#3. You make decisions that only you understand.
First, we have to define what an old soul is.
Old soul is a term that comes from Taoism. It applies to people who have already lived several lives and, therefore, have an advantage over people who haven’t played the game of life so many times.
For me, on the contrary, it has more to do with roots.
There are people whose ancestors had such intense and marked life experiences that it is as if, like genes, part of that wisdom is transmitted from one generation to another.
And that is why when someone is told, “How wise you are with how young you are,” it is probably because, in his family line, a grandfather passed on his wisdom and the wisdom that he collected from his ancestors.
The point is that when you are an old soul or, to put it in a less Hippie-Dippie way, a person too mature for your age, you are often labeled as intense, of seeing dangers where there are none, of prejudging people, of taking things out of context.
And it’s not true.
What happens is that the wisdom you treasure inside you makes you perceive things that people without that intuition can’t even imagine.
Here are three signs that so-called “old souls” share so that when people tell you you are too dramatic or accuse you of always putting yourself in the worst possible scenario, you will know that you are not too intense but an old soul.
1. You are an emotional seismograph
It is not usually because of personal animosity (as you are often accused of) when you feel antipathy towards a particular subject. You know how to dissociate yourself, disengage, and look with perspective and objectivity at the issues that concern reality.
When you feel antipathy or affinity for some circumstance, issue, or person, it is because your body acts as an emotional seismograph that measures the vibrations that what you observe emits.
If something makes you react, it is likely because your social environment is tense about it.
It also happens to you with all kinds of feelings, such as loneliness or euphoria. You are like a thermometer that measures the ambient temperature of your personal and work circle and environment.
That’s why you can’t be fooled, and you know perfectly well when someone is having a wrong time, no matter how much they smile at you. You can understand how someone is feeling just by reading their WhatsApp. That’s all you need.
You know that even the way they write changes according to their mood.
And, of course, they tell you that you’re intense, but they do it because they know you’re always right in your predictions 🙂
2. You have a back door in your system.
A hidden access that allows you to connect with the collective unconscious.
It is like a pipe that descends from your heart to the plane where everything is unified, allowing you to connect with everyone else’s dreams, desires, and fears.
That door links you to ancient wisdom, and that link acts as an umbilical cord between you and Mother Universe.
That is why you have intuition, or what many call a hyper-developed sixth sense. When something doesn’t look good to you, that instinct that connects the collective unconscious with your conscious through the back door of your system is alerting you of a possible danger.
You are probably accused of being an alarmist, of making mountains out of molehills. But you notice the little things, and you can determine what foot each person is limping on just by observing how they behave with the servers, in line at the supermarket, or when they are waiting for the elevator and see someone coming through the doorway.
Your back door simplifies things, and you know that although there are 8 billion souls in this world, they all fit into a limited number of archetypes that share several common characteristics.
That’s why it’s tough to fool yourself. You know how to recognize the patterns of people (of those archetypes).
3. You make decisions that only you understand
Some people consider you a radical because you have a lot of patience, but your opinions are immovable when you decide on something or someone.
You trust your sixth sense, and you know that it rarely fails. That’s why you make decisions that, for many people, seem wrong and make you seem too impulsive or dramatic.
But unlike others, you don’t have to wait to see the movie’s end to discover the plot.
You already know the outcome of many things long before they happen.
And you don’t explain your motives anymore because they would make you look hyper-impulsive and even not very rational.
But you know that everything you sense, sooner or later, comes true. And if you know something will go wrong, you don’t wait for the whole situation to blow up in your face so that you can say “I told you so” to others.
People think you’re too reckless, but you secretly know it’s a mix of wisdom, instinct, and experience.
