Is it selfish , that I don’t want kids ?

I (26F) used to think I wanted kids because I thought it was something I was supposed to experience. I’ve had hands-on experience with children, having worked in daycares and after-school programs for about four years. Through that, I realized I have a genuine love for kids—babies especially—but only when they’re not mine.

The more I reflect, the more I feel like there’s still so much in life I haven’t experienced yet. And to be honest, with the way things are in America right now, I don’t feel comfortable bringing a child into this world.

I sometimes wonder if this mindset is wrong or selfish, especially when so many people around me still expect that I’ll want kids someday. Has anyone else gone through this shift in perspective? How did you come to terms with it?
