There is a personality that is a late bloomer. Seems like me. Basically, misunderstood for years, rarely speaks, rarely befriends, strangely mature to the point where many misunderstand him, knows that there is a lack of meaning of life and a power dynamic against their kind, but it only shines upon growing into adulthood, because most fears and reward do not impact them at all like a stone statue and they can just be brutally honest, have their own beliefs because they were resistant to the toxic ideas that relatives+society throws at him all along. And then they become respected with a title, becoming useful and admirable without any such formal leadership. They go free, with their own personality. There is no mid-life collapse, because they have the right ability to understand the world logically, and they can finally use it well. (Inner coherence) No need for speed over logic, approval over believing in what he has believed all along.
However, the world is chaotic. Still, people who grow early tend to stagnate early, so I think this is true?
For gifted people that have passionate great interests, like me being a programmer, or writing this wiki, one problem is not finding people of the right age to talk with, and seeing everyone around as completely illogical (this was me when I just went into this school, to the point that I thought silliness was the only way to make friends, as everyone else was silly as well!)
There’s one famous case of a 12-year-old or so getting bored in school, not doing homework, not because he was incompetent, but because he literally saw zero purpose in doing easy stuff, so he went to university and actually did well + lectured people, and then he became pretty famous.
