Have you ever felt like you don't fit in with people in your age group?
Has anyone told you that you're mature for your age?
Then those are the possibilities that you're an old soul.
Here are 16 indications you're an old soul, trapped in a young body:
1. You have a strong appreciation for older music and movies
You like the idea of learning about older movies and music. You sometimes feel like they have more meaningful messages than newer films and music.
2. You struggled to relate to people in your age group
Since you're mature for your age, it's hard to relate to people your age because they tend to be more immature. Most younger people do not understand significant life things as well as you do because you're more open-minded and willing to learn.
3. You're more of a listener than a talker
Talking tends to be difficult for you because you fear that nobody will understand your deep thoughts. You're more of a listener because you believe it's good manners and you want people to know that you're here.
4. You aren't a materialist
My dad told me the other day, even at 5 years old, I really did not want anything for Christmas.My response was that there are more meaningful things than just presents. The best gifts are having great parents, wonderful friends, and the opportunity for education.
5. You detest negativity
You don't appreciate people who bring down others because negativity does not get anyone anywhere. Instead of wallowing in negativity, you try to see the silver lining in everything since it allows you to be able to see the beauty in everything.
6. You understand significant life lessons
You value life lessons because you know that learning from them will allow you to succeed.
7. People struggled to understand you
Since you're different than your peers, they have a difficult time understanding you because you're not normal. Normal does not even exist in your world. Instead, you're your own person and you don't worry about what others think.
8. You're comfortable with alone time
There is a difference between being alone and loneliness. It is possible to be alone and be happy with it. It is also possible being surrounded by people and being lonely. Even though you enjoy being with your family and friends, you sometimes need some space because it makes it easier for you to unwind and relax your mind and body more.
9. You tend to have a difficult time fitting in
It's more difficult for you to fit in because you're different from everyone in your age group.
10. You have a mature mind, but you're still far from being in the middle of your life
Old souls are considered to be wiser and more mature for their age. You tend to get annoyed when someone acts and talks like a child and it's too much for your mature mind to handle.
11. You sometimes feel underestimated
You tend to keep your thoughts to yourself because you feel like your peers will not understand what you're thinking, which sometimes makes them underestimate you. You tend to be underestimated because of your youthful looks and tender age.
12. You appreciate deep connections
You value relationships, friendships, and opportunities, especially having deep connections. You're all about quality over quantity.
13. You desire authenticity
You appreciate older things and real things. For example, you choose physical books over Kindles. You want something real in relationships and freindships because genuine connections are important to you.
14. You're not superficial
You never understood why looks are important to everyone because you believe there are other traits that are more appealing and you crave emotional fulfillment. Looks do not guarantee anything because your personality matters more than your looks.
15. You don't settle for less
You're not interested in settling because you believe in passion and there is nothing passionate about settling. You believe that settling will hold you back from pursuing the opportunities you want to watch. You don't allow anyone to walk all over you, you refuse to work a job you hate, and you know your worth.
