- [Amanda] Hey, Psych2Goers.
Hope you're having a good day.
Have you ever been called an old soul?
Do people tell you that you are wise beyond your years?
You may be wondering if they're right.
I mean, what is an old soul?
Well, an old soul is mature, wise, and understanding.
An old soul can often come across as serious at times
because of their maturity
and their thoughtful outlook on life.
So, how do you know if you are an old soul?
Well, here at Psych2Go,
we've made a little quiz for you to take to find out.
Keep track of your answers
and find out if you are an old soul
at the end of this video.
Number one, how often do you like to shop?
A, hardly;
B, a fair amount;
or C, as much as I can.
Number two, what do you relate to most?
A, I don't have many friends,
but I'm really close with the ones I do have;
B, I have a few friends, but I don't know them that well;
or C, I have a lot of acquaintances and many friends,
but I don't know them well.
Number three, how good are you at helping others
or providing advice?
A, I give great advice and love to help others when I can;
B, I try my best to give advice,
but I like comforting more instead;
or C, I'm terrible at advice,
but try to be there for my friends.
Number four.
How often do you eat or learn new things?
A, I love to read and have a thirst for knowledge;
B, I read when I can,
but much prefer getting out and seeing friends;
or C, I don't read much
and love to go out and be around people.
Number five, how do you respond to others
in a serious discussion?
A, I like to observe, listen, think, then react;
B, I listen while thinking of how I can convince them
that I'm right about the topic;
or C, I listen and respond quickly with my opinion.
And finally, number six,
do you feel like an outsider?
A,
yes, all the time;
B, sometimes, but not really;
or C,
no.
So, what do your answers mean?
Mostly Cs.
Did you mostly answer C?
Well, you are most likely not an old soul.
You're pretty opposite from them, actually.
You are more into material things, unlike old souls.
And you love going out
rather than staying in with a good book,
unlike most old souls.
You're very extroverted
and love hanging around people your age.
You're not often hanging out
with people much older than you.
Mostly Bs.
You are not quite an old soul,
but you can be pretty wise at times.
You are not focused on material things,
but you do love to go shopping every now and then.
Who doesn't?
You also don't mind hanging out with people of all ages.
Mostly As.
You are an old soul.
You value deep connections.
So instead of many acquaintances,
you likely have a few close friends
that you have deep connection with.
You're not very interested in material things.
You prefer the intangible things in life.
You love learning new things, expanding your knowledge,
and improving the relationships you have in your life.
You make most of your choices
with your intentions at the forefront of your mind.
When you sit down to create a project
or do work on a task you care about,
you're keeping the end goal in mind.
As an old soul, when you respond to others,
you think before you react.
This is also because you're a very observant person.
Because most of your choices
have strong intentions behind them,
you also don't like to waste time,
and you often spend time alone, too,
to reflect and think.
You don't mind time alone.
And like an introvert,
you often need this time to recharge
from time around people.
This is likely due to the idea
that you're also very empathetic, open-minded,
and can often feel emotionally drained because of this.
You enjoy spending some time alone to recharge, reflect,
contemplate, and daydream:
a few of the common signs of an old soul.
So have you been told that you're wise?
Do your loved ones come to you before others for advice?
Yep, you're pretty good when it comes to giving advice,
and you've been called wise many times before.
Because of your maturity,
you may have a hard time fitting in with others
in your age group,
especially if you are very young.
You get along with older individuals much better
because you can have a deeper conversation with them,
and you love those.
Small talk isn't really your thing.
You also likely felt like an outsider
at one point in your life.
But don't worry,
because there are other old souls out there,
and you'll likely get along just fine with them
because of how much you can relate to each other,
and because you'll probably have
some pretty deep conversations as well.
Who doesn't love a good theorizing session?
