I never had much interest in being a child. As a way of being it seemed flat, failed to engage.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being a late bloomer, I really didn't have any interest in children until my late 30s, but I'm so happy I didn't go through life without that experience.
I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people's.
I always hated being a child. I always felt like an adult trapped in a child's body.
I didn't feel very attractive as a child and actually I wasn't.
I was never the girl who yearned for children. I pretended to be interested in other people's kids, but that was obviously just an act.
I didn't have a normal childhood by any means.
I was always different from all the other kids, and I was doing things that nobody else did or seemed to have any interest in.
I was not considered a kid that would be successful in my career.
I never felt that my life was not complete without a child. I don't know if that, as a younger man, I'd have had full appreciation for it.
I don't remember being a child, and that's why I think I'm so child-like now in my unending curiosity and approach to life.
