You know how people now talk about eating disorders and disordered eating, with the latter being people who have issues with food but not enough for a diagnosis? That's how I feel about most r/childfree people: they don't have a personality disorder, but they do have a disordered personality. There's a lot of issues with relating to other people and understanding socially normative behavior.
Also, a lot of them take crazy cat lady to a new level.
I poke around there now and then and it seems like there's a sizable chunk of people who grew up in abusive households and don't know how to break the cycle other than by just going childfree altogether. Tbh I can respect the people with bad mental health/prone to outbursts or addiction issues that are self aware enough to know they couldn't raise a child properly and opt out. Those people aren't the cows though, the 13 year olds talking about how much they hate their 2 year old sibling and start looking for doctors to sterilize them are the ones that I derive amusement from personally.
