An “Old Soul” is a young person whose interests, hobbies, and traits surpass the years they have spent on this earth. They crave deep connections and their deepest connection lies with the “old-fashioned.”
Where old souls are the deepest and most passionate type of person, they are usually also the most misunderstood. Here are 11 things that’ll break down the misconceptions of Old Souls.
1. Most of us are introverted because we have to pursue our interests independently.
It’s part of that-thing-that-makes-us-unique.
2. Sometimes we’ll say the same phrases your grandparents use(d).
Really, “groovy” is just another way to say “cool," which makes talking to adults a piece of cake.
3. We’d much rather see a Van Halen cover band then go to the Justin Bieber concert with you.
They also probably believe that most of today’s music is garbage.
4. “Snow White” is just as cool as “Frozen”.
Catch my drift?
5. Texting is probably the WORST way to communicate with us.
Call me on the phone. Better yet, show up at my front door so we can talk in person!
6. "Dad rock” is just “rock” to us.
If I’m no one’s dad, “dad rock” isn’t a thing.
7. At least one of our favorite movies is in black and white.
...and ALL of their favorite movies are from the 20th century.
8. We’re not the best vacation buddy if you’re the type of person who likes to relax.
Don’t get me wrong, I love lying on the beach as much as the next guy, but I’d much rather go explore the local coffee shops or visit historical sites!
9. We hold a very romantic view of relationships and the world.
This is both good and bad because situations either end in a happily-ever-after or a disappointment.
10. If they don’t already own a record player or Polaroid camera, you’d best believe they want one very badly.
Records just sound better and Polaroids just look cooler. Every Old Soul can attest to this.
11. We’re unconventional. Deal with it.
If we were normal, we’d suck.
