Old soul ctb

[divinemistress36]

I apologize if this isn't appropiate here but It seems like there are a lot of old souls on here and it makes sense why they feel like they want to ctb.

Yeah, I'm not even twenty yet but I already feel like I've lived a lifetime of stress and mistakes. I guess that depression and being suicidal makes you feel like you've lived much longer than you already have.

not sure this will even make any sense, but I swear I feel like I was born in the wrong every freakin thing.. im 54 yrs old and was heavily influenced by my dad. My mom was, well in no other way to say, a cold, and heartless bitch, woman. But I inherited my dads love of dogs, his kindness and love of Laurel and Hardy films that I've collected all of in mp4. I wish idve been born around the same time as he was, cuz the time we are in currently feels strange, like I don't belong here, that no one, not my family friends or anyone understands it, and id def call myself an "old soul' tho maybe im thinking of a diff definition of the term being used.. but something is not right, I don't belong here, in this time or in this life, or in this body
Idk..
I cant explain it..
One old soul to another, regardless of definition, I think I understand
Think I get it.

You scared me half to death @divinemistress36, I thought this was your goodbye thread or something.

I'm always scared to put myself in a category that "elevates" me above others but I will say it's been weird how little people in my life seem to care about the "deeper questions". I met a lady recently who was 44 who told me she'd never once pondered the meaning of life. That seemed absolutely nuts to me.

I dont have the balls yet I ponder this question everyday. It seems like everyone is focused on materalistic world and it makes no sense to me

I feel like I'm almost too new a soul, I was very immature for longer than other people and I feel as though that messed up my life path. As if I was someone who chose a life too difficult for themselves. If we are souls who choose our lives ahead of time.

I dont feel like an old soul or a new soul but in between . I feel my immature soul took on more than it could handle

I feel the absolute same. While some of the words in the blurb about old souls have been used by others to describe me, I wouldn't wanna say them about myself. But I do feel different from those around me. I always have been. I think sticking out from the norm, whether it is because you're plenty above or below average in some trait, is going to make you lonelier. Stick out in enough ways and you'll feel less tethered to the mortal world in no time.

Old souls, assume reincarnation, they have lived many times. The idea of reincarnation has some logical problems, but given it is true, why should an old soul be suicidal? An old soul should be used to this world and fit perfectly in it.

Good point

You forget that after each incarnation cycle, all memory is erased and hypothetically remains stored somewhere, like a premonition but operationally completely unusable. In this sense, there is no question of any "habit of existence" in this form, on the contrary, it is possible that the burden of premonitions of previous lives may be additional an aggravating circumstance of existence.

I'm 100% against reincarnation or the concept of a Higher Self, even if it might be true. It honestly reduces us as the human self to just a marionette that will be absorbed into a bigger, alien-being at the end of it and that all our struggles were just for that beings desire.

Also a lot of spiritual ideas don't make sense to me. We are supposed to learn lessons? Why do lessons matter?
What is the end goal of it? And if God is real and perfect (as people describe in near death experiences) he could literally just give you every experience, knowledge and whatever needed instantly through his omnipotence without the need to reincarnate over and over again. The lessons stuff just seems like a convenient excuse for abuse.

Ya it makes no sense. I guess some of us just look into it as a way to cope

If you were to look up the oxymoron of "old soul" my name would pop up.

yeah i can see this- i am still very young but i am seen as more mature than others my age. i guess the more mentally ill you are the more insight you get and experiences that others dont and it makes me self aware od of concepts people didnt even know existed because of my experiences, yet those same experiences make me want to die.

I do feel like an old sould. When Is was a child I chose to hang out with the elderly. I could relate to them more than kids my own age.
I also feel that I don't belong here. It was a mistake & everything about this life is alien to me.
Capitalism etc isn't my thing & chasing the Almighty dollar is sick in my opinion.
But I'll do my time here. Fortunately I'm an older person, so I will die of old age sooner rather than later. That is, unless I CTB, which I have felt that one day I will do.
