Can you all explain why don't some people understand that some people can be late bloomer and thats why even basic things might feel special to them?

So I am just asking because I have had some on here in my posts judging me for being excited about my social excitement as they are just basic interactions and some even asking why I am talking to strangers. But some people can simply be late bloomers like I am now at 25. I was literally bullied and humiliated a lot in school so I developed trust issues and low self-esteem so I spent most of my teenage years and some of my early 20s too without talking to girls and just withdrawing and avoiding them and the bullying was damaging. My undergrads didn't help as I was in engineering so a very skewed gender ratio with much more male students than females. I only overcome the shyness at 23 and started talking to women. Now at 25 I am making up for all those lost years during the more formative years. Yeah I am talking more to strangers now simply because I am recently done with my MBA and job searching. So instead of feeling stuck and frustrated in home in this job search phase, I simply go out only twice or thrice every week to Central areas of our city Bangalore in India and socialize with women even foreign ones as I enjoy exploring new cultures and cross-cultural interactions. I feel curious nowadays about diverse people. I just don't have the structure like an University or a workplace where I can socialize so I am relying on approaching strangers.

I am also doing it to gain social skills and yeah I am talking more to women because thats what I missed out on-female interactions when I was younger. I also talk with foreign men sometimes as I genuinely feel curious about people from different cultures. Also you all may wonder why I don't use dating apps but I used them and never got matches. Also I was born in India and grew up with Indians so its obvious that talking to foreigners will feel more different to me. And as a late bloomer, some interactions like a smile from a woman and all feels special. Also I never really had many friends due to trust issues so just putting myself out there and being more outgoing after such an introverted past. So why do some people still dismiss us even though some can simply be late bloomers and catching up as adults? Many says how hard it is to socialize after college so I am creating social opportunities now.

Special to you, not to anybody else.

@Heroisthebest25 I don’t say I don’t like you post. I’m answering your question of why late bloomers aren’t held in any special fondness by others.
This will not change those interactions, but I'm sorry you are so bothered by their lack of depth.
