An essay about "old souls" translated from German into English - IMHO EVERY point is very compatible with me

career and civil life

You have an aversion to all kinds of mainstreams (Matrix, the system)

You are creative and enjoy creating something, a start-up type.

You have difficulty with systems that you view as ineffective, such as the political, educational, health, military, and legal systems.

You quickly become angry when you feel like you are being deprived of your rights. You then vacillate between fear and anger about Big Brother watching you.

You are angry with politics or have turned away from it in disgust because you think your vote has no weight and election results don't change anything anyway.

You have the desire to change and improve the world, but you can also be blocked in your actions. Many have identity crises!

You are frustrated with middle-class life with its eight-hour job, marriage, two and a half children and the terraced house with a garden - or you reject everything that smells like run-of-the-mill.

You are unhappy with mundane jobs or menial jobs, especially in hierarchical, authoritarian structures.

You prefer cooperative approaches, leadership positions or independence.

You have a hidden or even developed streak for art of all kinds (singing, music, painting, drawing, writing, etc.).

Character and personal

You are highly intelligent, although you often don't express it in a “normal” way. It is also expressed in a strong comprehension ability.

You want to understand everything and always ask “Why?”, especially when you are asked to do something.

You always want enough information. First the rough information to get an overview of the matter and then the necessary detailed information.

You are often rebellious and defy authority, even if you don't always openly admit it.

You may have already experienced existential depression, despair and helplessness and may be tormenting yourself with the question: “ What is this life actually about?” “

You have deep empathy, but often cannot tolerate stupidity.

You are extremely sensitive, you may cry at every little thing or, on the contrary, show no emotion.

You have problems with anger and sometimes get annoyed over small things.

You have few or no role models.

You have a desire to be alone and isolated

You also have a desire to grow spiritually.

You are highly observant and intuitive.

You enjoy the simple things

Childhood – Indigo Children

You often had difficulties in school, especially with control and memorization.

You showed erratic behavior patterns or thought processes (ADHD and Autism) and sometimes had difficulty concentrating on a given task, so you easily wandered off in conversations.

As a child you prayed that God would take you back to Himself; you don't fit into this world.

As a child, you were more mature than your peers.

Sensitivity, spirituality

You were interested in the supernatural or spiritual from a young age.

You often feel a strong desire to achieve a higher spiritual connection.

You have often had medial experiences, such as having premonitions, seeing angels or spirits, hearing voices or experiencing out-of-body travel.

You were or are still searching for meaning in life and want to understand the world. You may have tried to achieve this through religion, spirituality or esotericism, through spiritual groups, drug experiments, sex, support groups or books!

When it comes to religious matters, you are meticulously keen to explore the whole truth and very quickly recognize certain contradictions in salvation dogmas.

Your intuition is well developed.

sexuality

You are looking for a strong sexual expression and are/were inventive or reject sexuality out of boredom; perhaps explore other forms of sexuality.

Miscellaneous

You know or feel that earthly life is only a journey through.

You are very sensitive.

You don't fit in with your peers. You therefore tend to surround yourself with older people.

You feel cut off from the outside world. You do not share the views and interests of those close to you.

You are prone to depression and self-esteem issues and you are your own worst critic.
