An old soul seeks a partner who celebrates and encourages mutual authenticity. They don't want to have to hide, pretend or change who they are in any way. They are at peace with who they are, and they want a partner who is willing to embrace them.
Old souls have no choice but to recognize each other once they meet. The force of destiny is so strong, that it can't be ignored. They may not know why or how, but it just feels right at first glance. This is because one soul can connect to its higher self and pray for the other person's highest good.
When old souls meet, one of the first things they experience is a powerful physical attraction for each other. They have this intense, spiritual feeling of connection to their partner from the first moment they see them. This makes both of them feel like they've been looking for each other their entire lives.
As old souls, we know that real love can only be shown through shared experiences, effort, and dedication. An old soul isn't interested in an “I like you” relationship. They are searching for love, and they won't settle for anything less.
When you feel a soul tie, it's simply the sense that another soul is in your life for a reason. For example, if your life is very busy yet you meet a new potential friend or potential business partner, the sense that you have a soul tie to this person could inspire you to make room in your life for the relationship.
They are romantic.
Old souls have a flair for fun, for passion and adventure, that they'll reveal to those they love.
You can be seen as a loner.
Old souls are after long-lasting, impactful, meaningful relationships in all aspects of life. They'd rather have a few close friends than dozens of acquaintances they hardly know but this can give the impression they're some sort of social outcast.
Old souls are often unique, or “in the spotlight.” Therefore, they are frequently outcasted or at least picked on. People who are less inclined to be conditioned by society and more expressive of who they really are naturally make themselves more vulnerable to judgement and hate.
You trust your partner absolutely and never worry that your partner will do something to hurt you. You are so in tune with each other that you never struggle to express how you feel with each other. You know that your partner understands you when you say it and even when you don't say it.
Are old souls loyal? They are fiercely loyal. Loyalty comes easily to old souls because they've learned that it's loyalty that is the foundation of strong and healthy relationships. They know without it, the other important facets of a relationship (love, trust, stability, etc.)
You're Drawn To Each Other
Soulmates (or people you've had past lives with) can come into your current life in all different forms. A past life soulmate doesn't have to be a romantic partner — they can be friends, colleagues, or family members.
We look for more meaningful and rewarding relationships
As we mature we become a lot more self-reliant, self-assured, and self-loving and less likely to need a relationship in our lives to feel stable or validated. We want more than just companionship in our relationship; we look for it to be rewarding and meaningful.
Research finds that 40-50 percent of people have reunited with an ex to start a new relationship. On-again relationships tend to suffer lower relationship quality and worse functioning than never-broken relationships. People often resume relationships with ex-partners because of lingering feelings.
Whether you're 35 or 75, it's never too late to fall madly (or gently and even sacredly) in love. Just ask actress Ellen Burstyn and a host of other women who found themselves in the heat of romance when they least expected it. My mother met the love of her life when she was 84.
In the search for truth, deeper understanding and inner exploration of yourself and the world around you, it is common for the Old Soul to experience a lot of mental fatigue. Double this with acting as a mediator between people and their problems, and you'll end up exhausted at the end of the day.
What is an 'old soul'? They are deep thinkers, introverts, possibly you. The most difficult feeling of living as an old soul is being misunderstood. Of feeling different to a point that you might want to retreat just a little more every day.
Unfortunately, this may have a hard time holding on to friendships, as people will misunderstand or refuse to understand where they're coming from and push them away for daring to disagree with them. What can be done: Friendships between new and Old Souls can often be rough because of how differently they think.
"When we talk about 'old souls' in the realm of psychology, we are often referring to those individuals who seem to have inherent wisdom and a grounded sense of being in the world—often far more than would be expected for someone their age," sayss clinical psychologist Carla Marie Manly, PhD.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF SOUL TIES
There are four kinds of souls ties: marriage, business, sex and friendship. Some ties have affected people negatively.
You can have more than one soulmate.
"You will meet many soulmates in your current lifetime," says Brown. "You only have one twin flame." Whenever you meet someone with whom you have a strong connection, the theory suggests that there's a high chance that they could be a part of your wider soul family.
