Society puts way too much value on marriage and children, specifically for women.

When I was five (that's right, FIVE), I thought I would have no future or life because I didn't like men. And when I made friends with boys, I thought it was a crush, and I didn't even care about the love aspect, I only got excited about "having a crush," and when I would actually fantasize about being wed, the man wasn't even the focus in my imagination, and sometimes he wouldn't even be involved.

And I would also fantasize off and on about getting pregnant and having a large amount of kids until I was 8, even though I couldn't imagine who I would have them with, or how I would take care of them.

Even though I've been unlearning this mindset, I think it's done permanent damage to my brain. I can't really figure it out, but I just feel like I'd be different if I've never learned that mindset.
