Some people believe that an old soul is a person who has been reborn multiple times and has had other lives in the past. So it makes sense that even people who don’t believe in reincarnation can call someone an old soul, which means they are wise and mature beyond their age.
Unfortunately, old souls can sometimes feel misunderstood because they are different, but there are actually a lot of positives to this. We believe that being an old soul makes you unique. So, this is where you should be proud of it!
You Don’t Care About Material Things
You are not striving to be rich or to save as much money as possible. You only need to cover your basic needs and a little extra money in case of emergency.
You don’t follow all the trends, buying a phone every time a new model is released or buying clothes that are hot for a short period of time.
You choose things that work well and last a long time, although they may be a bit outdated and not as beautiful as they looked when you bought them.
Intangible things are more important to you. You are constantly looking for new things to learn and you want to grow as a person.
You Value Meaningful Connections
Instead of having many acquaintances, you focus on a small group of people who hold your interest and are the most important to you.
You want to build deep relationships with them. Your friends can be of any age and have different backgrounds and experiences.
You probably gravitate towards older people, because your old soul is looking for that soul mate. In your childhood, it may have been difficult to be friends with children your age.
Maybe your colleagues even thought you were weird and arrogant and made fun of you for it.
It may also have been because, in your family, you had to assume a more mature role due to some difficult situation. That is why you focus your attention and value the few people who can understand you and your situation well.
You’re An Empath
Old souls are extremely sensitive to other people’s feelings and emotions. If someone you care about is worried about something or going through a difficult time, you feel their pain as their own, if not more intensely.
You want to help and make others feel better, and that makes you more mature in a way.
You Need A Lot Of Alone Time
Others may see you like a bit distant and distracted, but in reality, it’s not because you’re cold or because you don’t care. Instead, you get all the information from your environment and analyze it further.
It is because of your emotional sensitivity that you need a lot of time to process everything and recharge. Also, instead of actively participating in something, you prefer to be an observer.
A lot happens in your head, so you can spend a lot of time daydreaming, but it can also help you be very creative.
Are you an old soul? Or do you know someone who is? Do these characteristics resonate with you? What else do you think old souls have in common and how are they different from other people?
