I feel so boring. I have 20 hours PTO that I need to use before the end of the year. Everyone pretty much has the week of Xmas and New Years off, so I'm probably have to take like 2 days off after next week before Xmas.

Time flies! I have no LIs and my friends are broke or have kids so I just wasn't thinking ahead. I'm also kind of worried due to the election results so my mind wasn't really thinking of anything fun 🥲 What should I do? Help please.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for friends in the DMV. I’m looking for people who are open to messaging back and forth, either in a voice note style or even making phone calls on the holidays, as it can be very lonely for people during that time. I’m also curious to know what the individual success rate has been for the specific section of Reddit. As, it seems interesting. And I am not trying to start any problems, just good to know.

Hey! I am 33F, happily married with no kids and there will never be kids. I live in Central Oregon and would love to make some new friends close by.

About me? Laid back woman with a full time job. Always down to sit around and watch TV while working on my yarn crafts. Boardgames are awesome and I wish I played them more lol. Really into Harry Potter but JK can suck it. Down to try new things when possible.

Feel free to directly message me!

Hi everyone!

Curious if anyone else is in the bay area and looking for an additional childfree friend. I've been childfree since like forever and now I'm starting to see people have kids and have realized that it might be smart to invest in some friends who have the same mindset to avoid having to babysit too many friends' kids in the future 😅😁.

I've been in the area for around three years, moving between SF Reno and Oakland (right now downtown Oakland) and am looking to expand my local friend group. Prior to living in California I spent ten years living abroad in a European country. I have a handful of local friends but am greedy and want more/have more to give. 😄

I'm big into nature, things like visiting all the regional parks, beaches, and going for runs and hikes. I also enjoy going to shows, concerts, theater and the movies. Total newbie at golf, pickleball and such but enjoy getting better at that too as long as it's not a pricey club. Board games or card games are fun as well or just chatting in general. I can share gamer handles if you're into games but big warning that I don't play too much and my brother calls me a filthy casual lol. No longer really into food meetups just cause I have new food allergies that makes it complicated but just about any other activity I'm hella down for.

I have a car and live near bart so I'm chill with traveling around the bay. I'm basically doing something most weeks so if you're looking for ideas I can always invite you!

I have a regular day job schedule so it's usually evenings or weekends that I'm free if not busy with prior commitments. I would describe myself as a social introvert if that makes sense, I get a lot of enjoyment being social but need to go recharge afterwards.

Feel free to reach out anytime if you're also looking for another CF friend! Mostly looking for platonic kind friends and age doesn't matter as long as we have things in common. I can share a photo of myself over chat as well, just wanted to not plaster it on the Internet for everyone to see right now. Talk soon! 😊

I’m a 33 year old living in Norway, born in Bosnia. I work and study psychology. In a 8 year relationship, no kids nor do I want any but I am an auntie and absolutely love that. I am not religious. Kinda a introvert extrovert, introvert on the basic but an extrovert when I vibe with someone. Love to travel, read, animals, movies, music, tvshows, fashion, cooking and baking. Some of the tvshows I love are Friends, Seinfeld and true crime docs. I love all sorts of music but mostly hiphop like Eminem, Tupac etc. I’m funny (atleast thats what I tell myself) and loyal. For the astrology girlies I’m a scorpio (toxic I know but I swear I’m not 😅) Would love someone who I can talk with about anything, joke about anything (even when its not politically correct), obsess over fictional characters and thirst over toxic badboy characters 😅 would love to get to know someone who shares the same interests 😁

Looking for friends in Calgary! I'm 32f!

I live in north Broward County, Florida, and am looking for other like-minded, childfree people to hang out with.

I'm a 39-year-old, dude who doesn't smoke/vape and rarely drinks (by choice).

Some of my hobbies include running, hiking, scuba diving, snorkeling, cycling (I'm getting back into it), reading and cooking. I love live music and listen to mostly rock.

If you're local and have the same hobbies, drop me a line!

Hi y'all! My husband and I (both 27) have been on the search for CF friends in Virginia. We live in the Shenandoah Valley area. I am sterilized and we both have known we don't want kids for a long time. Yay, DINKs for life!

We're both pretty nerdy and into tabletop gaming like dungeons and dragons. We love to travel and explore new places and cultures.

My husband is into Pokemon, football, anime, gaming, hiking, cooking, and relaxing with a cold beer or good whiskey at the end of the day.

A lot of my hobbies overlap with his, but I also enjoy reading (especially fantasy), baking, and knitting. I really enjoy self expression through tattoos.

We're both LGBTQIA+ friendly and 420-friendly. We'd love to meet some folks with similar interests who also don't want kids. We're down for anything -- games, movies, hiking, etc. Feel free to DM me!

I hate the fear of pregnancy. My husband had a vasectomy like 6 years ago. Up until 3 months ago I had been on birth control for 13 years. My gyno switched my meds due to my age (36) but then after the samples she sent me home with, I couldn’t get it refilled in time and ended up going off birth control. I don’t want to go back on bc as it gave me horrible migraines. But I got my period twice after coming off but now I’m two weeks late. I know the chances are small and I’m probably overthinking this. I am getting a test from the store today. And I know it can take 6 months for my hormones to balance but anyone else had this experience?? I DO NOT want kids !

I feel very bad right now. I don't know how to answer that. I love my dad and I understand that he come from an old very conservative generation but I told him that his words hurt.

Despite not wanted to have kids, sometimes I find myself comparing with women with kids and well stablish families and I feel less, despite having having a PhD, MBA, living abroad and being in a beautiful relationship of 2 years.. I know that is not the case, but the words of my dad are in my mind.

Childfree as in doesn’t have kids and has no desire to have kids/adopt/become a step parent. Women as in trans women, fem non-binary, and women. 25 as in 25 or older.

We discuss and play all kinds of games including otome games such as Taisho x Alice, Collar x Malice, Even if Tempest, etc. Currently we recently have started Slow Damage. We also play Stardew Valley (8 player farms), Among Us, King of the Castle, Placid Plastic Ducks, Fashion Dreamer, Jackbox games, etc. 

We have a Japanese language learning night every Saturday where we play Koe 声 too. We also talk about the country Japan in general. We typically have otome game night on Sunday evenings. There is a bot in the server you can use to look up any Japanese word you want to see the definition of it. In addition a Shiritori channel for members to play Shiritori together. (Note: For the month of October we are playing Among Us on Saturdays).

Shoujo/josei anime and manga, manhwa, and manhua is often discussed as well. Members also enjoy talking about art, fashion, food, and fun little activities like string figures (like cat’s cradle, etc).

We also like talking about witchy things like tarot cards, crystals, astrology, etc. This server has a witchy gamer vibe to it. ✨

Please DM me if you’d like the link. ❤️

I'm a 31 y/o F living in the Netherlands. I have known for as long as I can remember that I don't want kids. But I'm at an age now where everybody around me is starting a family.

I want to be a good friend to the people I love but I'm noticing that I find it hard to relate to their struggles. I've been struggling with this for a while, but today a good friend of mine was rushed to the hospital because of serious complications from a pregnancy. I am ashamed to admit that I find it hard to feel empathetic. Of course, I was worried about her health ( her surgery went well and she is home again) and of course, I wish she had everything she wanted in life. But up till 1,5 years ago we were having conversations about not wanting kids. And in that period she has changed her mind, which is completely fine and allowed of course. But she changed her mind and then had a lot of complications with pregnancies and now she is devastated she can't seem to carry a child. I'm really ashamed to admit this, but I find myself thinking, up till 1,5 years ago you didn't want this, how can this now be the worst thing that has ever happened to you? I feel horrible for having this train of thought, but I just can't understand how somebody can change their mind fully in such a short amount of time and risk their life for that wish. Not something I'm proud of but I was wondering if anybody can relate.

Anyone here from the Memphis suburbs? Germantown/Collierville ish areas?

I am a 26M living in Australia, who has been childfree for roughly a decade. I prefer to have small number of very deep friendships over lots of superficial ones.

I love animals, especially pets hold a special place in my heart. I grew up in a very abusive household which made me develop a lot of empathy for the suffering of others.

Learning gives me the biggest joy in life. The topics I enjoy learning the most are history, philosophy, psychology (mostly around self-improvement) and technology.

If any of this resonates with you, feel free to send me a DM or chat request :)

P.S - I'm always looking for friends. So even if this post gets old don't hesitate to reach out to me!

I live in a very small town with a funny demographic.

I work with dogs. I love going down YouTube rabbit holes. I love my PT cruiser, but she’s dying. I’m very invested in health and self care and would love to exchange routines/workouts etc. I love the beach, old buildings, reading(historic fiction and romance) I have an awesome nail polish collection and I love trashy romance anime.

Let’s chat!:D

Hello everyone! I am an accounting student in my junior year. Unfortunately, I am 5+ years older than most of my classmates. I got a few years behind in life from working as a cook (including being a BBQ pitmaster) and helping my grandparents get their house ready to sell before I ended up going to college. I do not really have any coworkers I click with at my part-time jobs, and a lot of them are also 5+ years younger than me. I'd really like to try to get to know some people my own age that I actually want to talk to.

I lean left and am agnostic. Used to be super interested in theology when I was still a Christian. I come from a religious background and used to be really interested in catholicism and orthodoxy. I am dedicated to striving for freedom without having to worry about kids or pets in my life. I manage the CFPF subreddit's new personals sub.

I like hiking and really anything outdoorsy, old retro media like old movies, and learning about a bunch of different stuff, like history and philosophy. Look through my post history and let me know if you think we'd click. If you love old stuff and are grumpy all the time, we'll probably get along just fine!

I’d love some childfree friends to hang out with. So many of my friends are consumed with their kids and we have to plan months in advance to do any little thing.

Just came here to vent. I’m so tired of my friends with their grandkids and kids and then on social media everyone is popping them out. Do people have better things to do? I mean I just feel like get a life guys. I mean my life isn’t the most exciting but it’s mine and I’m able to do what I want when I want. I have a kitty I love. Perhaps people hate pets and think I make a big deal over her. Idk, I just got back from a bridal shower. I’m so over it and done. I could only smile so much. I didn’t even want my own wedding. Kiss kiss, take a pic. Not my style. Anyway sorry, I guess I’m being a grump. Just gonna unwind. Too much stimulus.

Hello CF community, please help. I suddenly disgusted by children. Everytime i see them i can't stop thinking that they are Barbaric Tarzan who dont know how to behave. Scream her lungs out at 12midnight. Tantrum all the time. bad behaviour. Try to gauge her father eyes out. Beat her mother to pulp as 3 year old. is it just some kids or all the kids are like that? i remember thinking that children is an angel. innocent. And now i see them as a goblin. is there any way my feelings back? or is this because the child i've encounter this lately just really naughty? i spend last 10 years really want kids. spend all my effort to have one. But now, its poof that feeling gone. can someone enlighten me what is going on with me?

Hey, all! I'm a 38f from West Virginia, and I am happily childfree. My best friend just found out she's pregnant and, although I love her, she's been distancing herself and I realize that I need childfree friends. I have two cats who are my babies, and I love them. I love to read. Anyone interested in being friends?

Hey all! I run the Childfree Gamer Women 25+ US only discord helping childfree gamer women find local friends within the US. There is a friendship epidemic as I see childfree women worldwide looking for childfree women friends locally all the time.

The US Gamer server I run takes quite a bit of my time so I can’t actively run a worldwide server as I’m only one person, so I thought I’d make this post to see if there are any Childfree Women 25+ internationally (outside of the US) and Childfree Women 25+ within the US (who aren’t gamers) that would be interested in a staff position on an international discord server.

For example if a Childfree Woman 25+ from France became a staff member they would be tasked with bringing in other childfree women 25+ from France and helping Childfree Women finding friends within the regions of France. And just in general running events (whatever you want like book clubs, movie nights, etc)

I can’t actively run the International Server, but I can oversee it, I can teach you what I know/learned if need be once you’re a staff member, etc.

(Childfree as in doesn’t have kids, no desire to have kids/adopt/not a step parent.)

Comment or DM me if interested. ❤️

Edit: International Childfree Women 25+ is for all childfree women worldwide. This is NOT a gamer only group. For this group to become a reality it needs childfree women staff members. Please message me if interested.

Hello i am currently searching for friends that are also child free. Its crazy everyone is having children and thats great and all that but thats not what in life. Anyone understand? Update :

Thank you to everyone who commented. Genuinely very helpful. If you would like to follow along feel free to reach me on instagram bearcatbetch27.

Hey! So I have nieces and nephews and I love to hang out with them, but I always knew I didn’t wanna be a mother (since I was a kid) you guys deal with people that cannot understand that? So, I need to HATE kids in order to not wanting them? I don’t hate kids, and I don’t wanna look for excuses to make people happy and satisfied with my decision. To me it feels like it has to be always black or white, you cannot like them and not wanting them 🤷🏻‍♀️ dude! Im tired of that 🤣 sorry if my English sucks, im from Chile and I live in CA

I am a 47 year old childfree woman by choice (and married).

I have had parent friends over the years who were pretty chill. Most, not so much. However, when I moved to a new area a few years ago, one of my goals in meeting new friends was trying to connect with people around my own age (35-55) without kids. Tall order. I know. It’s difficult to meet friends as an adult, as is. Placing limitations just makes it more difficult. Anyway, I also told myself I would also just be open to people, whatever their life circumstances were. Well, I met a friend from an online class I took and we’ve been sporadically hanging out for a couple of years. She’s nice, also an introvert, and we have some of the same interests. Those are the pluses. The difficulties are the same as every other parent friendship I’ve had.

1. Talks about children a lot. I don’t mind a bit of child talk, but it’s hard to be friends with people whose life completely revolves around their kids. Again, I love my chill parent friends who have their own interests, but they don’t live near me. Her kids are also teenagers. I’d think it would ease up. I would be wrong.

2. Hang out time is around her daughter’s schedule. Only.

3. Brings daughter along, but doesn’t mention it at all beforehand. I’m mostly fine with it. Her daughter is sweet, but I don’t know her and it feels like she is sort of forcing interaction between us, which feels weird to both me and the daughter (who is very shy and I can tell it bothers her).

4. And here is the kicker behavior that bothers me so much and is very common among my mom friends I have had: Controlling and condescension. She has a way of sometimes trying to control the situation. In text. One on one. Not that she wants her way, but there are subtle passive aggressive “motherly” things she does. I could give lots of examples, but I’d be here all day. There is a tendency for her to try to “mother” at times and I can set boundaries with that. I am not looking for advice on how to deal with her. I am a direct person, but it’s something I have noticed with moms who tend to feel that their own lives aren’t their own. They spread those passive aggression and controlling behaviors to their friends. It gets very old and tiresome.

Have any of you noticed this? I am in a rural area with very little options. My therapist says if childfree friends are what I want, it might be good to limit time with parent friends and open up time for the childfree ones who come along. I think she is right, but it gets pretty lonely waiting, especially at my age. Especially being the homebody I am.

Hello,

I need some advice and I hope you won’t judge me. I’m feeling overwhelmed and confused. I have an appointment with my therapist tomorrow, but I just can’t wait.

I’ve been with my partner for almost four years. Ever since I was a child, I’ve known that I never wanted to have kids. When we started dating, I mentioned this to him, and he said he didn’t know how he felt about it. Two years later, I brought it up again, and it led to a huge argument. He wanted to end things, but I didn’t want to, so I said I might consider having one child.

Now, two more years have passed, and all his siblings have lots of kids and are trying for more. I’ve seen him interact with their kids, and it’s hard for me to imagine him giving up the idea of having children to stay with me. A few days ago, I broke down in tears and told him I cannot conceive the idea of having a child, ever. He admitted he felt guilty for pressuring me and said he always knew I wasn’t the “mother type.”

Now he says he’s debating the idea of having kids because he doesn’t want to lose me. He’s trying to decide what’s more important to him. I’m struggling to believe this because, for his siblings, having kids is their number one priority.

Should I believe him if he says he will give up the idea of having kids to stay with me? I’m worried that one day he’ll realize he does want kids and will either leave or push me to have one, making me very unhappy. My reasons for not wanting kids go beyond just not liking them. I have two health conditions that are highly heritable, and I think it’s selfish to bring more people into a world that might become uninhabitable. Nothing about pregnancy, delivery, or raising a child appeals to me. I just don’t have the instinct to have kids.

What should I do?

Hey everyone! Looking for childfree women in my area to make new friends. DMs are open if you're local!

Myself and my close friends are all in our 30s. I've know for a long while I didn't want kids, as I find the whole thing exhausting. My friends are now in the beginning stages of having babies, and I can't stand the group chat anymore. For the last year and a bit, 98% of the topic of conversation has to do with pregnancy, babies, and everything needed for pregnancy. My one friend who is in the beginning stages of trying, has become an absolute lunatic about becoming pregnate. She talks down of drinking, hates all outdoor cats for using her garden, so is litterlly taking all of the soil out of her gardens and replacing them bc of how toxic it is, had a meltdown for using nailpolish remover bc she didn't realize it was a bad chemical to be around, thinks every cramp in her body may be her "becoming pregnante", and I just can't anymore. She's making a rant from a vegan sound like a reasonable conversation at this time, bc of the level of paranoia she's become and how her entire personality now is just about becoming a mom. Ive told her more than once in the groups the reactions shes describing are anxiety, and she needs to take a step back a little and stop thinking everything is going to kill her. I don't even want to imagine what she will become like when she actually has the damn kid. In the group chat, my one friend tries to change the conversation to include me, and somehow in my other friends next response is back to something about becoming pregnate, or babies again. It's been over a year of this and I'm out. I've turned off the notifications to the group chats, because I don't want to read anymore of it. And don't really know how to tell the girls I'm just going to check out from this for a while. I knew being the only friend in this friend group not wanting a child, I would become distant just due to different lifestyles. I never expected to feel this way, where I don't want to be around this journey now. It's been a few weeks and the girls noticed I haven't been in the conversations, and are reaching out on other platforms. I'm on vacation, so it's easy to pretend I'm not around my phone, but I'm not sure how to tell them I don't like this, and the people they have become, because the obsessive necroticness of the conversations has become too much for me. I do have other cfc friends to hang out with, so I'm not alone. But it's like I know this other group just won't be around for a while anymore.
