How old is your soul?

Middle-aged Soul

Not too young, not too old, you are just right. By now, you have overcome the faults that come with being young and are looking forward to the enlightenment that comes with age. You have the ability to understand people around you and see things from many perspectives. This means you often are the person that people can go to for comforting. However, people with souls like yours are prone to becoming callused. You have seen that life can be difficult, but it is important not to let hardships make you bitter. Remember to appreciate the things that you do have, and not to dwell on the things you want.
 
Old Soul

You have all the tolerance and wisdom that takes many years beyond your lifetime to attain. You have an old soul because in your years, you have endured much, and have learned from all of the obstacles in your path. However, you realize that there are others who suffer more, so you rarely take anything or anyone for granted. You know family is most important, and your friends, though perhaps few, are as close and trustworthy as your family.You have overcome many of the faults that your soul can be burdened with--but that's not to say there's not still more growing you can do, and you know that.

i know it said my soul is middle aged, but i know thats wrong. the reason why i know its wrong is because i can feel the bones of my soul aching and creaking. i have to be very careful with my soul because if its skin gets broken it takes a long time to heal. and sometimes its attention wanders, and its memory isnt what it used to be. also my soul comes out with random but pertinent insights that are ridiculously insightful. im not going to share any of those insights right here, but this is just to say how i know i have an elder soul. i doubt any of you have those same things going on in your souls as i do in mine. im pretty sure i have the most mature soul of any of us, kids.
 
Ancient Soul

You have probably been around since the dawn of time. You have wisdom that surpasses the ocean in depth and tolerance that takes more than just years to achieve. While you have learned from the obstacles in your path, the obstacles in your path have also learned from you. You realize that there are others who suffer more, so you rarely take anything or anyone for granted. You know family is most important, and your friends, though perhaps few, are as close and trustworthy as your family. Even so your age is in line with that of the stars themselves and because of this, few will ever know the wonders you have seen. You have overcome many, many faults that your soul has been burdened with--but you know there will always be more. Time stands in awe of your foundation and even it is not sure if you or it were here first. The mountains look to you as their ancestry.

:D

It's just a silly 7 question test. It's too simple to be of any value anyway.

Having an old soul doesn't necessarily mean you are mature. In my case, I remember being 8 years old and relating more to people that were my parents age more than I did kids my age. When I was 30 I felt more like I was 80...but with my mind still intact. :)


From: http://lonerwolf.com/9-signs-youre-an-old-soul/

There is a special kind of person in our world who finds himself alone and isolated, almost since birth.

His solitary existence isn’t from a preference or an antisocial temperament – he is simply old. Old in heart, old in mind and old in soul, this person is an old soul who finds his outlook on life vastly different and more matured than those around him. As a result, the old soul lives his life internally, walking his own solitary path while the rest around him flock to follow another. Perhaps you’ve experienced this in your own life, or have witnessed it in another person? If so, this article is dedicated to you, in hopes that you will come to define yourself, or understand another better.

The “Old Soul”
Robert Frost, Eckhart Tolle and even Nick Jonas have been called them. Perhaps even you have? I did. Like many of them, this self discovery was made upon meeting Sol, who told me about his childhood as a precocious, intelligent boy who would befriend the teachers instead of the students, just because they were too different from him. As he related his inability to find interest in and connection to the people his age, I discovered that I felt the same, and still do.

If you have not yet discovered whether you’re an old soul, read some of the revealing signs below.

9 Signs You’re An Old Soul

1# You tend to be a solitary loner.
Because old souls are disinterested in the pursuits and interests of the people in their age groups, they find it dissatisfying to make friends with people they find it hard to relate to. The result is … old souls tend to find themselves alone a lot of the time. People just don’t cut it for them.

2# You love knowledge, wisdom and truth.
This seems a little grandiose and overly noble, but the old soul finds himself naturally gravitating towards the intellectual side of life. Old souls inherently understand that knowledge is power, wisdom is happiness and truth is freedom, so why not seek after those things? These pursuits are more meaningful to them than reading up on the latest gossip about Snooki’s latest boyfriend, or the latest football scores.

3# You’re spiritually inclined.
More emotional old souls tend to have sensitive and spiritual natures. Overcoming the confines of the ego, seeking enlightenment and fostering love and peace are the main pursuits of these young-in-body Mother Teresa’s. To them it seems the wisest, most fulfilling use of time.

4# You understand the transience of life.
Old souls are frequently plagued with reminders of not only their own mortality, but that of everything and everyone around them. This makes the old soul wary and at times withdrawn, but wisely dictates the way they live their lives.

5# You’re thoughtful and introspective.
Old souls tend to think a lot … about everything. Their ability to reflect and learn from their actions and those of others is their greatest teacher in life. One reason why old souls feel so old at heart is because they have learnt so many lessons through their own thought processes, and possess so much insight into life situations from their ability to quietly and carefully observe what if going on around them.

6# You see the bigger picture. 9 Signs Youre An Old Soul
Rarely do old souls get lost in the superficial details of getting useless degrees, job promotions (crazy talk. promotions = money. I love money.) , boob jobs and bigger TV’s. Old souls have the tendency to look at life from a birds eye view, seeing what is the most wise and meaningful way to approach life. When confronted with issues, old souls tend to see them as temporary and passing pains that merely serve to increase the amount of joy felt in the future. Consequently, old souls tend to have placid, stable natures as a result of their approach to life.

7# You aren’t materialistic.
Wealth, status, fame, and the latest version of iPhone … they just bore old souls. The old soul doesn’t see the purpose of pursuing things that can be easily taken away from them. Additionally, old souls have little time and interest for the short-lived things in life, as they bring little meaning or long lasting fulfillment for them.

8# You were a strange, socially maladaptive kid.
This is not always the case, but many old souls exhibit odd signs of maturity at young ages. Often, these children are labelled as being “precocious”, “introverted”, or “rebellious“, failing to fit into the mainstream behaviors. Usually, these children are extremely inquisitive and intelligent, seeing the purposelessness of many things their teachers, parents and peers say and so, and either passively or aggressively resisting them. If you can talk to your child like he/she’s an adult – you’ve probably got an old soul on your hands.

9# You just “feel” old.
Before putting a name to what I felt, I experienced certain sensations of simply being an “old person” inside. The feelings that accompany being an old soul are usually: a feeling of world wariness, mental tiredness, watchful patience, and detached calmness. Unfortunately, this can often be perceived as being aloof and cold, which is only one of many Old Soul Myths.

may i please offer my apologies for the passive aggressive element of my fooling around here. i found the test fun and i think these kinds of things are fun to think about. i have also previously been a victim of people who take this kind of thing a bit too seriously. i mean no harm by my foolishness and i hope no one ever takes ME too seriously. :wink:

actually i really liked the article you posted. it was good. but i find it difficult to relate to because my soul is more kind of like ageless or immortal. so just forget about all that other stuff i said about age.
 
Old soul or not, I personally am getting very very tired. I dislike the idea and possibility I may be back for another go around here.

It might not be here specifically. Just somewhere where a thing can only be described relative to another thing.
