For some time now, it has been playing in my head. Am I an old soul? So I took this test at playbuzz.com and the results seem to be true.
You’re what we call an ancient soul… too old to even be defined as- well, old! Ancient souls were born hundreds of thousands of years ago, and have seen hundred of centuries and millenniums pass by! Your soul is extremely unique and rare to find these days, as rapid advances in technology have forced a lot of people to “move on”. But you still cling in the past- the VERY past- and you’re content and accepting of who you are. You are so mature and wise beyond your years that it is indescribable! Being an ancient soul may make you feel very weary, and it may even feel difficult at times, but don’t forget… ancient souls form very special and rewarding relationships with other people. It is a bond that is so true, so faithful, and so giving beyond any other soul could imagine… So next time you talk to a close friend, just think about how lucky they are to have met a special soul like you!
I am an old soul.
Maybe so. There was a question there if you enjoy being alone. I do. Being alone does not necessarily mean that you are lonely. Being alone gives you that “me” times that other people don’t seem to find in this crazy world. Being alone, doing what you want to do, enjoying your own company and thinking sometimes of those days long ago.
Mature? Yes, At my age, that goes with the territory. I think I am that kind who think not just twice but several times the repercussions of what I do in life. There are people who have aged biologically but are still immature in their decisions and the way they act. There are people who like to stay that way – happy-go-lucky, carefree. Life sometimes gets to us in a way we never expect. Life sometimes is just that, hard. Who says it is easy?
Unique? I’d like to think so but each one of us is unique in this world. Maybe the difference lies in one’s attitude and how one does things. Or maybe attitude spells the difference.
Wise? That I agree. We acquire wisdom with age. We tend to be more realistic about things as we grow older. Sometimes, we don’t only accept but we question too. what is wisdom? It is the soundness of our actions and decisions. It is common sense, good judgment.
I am an old soul. Are you?
I am always touched by this quote from Langston Hughes:
Langston Hughes is one of my all-time favorite poets (along with TS Elliot) – – Since high school my fav of his has been: “What happens to a dream deferred?” – Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? / Or fester like a sore – And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? or crust & sugar over – like a syrupy sweet? / Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. … OR DOES IT EXPLODE?

Like Derrick, I always like to see the difference between alone and lonely being mentioned. The two are nothing like each other. Nobody wants to feel lonely, yet many of us, myself included, enjoy being alone.
Best wishes, Pete.

Some equate the two being one and the same Pete but there lies a big difference.

I must be a young soul. I do not consider myself full of wisdom. I have lots of love to give, but people usually do the opposite of what I advise. My batting average isn’t very good, so I avoid giving advice unless pressed for it. I’m glad to know you are an old soul, Arlene. Happy old souling!

I love all these quizzes, though they are rarely accurate about me. One said I was in my 20’s! I guess by default I am an old soul. But I like the wisdom that I have gained through living.

I love this! I always wonder if I am old soul. I know I believe in reincarnation, but I just would not categorize myself as an “old soul”.
