I feel like i'm going to be a late bloomer in life since i was a shy individual in my early years. I'm 23 and still in college. Most ppl that i know are married and have kids already and i feel like im going to be a late bloomer when it comes down to be social and what not. Are you a late bloomer when it comes down to being social or marrying or having kids late?

I didn't marry until I was 33 and had my first child at 34. I really didn't consider myself a late bloomer, I simply hadn't found anyone that I cared to marry until them. I really enjoyed my years as a single person and I would suggest that you do not worry about getting married and having kids for now. It will happen when it was meant to be. In the meantime enjoy your freedom, enjoy living on your own and doing what you want, because that will drastically change once you are a wife and mother.

Life is like flowers, you bloom when it is your time and no one else can determine when that time is, it comes naturally.

No, I was a pretty early bloomer (in grade 5) I'm a guy btw
Most of my friends are late bloomers, and they just didn't let it affect them.
I always dress emo, (cause I am emo) I always wear stuff like black jeans, combat boots, and a band tshirt.

Oh gosh yes! I didn't get married until my thirties. I finally feel strong and comfortable with myself. I was painfully shy in high school and now I'm not at all. People are shocked when I tell them I was shy earlier in life because now I'm so friendly and outgoing. I love it.

Life is often a work in progress, spend less time worrying about time and more forging ahead-And this is important: Enjoying it as much as you can.

Yes. Late bloomer here (didnt' even get to university until age 30 so you're already "ahead" of me).

Life is the journey, not the destination. Do prepare for the future parts of the journey, but not at the expense of the journey itself.

You may never ever marry or have kids. Or, you may do it later in your life. Either way, that's OK ... it's *your* journey.

No. I'm social but I'm not interested in getting married and having children.
