Introversion/Extroversion
TLDR: My introversion has me leaning childfree. Does introversion or extroversion play a part in whether you're leaning towards or away from having children?
In a recent post I commented on, I mentioned that my introversion is part of why I'm leaning childfree. The thought of planning kids' bday parties, attending other kids' bday parties, integrating with groups of moms, having to organize and potentially join for play dates ... NONE of it sounds appealing to me, and I'm worried my kid would be isolated and lonely because of how I naturally live my life. Not to mention that when I'm anxious, my world gets even smaller, so it would be even harder than it is now (sans kids) to be social, with the added anxieties of parenthood (not to mention - what if my kid does not play well and I'm on the alert for bad behavior in all these social situations? I already feel that way with my dog, and it causes me a lot of stress).
On that post I mentioned, someone replied and said that their extroversion was the reason they were leaning childfree - because they love their freedom to engage in many social activities and they don't want to sacrifice that.
Anyone else taking their introversion/extroversion into account?
