I'm 18. And lately the only thing I think about is my future. Getting married with my boyfriend, how my house will be, how I would educate my kids, how will we get the bills. I'm also kinda obsessed with eating healthy. Honestly I don't think it's worrying if I reduce sugars or alcohol to the minimun, but it's not normal that I think everytime that it is because I want to live a lot of years.
What I'm the most worried about is that I'm not allowing myself to be a normal teenager anymore. I'm becaming an adult, but it is still my time for taking risks, doing foolish things, being a fan of music groups, series, etc.
And I'm kinda attached to my routine, even though it's summer and I shouldn't care that much about sleeping late. Tonight I'm going to the fair with my siblings and my friends, and they've said to go at 9pm and I got mad because it was too late.
I think I'm growing some resistance to strong emotions. I am a HSP, so I get overwhelmed more easily, but though it's good to have a safe space, I don't think it's good for me trying to be chill all the time, because that's not real life.
I don't know. At least I'm taking care of my physical health but I don't know if I'm enjoying my youth the way I'm suppossed to. And I know there are some hurtful beliefs on what youth looks like that I'm saving myself from, like the way I'm supposed to sneak out, drink, do vandalism or lose my virginity the sooner the better, but I'm afraid of stopping myself to do the thing I won't be able to do once I achieve my dream of having a family.

i feel like everything i think about leads to the idea of life, creation of the universe, just the entire idea of everything. like ill look at a glass of water and go through a journey about where it came from and then realize it goes through the water cycle constantly and i sorta personify water being like damn, that must be tiring and then i realize water isnt a human, (we have no way to prove that though im just assuming) so like what is it then? the idea of something just not being conscious is hard to comprehend, but why is it hard to comprehend? maybe because were so entitled as human that if something isnt like us we cant understand it. and why are we like that? was it cause we were built in a way that made us physically more powerful than other things so we just scaled up slowly and now we think were all that? was it that we were built this way on purpose by something? i mean everything happens for a reason? (or maybe it doesnt) but why do we think everything has to be made from something? like cant things just be here? at this point i like to believe its just beyond the human mind.

uhh, no, old souls don't feel lonely. isolation doesn't have to convert into loneliness. we simply enjoy being alone and often like our own company better. loneliness is an attitude- not a state of being. you can choose not to be lonely just like you can choose to be happy. as for joining in, sometimes that simply isn't right for us. sometimes we choose not to join in. we don't like to follow the crowd over a cliff. nor do we always want to be in the center of all of the chaos. it is simply easier to observe and to choose what we participate in and what we don't.
btw, the desire for a companion or a best friend, especially after losing a best friend who passed away, is not loneliness. that is a desire for a connection. when two old souls connect, it is a special bond. you can miss that, but not be lonely.

why are you describing me so damn well? Particularly with being marginalized, misunderstood, existential crises, need for space, overwhelming philosophical tendencies (always looking for connections and patterns, and hard to find similar people.
I used to feel lonely but I have separated the emotion of being lonely with the act of being alone. Love doesnt seem impossible, but it will just take more effort to find the right people. I do forgive, but mostly to not hold resentment and animosity. I participate in life, but many life activities are quite superficial. I am finally fully focused on developing myself.
Let me know if these words resonated with you, and lets talk

Oh god ive seen myself in every part of this video and i dont what to say. ive been thinking bout something like this all my life but didnt want to think about like im different built or something else cause it seemed to me selfish, sometimes i just ask myself if it just wouldnt be better for my mental health to be easier in term of thinking: /

This reminds me of the idea of do u [inset whatever here] more than the average person. I never understand how ppl can say yes to this Cos you dont know how deeply the average person thinks. Until you have some sort of data on the topic you cant for certain assume you are above average. I find a lot of ppl want to feel special and unique which is fair enough no one likes to feel common but seriously how do you know for a fact you arent above average if you have no evidence pointing to the contrary

I don't know if I am an old soul or not but I do know that I have one of my existential crises every month or so and technically life does not give us lemons because lemons are bred by human beings, so in a way we create lemons ourselves and life has nothing to do with it due to human intervention. I also never heard of webbed thinking either but as a kid I was always fascinated on how everything is connected to each other even if it doesn't seem like it in the surface.

I've always known I wasn't the only one, but it's comforting to actually see that. Keep your heads up, the rest of the world doesn't like us people who can't be put into a neat little box so they can classify us. Don't try to become like the rest of the sheople, be you, and let them go unfulfilled in pigeon holing you. It's okay to be different, a badge of honor in my book. So keep your head held high, and if life gives you lemons, go find somebody who life gave vodka.

Great video. Thanks for making it. I believe I am an empath & an old soul. I used to feel very lonely & different than most humans. I love animals. What has helped me a lot is that I have animal family members. Dogs & cats. They are easier to understand than humans. They give so much unconditional love. Because of them I rarely feel lonely now.

From a young age I have been called an 'Old Soul' by others. I do get misunderstood quite a bit. Its a pain having to re-phrase shit I just said. I do not enjoy large gatherings/crowds and avoid them like the plague. Never been Ms. Popular, but I prefer that over dealing with folks. Just a handful of friends is cool with me. Interesting video.

It's so frustrating to be an old soul who is around people a bit younger than me. I'm empathetic. I know how to talk to people (most of the time. I'm the mom friend. While all of these are true, I also really value my alone time. I have all of these deep thoughts that nobody else understands. It really can be hard

I never thought of myself as an old soul, because as an old person, I feel young, at heart. My partner is 30 yrs my junior, and he pursued me. People my own age consider me too young for them, yet every one of the featured 'difficulties', can practically be considered among my defining aspects. Trippy!

If one is an old soul would kinda think that you can handle with expertise almost any situation to everyone's benefit and guide them in how you did it. Coming from what I believe to be true in my existence and age. Just my humbilific opinion. Maybe new word I drafted humbilific eh all is well.

Number 10, a low participation in life. The world is basically a cult. Every organization is just a slightly different cult. We don't want to participate in the cult! If the world changes, we will join you. If not, we will go our own way. We won't join your cults.

Im the opposite of #9. People who make mistakes and fix them will get my forgiveness but those who dont? What good is it to forgive? I could just well enough leave them and move on. I aint hating them forever but why would I want anything to do with you?

If you are an old soul. its important to learn to meditate and reconnect with your highest self and All that is. so that you remain grounded and centred. you will also get insights from higher sources regarding any questions or guidance you may need

Old souls can enjoy their own company because they have faced and made peace with their inner-demons and deep doubts. Some of my friend are even scared to be alone because they start to think creepe and wierd stuff.

I need lots of solitude and personal space to maintain my sanity. I have anxiety disorder and I have been through multiple traumas in life. I feel misunderstood always and no one ever gets me correctly.

Every point, except forgiveness, which has been odd. difficult for others and self also.
Also wonder about the purpose of life for old souls- with so much disconnect! Any idea?
