I wasted so many years of my life without even knowing

I constantly hear people say "oh i figured that out when I was in highschool" or "i spent a lot of my childhood discovering myself"

It seems so many, if not the majority of people, had a lot of self actualization and self discovery in their teens, and meanwhile I was just moving through the motions of life unaware of everything.

It took me until 23 to start experimenting with myself and my identity. TWENTY FUCKING THREE.

I never once had a moment of real internal questioning up until fairly recently and I feel so fucking late...

And i know "better late than never" but god its still so irritating that it took me this long. I feel so slow. Genuinely could there be something wrong with my brain?
