My ex/best friend sees it different from a soulmate and I agree. He said it can be platonic. But it's basically the other half of your own soul while a soulmate is separate from your own soul. They are just in your soul family.

We both were and still are under the influence (I'm high and he is drunk) though so this may not make much sense lol

But he doesn't believe in soulmates but believes in twin flames. And I think I do too. I think we are twin flames because we think so much alike now. It's insane.

Here's the Google definition-

A twin flame is a spiritual concept for an intense soul connection with someone seen as your "mirror soul" or "other half," originating from one soul split into two bodies; these relationships are characterized by profound recognition, deep mirroring of strengths and weaknesses, and are meant to trigger significant spiritual growth and healing through challenging experiences, acting as catalysts for personal evolution rather than necessarily being a traditional lifelong romance.
