  • Are you a late bloomer? Do you feel "behind" your peers in terms of success or experiences?
    Think of this video as a reminder to yourself that where you are in life is enough. Life isn't a race, and it certainly isn't a competition.
    Are you being too hard on yourself because you haven't "bloomed" yet?

    I am 23 years old. I still live with my parents, am a virgin, single, didn't go to collage and don't have my divers license. Yet despite all these things, I have a loving family, a good social life, a thriving job from a soon to be billion dollar aerospace industry who wants me to become a corporate consultant. Point of this story is there is no social norm. The term norm only implies what most aspire to be like, not what you are or will become.

    At 28 I was driving ubers and living at my parent's place. By complete chance I drove someone who referred me to her employer for a writing position. I decided to interview and got it, they liked me a bunch and kept promoting me at a crazy fast speed. In one year I was an account executive doing a job most people get MBA's to do. Now I'm 31 and have my first house (granted I don't live there, just rent it), I make excellent money and am happier than I've been for a long time.

    I'm definitely a late bloomer. 32 years old, never had a girlfriend in my life, living with parents, working only part-time... For much time after graduating university I was unemployed and had psychological issues with searching for a job...
    But hey! Now I know were I came from (emotionally disfunctional family, being bullied at school), so I told myself: I need to give myself a second chance in life. I went again to university, and now I also teach :) I also went to another college which belongs to my Church (I was raised a Catholic, but I became a Protestant), with a possible goal of working for the Church.
    So my appeal to all the late bloomers: if you struggle with your "unsuccessful" life, give yourself a second chance :) Choose your path wisely!

    I was kind of having a rough day, and this made me feel a lot better! I tend to worry a lot, especially about failing and the future. I'm also kind of a late bloomer in most social experiences (I didn't get my first friends until fifth grade and I've never been asked out on a date) so this gave me solace about all the worries in the world. So thank you for making this charming video. (P.S. I love the handwriting, it's so elegant).

    Also, u cant take your time if money is involved. My parents have been struggling financially to pay the college tuition fees. And they don't earn that much money to provide for us too. So they want me to finish college to help provide for our family. My parents want me to graduate sooner, so as annoying as it is, they keep telling me
    "Hey, X got a job already"
    "Hey, Y has recently graduated"
    And to add they keep pressuring me to stop taking my time because we don't know if we will run out of money. So yeah, i wish i had the luxury to take my time...

    This video came at the perfect time for me. I’m currently pushing on 23 living with my parents and working in a part-time job out of pure necessity to cover for my studies. I have to admit that I never been in a relationship before. It was hard to keep that secret in a small college where everyone was “expected” to get engaged and married following college, especially in my social circle. I was even made fun of just for that alone. After dealing with unrequited love in the latter half of my time in college, I just fell into a downward spiral mentally. I ended up checking out of social media and actual social life. It was not to long ago before I ended up in psychiatric care to aid my Asperger’s, MDD, and anxiety. Late bloomers was a topic that my therapist went over with me recently and that resonated with me today. On the bright side, I finished my first semester in my MBA and started playing in a professional jazz band playing shows within this month. Bottom line is that life is not determined by social norms of success or petty competition. It’s no doubt that life is hard as it is. The best thing we can do is count our blessings and work to be the best versions of ourselves. Once again, thank you Psych2Go for all the help this year.

    I am an extremely late bloomer in terms of relationships. I didn't have a relationship or sex until I was 29. It was a good relationship that lasted for a year, but it ended when we were about to move in together when I suddenly realized I wasn't ready for that and backed out. I had doubts about the future of the relationship and was afraid to sign a lease. She decided there was no reason to be together in light of this, so she broke up with me.
    It's been four months since the breakup. It still hurts. I have often felt like she didn't understand me or my feelings, and didn't want to work through this struggle to make the relationship work again. As time passes I'm starting to realize that the way it ended had more to do with her own problems than mine (she put pressure on me to move in with her to get her away from a toxic relationship with her mother, with whom she was living). I am slowly learning to appreciate my instincts and that I made the right decision by not moving in with her. I have talked to many people and have gotten a new therapist since the breakup and they all say I didn't do anything wrong and was just being honest with myself.
    I am slowly learning to love myself more about where I am in life and not compare myself to other people. It's a challenge, but I'm making progress. My recovery from the breakup has hardly been linear. As this video reflects, few satisfying things in life rarely are.

      Another thing she did that was very weird and invalidating was she called my actions "disrespectful," as though expressing these doubts at the last minute was disrespectful of her time and feelings and as though I didn't know how to communicate. I did communicate, my timing just wasn't the best because my feelings didn't make themselves apparent until we were applying for a house.

    I came to this video because I'm in my late 20s and have been feeling behind due to struggles in my life. However, I somehow feel worse because so many of the "late bloomers" in these comments are teens or people in their early 20s...I understand everything is relative but there's a problem in our society when teenagers are saying they are late bloomers...I feel like things just go too fast and now everyone believes they should have it all together by the time they're 18. It's as if these goal posts society has set up for us are becoming younger and younger and that's quite concerning.

      I'm an 18 year old senior in high school, and still haven't had a job and haven't got my driver's license while a bunch of people my age and 1 year younger got one. My mom threatens that I will join the military if she keeps on fully supporting me in 19, which I don't blame her because even I hate it when she has to fully support me.

    I’m 22 and basically a grown manchild. Didn’t start my college career until winter of 2022, and I’m still a sophomore. Spent my early adult life at a community college. I have never had a job. Barely went out to party with friends and became a total recluse. I had a girlfriend during that time but I was so immature, cowardly, and stupid. I didn’t fully understand how much work a relationship was. We broke up last September. I’m in college right now but I really just want the full college experience but I’m too old for it now. Everyone my age is already about to graduate and move on with there lives. I still think like a child and I’m not sure how to think like an adult. My social skills also suck but they’re getting slightly better. It’s just taking so damn long for me to get my life where I want it.

    I think those who presume of "success" in "achieving" things like a stable job, marriage or kids are just stupid people who do what everyone expects from them. They are doing everything to fit in society instead of what they really want and that is just sad.
    In their eyes I'm a late bloomer, but in my eyes they are premature grey people. I'm really happy to be who I am and to have the life I live.
    I'm grateful of have a family that cares about me, to have food, a house, water, electricty, internet, a bed, a room, a hot shower, my cats, my friends, MYSELF.

    As someone who will be turning 25 in November and has never had a job or finished college, this video makes me feel a little better about myself. I still feel like I'm stuck, though, mostly for the fact that I feel zero motivation to do much for myself in the way of finding work or going to college. The thought of either of those things makes me feel both miserable and stressed, but I also know if I want to move to Scotland to be with my boyfriend, it'd be unfair of me to expect he'll do everything to bring us together and not do anything myself to help make it happen. That, unfortunately, doesn't change the fact that I still don't know exactly what I want to do. I have some ideas of where my strengths and passions are, but my motivation to actually go after them has been shot for several years now.

    "Late bloomer" in the States is "way too fast" in most othrr countries. People don't leave their house until their 30s in Italy or China, after marriage. There are 30+ year old virgin males in muslim countries due to religion. I find this message weird. Having your first bf in your early twenties is not being "late" outside of North America and a few western European countries. On a global scale it's normal to even early :/

    Thank you for this. I don't know if I'm a late bloomer as I'm still 17 but I felt as if my life crumbled a bit when O-level results came and I didn't get enough grades to immediately get enrolled into a school while my friends did. I got so sad and was lost. I was scared that I was wasting my life away. Yet, this whole year of break gave me the opportunity to grow as a human being. I did what I've dreamt on doing, learnt a new langauge, challenged myself, got new friends and even went on stage to perform my very own work. All in all, even though this year was rocky, I'm thankful and glad. So to those who are feeling bad about not being able to start something immediately like others are, don't worry. Live in the present and just do your best now. It's not the end of the world. We fall and fall, and the only option is to stand up again and go on. So cheer up. I am rooting for you. It'll all make sense in the end. Once again, thank you for this video! All the best to us late bloomers!💕

    I don't know whether this sounds wrong or not, but seeing all the stuff in the comment section makes me sort of relieved that I'm not the only one who feels the same way.
    I'm currently 19, having moved out of my parents house a few months ago to start studying at uni, but I've pretty much realized at this point in time that the course I'm currently studying isn't the one I thought it would be, but the staff there are really nice and are helping me to get reorientated towards a course that's much better suited for me, and while I still enjoyed my time there, I really felt like that I had screwed up big time because I hadn't made sure the course was for me, and that'd I'm pretty much half a semester behind everyone else whom I've met here.
    I'm a really shy and introverted person IRL, and I have a lot of trouble connecting with people or trying to find stuff to talk about; I very much just hang around on the edge, wanting to be able to communicate and open up more. I'm single and have yet to be in a relationship, but I can't help but feel envious to want to be whenever I see all my friends, both IRL and online, in healthy and loving relationships with their SO. I want to be wanted, if that makes sense.
    I also like to make digital art and play video games in competitions and tournaments, and while i enjoy it, I have this constant overarcing fear of 'not being good enough' or 'not being the best' or 'not being good as this person' and so on. The reason for this is because while I do these things because I enjoy them and want to go somewhere with them, I also feel like that I need to be noticed and approved of, so I can know for myself that what I'm doing is good and I should keep it up... I feel like I need to be noticed in a good way, if that makes sense, but seeing everyone around me do that first makes me feel rotten because I feel like I'm going too slow or I'm not up to the required standards or something. I know it's not a race, but I just feel that way, and I can't seem to put my finger on what's causing me to feel like this.
    Anyways, that concludes my little rant. This sounds wierd, but seeing everyone in the kind of same position that I am gives me some peace of mind that I'm not the only one, and that there are others just like me.
    You're all wonderful in your own ways. You all keep being you.

      Dude dont worry you have a long life ahead of you. You are barely 19 with many great experiences ahead of you. Most college students change their carrier courses after discovering that it wasnt meant for them. I have many graduates who are working in totally different fields, trade jobs and such even though they possess a bachelors. I am one of them, i got my bachelors and after trying jobs related to that field i changed my mind. Now , I am leaning towards the medical field. I am 26, huge debt and still living with parents but let me tell you, as long as you preserve and work on yourself all things will fall into place . After graduating i had no idea on what to do with my degree but like i said, focus on yourself and then all the things you want will come into place. Explore the world and just dont give a fuck. Girls and guys love that confidence. Try things out , you don't lose anything at tying things out. If you fail, then learn from it. Trust me you are in a good place my friend:).

Things did not work out, at all. Now I am back in school and in an entry level job. At 48. While I love what I am in school for, and have started the job path toward that, I feel so far behind.

Suddenly, after 4 years of thinking that I would be a music major, I realized that it wasn’t meant to be and my plans just went down the drain. I thought I was way behind of everyone else, who I thought had their career choices in mind and are writing out college applications. But maybe I’ll find my career path in due time and try to embrace what I have for now in order to figure out my future. So far, I have no idea what my passion is, but if I embrace the present and keep looking I’ll find it.

      I had a similar experience. At one point, music was becoming the source of anxiety and grief (kind of like a bad relationship), and I felt like my whole world was crumbling. It hurt so much, especially considering how I used to credit music for pretty much saving my life and was my only motivation. After studying for 5 years, then dropping out and feeling like a failure, I wandered for 4 years, wallowing in depression and not really sure what to do with my life. I thought music was the only thing I was good at and I was useless at anything else. I'd hit rock bottom, and I just got tired of doing nothing about it. It didn't do anything for me other than just constantly loop how sad I was. I started doing other things that interested me, did some soul searching and re-evaluated what mattered most to me. Being alive, loving the arts, being fascinated by nature and history, standing up for social justice and people. I'm 27 starting from scratch and am working towards getting a degree in Sociology and Chicano Studies, and while I'm still not sure what exactly I'm going to do, I'm loving the journey.
      I hope that you find what you're looking for, but most importantly, that you work towards your happiness that you deserve.

    This video has a great message. I think society has put so much pressure on young people especially to have their entire lives figured out, but at this stage in our development, there are so many opportunities and possibilities for change that it doesn't make sense to trap ourselves in a particular path from the get-go when we have no idea what will come to us later on. It's so much more valuable - I think - to be open to the possibilities and to be flexible in the face of change instead of sculpting your life for one path that will become obsolete or get completely destroyed if one little detail doesn't go as planned.

While I as 26yrs old never had a chance to have a date with anybody, still virgin, still living with parents and without job, still dreaming to have my own breathing space.

Even though I had these ambitions and dreams, an amazing family and friends, I felt like something was lacking from my life, although I didn't know what. Then my dad died suddenly, one of those instances where he went to work and never came home. After grieving for months and slowly getting back up on my feet, I realized what was missing from my life: happiness. My dad's death was a wake up call, reminding me that life is short and that if I want something I need to go out and get it. I decided that my happiness was more important than the social norms, so I left the medical field and began studying sociology instead. I've never been happier and although my dad can't be here to watch me finally thrive, I know he'll always have my back.

From january through may i was in a constant state of sadness,i could feel the darkness surrounding me. I dont exactly remember how i managed to escape that dark place,but i guess it was a combination of the help of my great friends,my decision to abandon all social media and watching youtube videos such as this. Now,at the end of 2018,i feel what i can only descibe as true happiness. I never got into a relationship or did anything romantic like i belived i needed during my dark times,but that is ok. The one thing i never fully overcame was what this video describes. My friends all have had some romantic experiances,while i have a grand total of zero. And i always thought that i had to catch up. Only recently and moreso today did i realise how stupid my thought process was. Right now i want to forge my own destiny,my own path,i feel like i want to explore the whole world. And it feels trully peacefull. It took me a year,but i got the hapiness i wanted.
    Well that is quite the ramble and i should be studying. If you read all of that and made it to the end,i would like to thank you for taking the time to read this. And i shall apologise in advance for any mistakes,english isnt my first language and i cant be bothered to check this gigantic paragraph of mine.

    Sometimes I couldn´t sleep because I kept thinking about how I should´ve done certain things by now, which I simply couldn´t do because I´m behind in terms of emotional development.
    I didn´t have many emotions until I was 10-12 years old, so I never learned to properly express these emotions. I got confused, people expected me to know the answer to my problem, and I got stressed because of this.
    I had massive anger issues, as well as anxiety that my anger issues would hurt the people I love. For about 5-7 years, I felt a lot like the Hulk. A brilliant man with a rampaging and uncontrollable beast inside, just waiting to tear down everything I´ve worked on and setting me back to square one. This fear only made my anger issues more difficult to handle, and every time I had a breakdown, people started blaming me for something I had no control over, so the time between these breakdowns got shorter and shorter because people kept expecting me to blow up, and treated me miserable because of it.
    About 3 years ago, I started psychologically analyzing the characters in my fantasy novels and my fanfictions, and I finally realized something about myself. This interest in psychology was born from various RUclips channels, such as this one, and I´m incredibly grateful for everything you do. Mental illnesses are really fascinating, especially for me as an author, but they also got me interested in psychology, and I hope that more people can learn as much from this channel as I have.
    I learned about myself that I hate taking the blame for things. This goes so far that I avoid situations where I tell others what to do, because if they mess up, they might blame me for giving poor instructions. And this shows in how my characters are designed, and what roles they play in their respective story. Here are a few:
    - Stealth (My Little Pony OC): He grew up in an orphanage, and his name is actually just a nickname. He got it because he was so good at sneaking that he would sometimes even fade out of the field of view of the ones he was talking to. He worked as master thief for a while, spent a voluntary year in prison to plan his revenge after being betrayed by his adopted family, and now works as secret agent for the ruler of the land. Well, until recently. His soul merged with an ageless demonic entity and he went insane for two-ish years, until he and the entity struck a mutually beneficial deal. He then escaped from Limbo, from which there is supposed to be no escaping, and continued his work to serve the magic that keeps the land alive.
    - Zak (Pokémon OC): A Zoroark who hates humans ever since he found out they use the life force of Pokémon to power all their devices. He has a secret agenda to launch mankind back into the medieval ages, or at least make them stop using Pokémon life force for their own gain, and he uses his powerful illusions to pull it off. Well, his illusions, his stealth skills, his connections and groups of wild Pokémon, whom he can easily sway because he knows how they think. He even pitches mankind against itself at some point.
    - Sirena Blue (RWBY OC): The queen of an entire under water kingdom called Soraklia. This may seem to not fit the established pattern of spies, secret agents and other covertly operating people, until you realize that she´s the sole ruler and highest possible authority in her society. If she gives an order, it´s a good idea. She also is a masterful strategist, and was even able to predict and control global events with only a month´s worth of planning. Sure, she made one small mistake, but that only proves how good she is. In three years, everything, on a global scale, went according to a plan she came up with in little under a month. Sure, she gets blamed for what´s happening even when it´s not her fault, but that´s just because the one person who does blame her for stuff is one of only 6 people who knows that these things could potentially be her fault. You can´t trace anything back to her. If she wants to ruin a company so she could buy it, she would have the company do something so terrible that they have to sell to someone, then the new owner falls ill, his son takes over, he goes through a rushed marriage and divorce, signs the wrong papers, the woman gets the company, the man sues her for making him sign the wrong papers, the man´s lawyer gets the company because the man keeps signing the wrong papers, and the lawyer sells it to Sirena for a huge profit. Each step would take at least 2 years to complete, and by the end of it all, you can´t even prove that Sirena was the reason the new owner fell ill, because his surveillance cameras have already deleted every trace of the footage of that day. Yeah, if Sirena left any indicator that his accident wasn´t an accident, one could have figured it out, but he was in a coma, and all signs pointed at a fall down the stairs with no outside influence, so why bother?
    But yeah, it was a bit until I realized why I made my OCs in a way that they can rarely be blamed for their actions. But once I figured that out, I got a lot better, and I guess I have you to thank for that. Well, you know around how many corners I think of a lazy day (just look at Sirena´s planning again), so you´re definitely partially responsible for my success. Thanks. :)

    I'm 20, still live with my mother. I'm single, I only had a relationship that didn't go well and we barely kissed. There's been months and I still can get over that person.
    I'm going to college, but my heart isn't on it. My dream is to be a writer, but my mother doesn't agree and expects me to choose a more stable career. Plus, I'm trying to write my first book (with the though that, if I can do that before finishing college, I won't feel the duty of finding another kjog that I don't want and that will take away my time to write). Plus, I don't feel confident in my writing skills, but I believe that getting to finish my first book will help on that too.

    I quit following my dreams at 23. I'm now 29 and I realize... wow I have a lot of life left (possibly, of course). Do I want to accept defeat and just live out my days working for minimum wage in a Bakery? or do i want to DO what i love? It's truly not about "making it big" at this point. It's about spending my time on what i love as much as i can. I had this epiphany that living your dream does not require you to "make it", living your dream is literally something you can do NOW, TODAY. Embrace the grind. Embrace the work before you make it, and embrace the fact you might never make it. I know what it's like to quit.... you still have to wake up the next day. Another way to put it is this: It is scary to truly go for it and put yourself out there. But accepting that you aren't even going to try and therefore definitely won't make it SHOULD be 1000x scarier. Anyways, I'm just sharing this because im inspired. Choose to live your dream NOW. LETS GOOOOOO!!!!

    For 2 years now I’ve been living with my bf and we already have one unsuccessful businesses behind our backs. Now we started a new business but still we don’t have enough money and I keep wondering about those people on my FB... they seem so happy, but how can they get money so fast, I know they just have regular jobs but... it makes me sad sometimes... we had sleepless nights and no-one there to support us. But we are still fighting to get where we want to be. I wish you all to have courage to pursue your dreams and goals because it’s definitely not easy.

    I had a lot of worries about this recently, since I am falling behind with my college completion, and even finding an internship job. I felt incredibly lost, and unsuccessful seeing my collegemates do better than me. Social media can also make things worse.

It can get incredibly hard; and realizing that the social norms we are told about, are basically equivalent to a fairytale can be difficult as well.

    Im gonna be 22 this summer. These comments are what I need in my life. XD I feel less alone now. Never been on a date, had a real bf, kissed, still virgin, still live at home, never got a car or license. Although I have gotten my permit but no longer have that. There was a very short time period I went to college however I failed out of it. For my age I never really was taught basic life skills or I was taught much later in life or I would just attempt to figure things out on my own. Mostly my circumstances in life were super unfavorable towards me becoming independent. It has made me super depressed knowing my parents must rely on me for money yet I would always feel like I couldn't get my own life started. But what's worse is feeling like people would think im selfish for saying that. I am perfectly fine helping out my parents financially. It can be hard not to compare myself to others. I have very strong insecurity fears regarding how my life should be at my age. Those are very personal and I dont think I could ever even share them. I'm too scared to share them even with a specialist. I'm too embarrassed unless I hear someone else talk about them first so that way I know im not the only one. But now I am finally getting an opportunity in my life to gain true independence. So I'm super hyped and thankful for that at least. But kinda wished it happened a bit sooner. But tell myself I shouldn't think that way. I should just be glad it's happening at all.

Despite getting all A's in high school, the thought of college when I was 18 was too much. I never went and pursued a career in art instead. It took me until I was 28 to become socially able to handle the demands of friendship and travel and thoughts of college (won't be going, but I still think about it.) Sometimes I feel like I'm slow (also still living with parents) but I'm a late bloomer. My clock runs differently than others.
