Old soul

[typx]

Was anyone else here called an old soul when they were a kid? I was called it a few times.. supposedly I hadn't wisdom beyond my years.
Looking back I think it had more to do with me being a kid who didn't know how to be a kid.

Yeah constantly. I had a lot less happiness and vitality than any other person at my age, everybody used to say I was a premature old man and related things

 

[Deleted_9cKnXB34QG]

Yes, I was a very calm, mature kid. I've always felt older than I actually was and couldn't really connect with people my age. I liked talking with grown ups tho.

When I was 17 my best friend was a retired man in his 60's so yeah.

Most definitely. I've always been so tired of life. For as far back as I can remember. I may have had the vitality & energy of a child to some extent when I was younger, but that existential sense of fatigue & jadedness has been with me literally ever since kindergarten. During recess, I wouldn't run or play like the other kids. No, I'd just lean against a wall in some dark corner and hope no one would notice my near non-existent presence, and bother me with any of their childish nonsense. I was a world weary, grumpy, exhausted old man trapped in a kid's body. All I ever wanted was to hide myself away & wait for the end to come, like a decrepit codger on his deathbed. To this day, nothing has changed in that regard, other than getting ever so closer to becoming, physically speaking, the grumpy old man I was born to be. If there is such a thing as past lives, well, it would certainly explain a lot, frankly. Clearly there must've been a mix-up in the cosmic ordering system. Funny to think that the next plane of existence is mired in inefficient bureaucracy. Enough to make even Franz Kafka himself either laugh uncontrollably or sob like a madman, probably both.

Yeah, it's like some are just born already worn out and cynical. You're burnt out before life even gets going. What causes it? I've always thought it's a certain type of person combining with negligent parenting.

Some ppl would say it is bc you have been reincarnated so many times...your too old for those younger years.

I don't believe in this but just saying....

 

[StarDust]

But honestly, I have had ppl tell me that since I was a wee bairn. And I feel that way...far to old to be here that is for sure.

It's like guessing ages on this site. Most people think I'm old.

True... I should of known better then to guess a females age still ha

 

[Dani Paradox]

I was born an old soul. Even in my earliest of years, all of my questions involved God and the meaning of existence. I always shunned religion and thought it was a bunch of crap. I strived to discover the Truth. Truth. Truth truth truth. I questioned everything. People always said I was mature for my age. 7 going on 35.

 

[Justanotherconsumer]

Exhaustion of the soul, you never know maybe there is reincarnation.

 

[Morning Angel]

I've been internally 45 for a long time.

(Not 45 though)

 

[Donewith_]

yeah.. I used to get called that way many times.
My cousins who are a decade older than me.. used to say so .. and that I act like a grandma.
I was introverted. I still remember , as a kid.. i used to not ask any questions or anything while my brother who is a year older than me used to shower my mother with questions. Later.. i thought that i was kinda retarded.
