Do you consider yourself an "old soul"? If so, what makes you think so?

Question

Definitely, and it’s almost certainly a result of growing up without access to a lot of children my own age. I was under socialized before i started skool, and never really felt like i fit in. I was always more comfortable participating in adult conversations than children’s. My parents saw to it that i was independent from a very early age. I was cooking and cleaning for myself as soon as i could be taught, and i was very teachable fairly young. My mother had a daycare with too many kids for her to manage singlehandedly. So i was expected to help raise young children before i had fuzz on my own nuts. To this day, i am still a bit focused on propriety, responsibility and productivity, almost to a fault.
I definitely feel like i would have been more comfortable in a bygone era of US culture and society.

No but there are some things that have occurred and certain aspects of the outlook therein that points in the general direction of this. Perhaps I'm a jaded old soul. That makes sense. Jaded, bitter to my core! 😂

I certainly believe in reincarnation but I do not believe I am an "old soul" since I also believe we are all eternal, tho I certainly don't claim to understand how it all works, it's just what I believe, but if we're eternal than how can one soul be older than another? And to go further down the rabbit hole are our souls that individual when we are not in these physical bodies? Like I believe, for example, it could be 4 or 5 people in this lifetime that were the entity known as George Washington last time. It's all the energy. But what do I know? 🤷‍♀️

Yes. Ever since I was 12 i never partied, always prefered to hang out with older people. Never drank alcohol/smoked when literaly everyone else in my class and school did. Also when a boy would like me as a kid and I liked him back i wouldn't pursue anything and evan say the liklyhood we end up are too low due to our age.

People who know me also say i have an old soul.

My first clue is that, according to my driver's license, I am 70 years old.

DishLady · Answer

Yeah, I think I am in some ways, but in other ways I'm modern and like where I am.

Amy_Mi · Answer

Yes, being an “old soul” is about perspective, depth, and emotional intelligence, not age.

It shows in how you value authenticity over pretense, observe patterns instead of reacting, and prioritize meaningful connection over superficial interaction.

An old soul senses energy, reads beyond words, and navigates life with awareness and presence.

dragoblack · Answer

Old enough to feel comfortable carrying and wielding a sword, wanting proving one's own skill as means of being hired for a job, thinking the standards of dating should be simplistic, noting modern society is just an illusionary version of feudalism with the rich behaving exactly like corrupt and pompous nobles while overtaxing & extorting the working class (only difference is the convenience of goods for peasants), and just getting to know eachother & having an enjoyable time before jumping into a relationship; but modern enough to have respect & empathy for others, as morals, while knowing modern dating economy standards requires both to put in equal effort to make a living and living together, which includes helping with chores regardless of how tired from work. "Stay-at-home Housewives/househusbands and the other as a provider" dynamic, is an unrealistic standard for modern working class society.

Xawyx-2 · Answer

Yes I do, because I can relate to some old civilizations, for example, I see the ancient ruins, and I feel some kind of connection (but not everywhere, just on some places).

Human mind is a form of energy, and we all know that energy never disappears, it only changes the form.

I have old morales, I drive old cars and work on them, I get along better with people 40 and older, I listen to music from before the 90s, my dream is to buy property and build a log cabin from the trees on the property

Joshydavid25 · Answer

Not really.. I'm more of a mix really.. I like some old stuff, but I like enough modern things to balance it out..

DryGermanGuy · Answer

Yeah. Aging and the accumulation of all sorts of life experiences does that.

CupcakeTheDestroyer · Answer

Anyone who believes that’s what they are is actually just someone who felt forced to grow up quicker and leave childhood behind

NobodyXox · Answer

Definitely not. I'm very progressive in my way of thinking and I don't tend to listen to music, tv shows or music that are more than 10 years old.
