Four Signs that you are an Old Soul
If you have experienced deep insight and enlightenment in yourself or someone you know, then this story is for you.
If you hear someone saying, “Oh, she is an old soul.” It seems strange at first, but consider it as a compliment. The phrase is used to highlight the maturity and deep wisdom in someone too young for such knowledge. It is not possible to peep into someone’s soul to ascertain its age. But there are some signs which signify that you are wise beyond your age.
You seek solitude to be with yourself:
“Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.” -Bell Hooks
You would lose interest in every materialistic thing and create your own light. You do not feel connected with people of your age group because their interests are deeply dissatisfying to you. It has been your lifelong struggle to connect with someone at a deeper level, and there aren’t much people like that around you.
Benefits of being solitude
1. Solitude allows you to reboot your brain and unwind
2. Solitude helps to improve concentration
3. Solitude gives you an opportunity to discover yourself
4. Solitude provides time for you to think deeply
5. Solitude helps you work through problems more effectively
6. Solitude can enhance the quality of your relationships with others
You are spiritually evolved:
You will be enhanced in your material life. You will start to see the reason and purpose behind each and everything. That will lead to detachment from the materialistic mindset.
Blame it on your sensitivity and empathy, but you aren’t excited by the material gains of the world. Instead, you spend a lot of time thinking about your consciousness and seeking enlightenment of the soul.
You face anxiousness:
Because you tend to overthink a lot, and you feel uncomfortable in a social group. Although there isn’t a dearth of confidence in you but societal boundaries, politeness, small talk, egos and etiquettes become too tiring for you. Therefore, you often bear the tag of an eccentric. However, you are also capable of carrying lifelong associations with like-minded people and experience comfort in their company. Your aim has always been to look for a meaningful existence in the journey to find the truth.
Yearning for Simplicity:
No matter how complex you look from outside, but you long for simplicity and modesty deep inside of you. You are drawn towards minimalism because that is the essence of your heart. Therefore, you abhor ostentatiousness in any form.
So, if you think you are an old soul, try to reflect on the positivity in your life, and you shall experience peace and satisfaction in your life.
