about her precious kids when u have none.

My S.O. died (we weren't married or lovers though) last month and I was here for 19 years and he had no kids, neither did I and neither did his brother, the only one in his family who has still been speaking to me. (and that ended last night too, he made me feel invisible and worthless and no more talking with him... he never trusted me anyway...)

NEITHER BROTHER had kids and I don't either

What does that say about who we are/were?

Hate to know. But I think I do. The nightmares never stop now, ditto for the ghosting and betrayals in life about AM I REALLY HERE? Am I viable? Is there any life for me now?

Doesn't seem so. In fact there wasn't when I was younger either. No therapists to discuss this with, cant afford them and their marginal ways...

I came back here and this minefield because real life was more dangerous.

@PleasurePunch flex seems to be the term for bragging in a way. Maybe less ostentatious but definitely intended to give the impression that I am not on her level.
I’m so sorry that you have had such sadness and grief in the recent past. And I hope that you can find comfort in someone else someday if you want that.
I’m not sure what it says about me that I’m childless and currently severely single. I have my reasons for not having children but I definitely wanted to have them. I always envisioned myself as a parent from as early as I can recall. Fortunately my sister has 3 kiddos, my parents have the opportunity to enjoy being grandparents and I enjoy being able to be the fun aunt. I’m just not sure why people feel the need to rub it in that they have children and I don’t. I know I may be hypersensitive but yesterday was a definite dig at me because I was working out on a sunny day and she was (acting like she was happy to be) heading home from her business which I will never go back to again.
This place can be helpful and harmful. I know that well.

@PleasurePunch I like to try and make my best effort to counter the random negativity that seems to come from anonymity on the platform and the net in general. I find that I can make a difference even if it is a small one. I believe it is important to keep humanity and empathy alive and well even through cyberspace. I’m very touched and glad that you found it helpful and I really appreciate you letting me know. If you ever need someone to listen and vent to I’m happy to help. I hope you are having a pleasant time whatever time it is where you are now. ☺️😊

I wish in our current era fewer people felt the urge to procreate (particularly those who do so to [i]compete[/i] with other tribes, like that Quiverfull bunch that wants their sect to essentially rule over everyone else), I think the planet is truly overpopulated by about 6 billion people at the same time the planet is experiencing desertification on multiple continents (decreasing any available land for agriculture to [i]feed[/i] all of the @sshats)

I would rather people be more interested in taking care of the planet and restoring balance in humanity's footprint on it, than to seek to birth their own children no matter the consequences for humanity as a whole
