Old Souls Have A Hard Time Finding Love — And Here's Why

Rather obviously, am old soul is not driven  by passion as a moth to the flame.  That is worth meditating upon and discovering emotional control or perhaps emotional distraction.  This is something that begs effective explanation and a proper language as well.

The human animal experiences all this without it actually passing through the frontal cortex except perhaps as a log.  In fact it appears that the vagus nerve system has the most to do with all this.  Thus we have built in flight reactions and their sexual analogues.  All happening while the frontal cortex is asking 'who asked you'.

Yet the old soul is nothing if not supremely cognitive.  All that is evident in this item.

Old Souls Have A Hard Time Finding Love — And Here's Why

Old souls: Do not be too quick to judge the character and temperament of someone if you have not taken the time to establish what age their soul is. 

The beauty of human existence is in understanding that the age of a person has so much at stake other than the day they were born.

1. They have a strong sense of identity

They know who they are, which means they also know – specifically – what they do and do not want in a partner, what works and what doesn’t.

While this is fantastic in terms of being able to choose wisely, it ultimately diminishes their pool of prospects pretty significantly.

2. Left unchecked, their hyper-intuitiveness can wreck relationships

Often prone to overthinking because of how deeply sensitive they are, their capacity to worry and make assumptions can break relationships that don’t have a perfectly strong foundation.

3. Many are in the throes of twin flame relationships

They’re attached or are with people who are not their “forever” people, rather, intense connections they’re meant to learn, and rapidly expand, from.

4. They often have a greater purpose that must be attended to first – one that love would distract them from

They usually have to accomplish quite a bit on their own before they find love – this is because old souls love deeply, and completely. 

To be given love too soon would keep them from the other important things they are here to do.

5. They will not settle for anything less than soulmate love

They require a lot more than just a surface-level, “average” relationship. They absolutely will not settle, and sometimes, that means biting the bullet and being alone for longer than what’s “average” as well.

6. While many people can bring them passion, few can bring compatibility

Because they feel so deeply and others find them so fascinating, it’s easy for them to find infatuation, but to be with someone who is truly their best friend, deepest confidant *and* lover is a challenge.

7. They’re less inclined to go out and meet people in modern ways

Even if they have nothing against online dating, it doesn’t always come naturally for them, nor does finding a random hookup at a bar or being set up blindly seem appealing.

8. They’re natural healers, and often attract people who need help, not love

And that attraction is reciprocated. There’s almost nothing that feels better to an old soul than being able to help someone who truly needs it. 

However, at some point in time, it’s crucial for them to realize that they have to choose a partner, not a student, or a charity case.

9. They dislike the “game”

Dating is inherently exhausting to an older-spirited person.

Feigning disinterest for the sake of looking “cool” or knowing which faux pas other people find off-putting (how long after the first date do you text again?) isn’t instinctive to them, and can stress them out more than they ever find it “fun.”

10. Their standards are sky-high

They expect a lot from themselves, so likewise, they expect a lot from their partners.

While this is a great thing, it’s another quality that has to be kept in check: it’s more important to be able to accept the qualities that aren’t deal-breakers than it is to just write a person off because they’re imperfect.

11. They have baggage

People who developed their inner selves quickly did so for a reason: they had to cope, they had to grow, or they had to learn from some challenging experiences that life set up for them. 

While this is a great thing on its own, unresolved issues can often re-manifest in close relationships.

12. They feel fear as intensely as they feel love

The degree to which they love something is proportionate to how much they fear losing it, or not being “good enough” for it. 

They don’t just love intensely, they feel everything else intensely, too, and sometimes, that gets in the way of the really good things in front of them.
