Old Soul

I got 94%.

One of my earliest memories is being told as a child by an elder relative that I was an old soul.  

I found this interesting from the article: "Self-worth can be a difficult thing for old-souls to achieve as they do not look to other people to validate their character, neither do they seek ego-boosting compliments or endorsements. They question their identity and scrutinize their core traits. It can take them a long time to feel comfortable in their own skin, though that is mainly due to the fact that they are unlike those around them. When they do find self-acceptance they are thick-skinned and resilient souls and nothing and no-one will sway or break them."

That's definitely been my challenge/struggle in this life and I guess because I haven't been comfortable in my own skin I thought I was just a baby soul.  lol  But I am always questioning my identity and my core traits - even as I am doing something I am questioning why I am - what is my agenda, what is the point, why can't I stop (if it's something "negative" like being jealous), etc.  I often joke it can be exhausting.  

This part made me laugh, too because I know I elicit many eye-rolls from others and I have always heard that either people love me or they just don't "get" me AT ALL.  "Old souls are often misunderstood, misinterpreted and misplaced in society as they have unorthodox characters which can seem eccentric, perplexing and bewildering to most."  I am thankful for those who do get me (my husband does, bless him). 

I could relate to much of the other points of the article as well, but figured I was just introverted.  Who knows.  ?  Fascinating to think about anyway.
