How should one feel in life if they’re a late bloomer? Has anyone ever felt this way or can relate?

[Paulalove98]

I sometimes feel insecure or down about myself because I’m a late bloomer. I had a sad childhood when I was bullied, I didn’t have many friends, my dad always restricted me from everything , I didn’t experience a whole lot as a teenager. I didn’t have sex till I was 22 years old, I don’t know how to drive a car, and I barley met my fiancé at 24 years old almost 25. I know people who are younger than me who had stuff happen to them and I feel sometimes embarrassed or ashamed or like I wasn’t good enough.. it’s an ugly feeling.

Well guess what today is not yesterday
It was a moment in time this is a new moment so let all those things that hold you back go leave them behind don't let them hold you back anymore and do what you want to do now forget about what you felt like forget about all the garbage that came along with it today's a brand new day

When we were born we were all given a gift that gift is choice we get to choose who we want to be by the things that we say and do so let it all go and start all over don't be embarrassed about nothing it is what it is and if somebody doesn't like it that's their problem you got Life to live with a smile on your face and nothing to hold you back stop it get rid of that garbage how long are you going to carry that around with you from this day forward let it all go

Proud because it still happening it doesn’t matter when you achieve it , because it still happening. However I do relate to You my childhood was very similar to yours

Don’t worry about trivial things. You are special in your own ways. To bloom late is not that bad. You will be fine

Try to be happy at least you have a fiance now. The past is the past, look towards your future.

Honestly you’ve always been way too hard on yourself.

Just take a deep breath. You’ve got this! ❤️

I truly truly appreciate it thanks, and him and I have been taking healthy social media breaks here and there as well because we’re similar in nature when it comes to being sensitive and even from myself I’ve learned self care and love comes within and even if deep down I’ve experienced so much heartache I’m trying to get some good therapy sessions and healthy remedies to help along the way it definitely makes a difference.
