I can relate to Paul. Being an introvert and never being at ease. My brain is exhausted from constantly being surrounded by someone or that I have to be in settings I am not comfortable in. But I would not say I regret having a child, every stage passes, and a child have made my life interesting again in my mid 30s.

But there will only be one child, I am not going through the “stages” again

No regrets from me yet, I love being a parent. Watching my kid learn and develop is awesome.
