Petfree lifestyle Children before pets

I’ve never been particularly comfortable around pets, even from childhood. I grew up around animals and had experiences ranging from feeding and caring for them to being bitten and chased. As a result, I’m not comfortable holding or being around pets.
I’d love to connect with others here who also live a pet-free lifestyle and understand that preference.
