I'm not surprised at the findings either.
I was a late bloomer as well. I was the good kid growing up. While the other kids were drinking, smoking and experimenting with drugs and sex, I was on the student council and studying. I didn't fit into any one particular group and everybody seemed to like me despite the fact I didn't join in, so, I guess I had it better than most.
Back then, I had low self esteem, but I think it more me judging myself than others passing judgment. I tried so hard to get everyone to like me. For the most part I think they did, but I felt pretty bad nearly all the time.
Today, I just don't really give a shit what the general public thinks of me. Somewhere along the way I just stopped trying so hard. I mean, I won't go out of my way to instigate or be indifferent for the sake of being indifferent, but I won't chase someone around desperately trying to get someone to like me, which is decidedly different than my high school days.
