Thank you for trying to encourage me though. In this context you thought I might have a confidence issue, little regard for myself, and it seems like you were trying to look after my self-esteem if I'm assuming correctly. I appreciate it, this is the kind of approach people should take as opposed to resorting to peer pressure, emotional coertion. You cared for the real reason I'm not having kids for the moment, you cared to find the problem even if only to try to solve it.

There is no problem, I know I'm not inherently harmful to kids and I know that I probably should reconsider parenthood at some point. I'm just being careful. 🙂
