I'm kind of selfish......deal with it!

So, I had a conversation with a good friend last night, and it made me feel better about something I've always held against myself.
I am an incredibly self-involved person. I am also an incredible perfectionist, which when combined with my penchant for obsession, makes me a little hard to deal with sometimes. For instance, my books and DVDs are very precisely and intricately organized. If someone were to move an item out of its prescribed location, I would immediately notice, and would not be able to get back to any sort of task at hand until it was moved back. I have an eagle eye for things of that nature, and I will, inevitably notice.
I say I'm self-involved, because I know that these little quirks of mine matter very little to the people around me and even less to the world at large. But until everything is right in my own little corner of the world, I cannot pay attention to anything going on with anyone else.
I bring all of this up because, I decided long ago I did not want any children. The reason for this is twofold: I am not capable of being selfless enough to be a caring enough father to anyone; second, I am far too demanding of perfection to allow children to be children. I'd expect them to be miniature adults from the time they were born, and I don't think that would be fair to them.
In this conversation I had last night, I realized, finally, that I am not the only person who feels like this. I have discussed this with my mother many times, and with good friends, and I have always been made to feel like I was just a completely awful person, simply because I'm big enough to admit I'd be a terrible parent. After speaking to someone else who feels this way, I feel that my cause is more noble than terrible. I think that we are actually doing the world a favor by not bringing in more children who would merely end up resentful and maladjusted.
I guess, in the end, it isn't all that bad to be self-involved. Perhaps not to the point of being pathological, but I think a fair amount of self-absorption, might just end up making the world a better place.
