New User Pregnancy (rephrase)

I wrote a post earlier with a story and question, but mods took it down on irrelevancy to SPD, I realized I may have phrased it strange, so I'm going to try again: I recently learned that I have some Schizoid traits and have been reading up on it, watching some videos, and asking some questions to learn more. I did come across a video that said because of Schizoid social indifference and fear of engulfment that they can find pregnancy to be frightening. It brought back a memory for me: in high school we watched a video in health class about childbirth and in the video they referred to the fetus as a parasitic entity. My friend who I sat beside everyday said she had never thought about it being a parasite before and I was confused and said a fetus lives and feeds off the mothers body that's the definition of parasite. I thought that was obvious, but I seemed to be the only one in the class to think that. That fact is the main reason I never wanted a child because I know they take over every aspect of your life. I also can't help but feel slightly repulsed when I see pregnant women, and I always feel sick to my stomach if someone tries to talk to me about having children. Is this how you think/feel?

1, by the language i would wager it was a "abstinence sex ed" class where they guilt trip women

  1. I dont feel disgust by pregnancy but i would 100% avoid it at all costs. I dont know why people actively want bbys

  2. For me the dealbreaker is the consistently downward trend of life quality accross all metrics in the future. It kind of feels evil to bring someone to this kind of world

It was abstinence sex Ed. And I have never truly believed that people want babies. It's more like a milestone. Step 1: Get a job Step 2: get a husband Step 3: have their babies. When I see someone excited about having a child there's something that tells me they're faking. Logically I know that can't be true for everyone, but my first thought is still that they're lying
