I always hated the pressure my family put on me to get married and have kids. I remember my doctor told me id never have kids and all i could think about was how people would look at me as if my life would be less than or something.

....Do you see marriage as something that can happen to you, at any time, without any real choice in the matter?

Otherwise, I can't tell if maybe you're telling "someone" that suicide is the right idea for them?
'Cuz it's kinda like saying:
"Someone: Why haven't you chosen to marry someone?"
"Me: For same reason you're not dead yet! It's not time to make that choice!"

I wonder what you have to experience to equate the inevitability of death to marriage.
There could be some overlap with the whole arranged marriage that's possibly legally enforced or something.
But saying "it's not my time" implies compulsory marriage isn't really the situation.

I always hated the pressure my family put on me to get married and have kids.

Most children hate parental/familial pressure.
"Eat your vegetables!"
"Go to your room!"
"Go to school!"
"Brush your teeth!"
"Stop hitting your brother!"
"Flush the toilet!"
"Don't put that in your mouth!"

None of your business. Why do you care? Why don't I have children? None of your business. The pressure and expectations are insane! You're pretty, how could you possibly be single? Is that a compliment or an insult to people that you find less attractive and are single?

I remember those days. That's one of the perks that come with age. People start asking you these stupid questions. Your life is worth the value you place on it; not others. I'm sorry to hear about your path.
