Do I have an old soul? I feel out of place, do I belong here?

Question

I feel as though I belong in another time. I am only 15 years old but I have felt this way as long as I can remember. I have never really been a child. I have always been sort of mature and wise beyond my years. I am not like your typical mainstream teenager who is always on the phone texting or gossiping. I mean I really don't see the point. When I see someone texting I think its ridiculous, if you want to have a conversation just pick up the phone and dial their number. I also cannot stand the abbreviation text terms such as LOL or OMG, etc. I never shorten my sentences or express my thoughts with such words. I really feel out of place. All of the kids I hang out with are really kids. They text, gossip, watch tv and stupid youtube videos. I do not have the same sense of humor as them. When I am around them I have to adjust myself to fit to their personality. I have to fake my interest in their life so I seem normal. I feel like an outcast. I feel higher than all of my peers and I have always felt this way. I feel as though I belong in a different body, an older body. I feel like I belong in a different age like the 1950s for example. I feel as though I should have belonged to a decade like that. I love all kinds of music, but I treasure the classic music. I treasure the old life and the old ways. I love the old tv shows, the old people, and the old games. I really feel as though I am the wrong soul for my 15 year old body. Can anyone shed some light on this subject? Can anyone relate to my feelings? I feel so alone....

Answer 1

Oh l noticed, l also noticed that you cummulated all the texting an average kid do in a day in a one only big wall of text



By the way you have a quite superficial knowledge of how people had fun back in the 50 but the most common were to steal female clothes, try to infiltrate on their public baths, there was also lots of marijuana and several orgies in the wild, the climax of such era was woodstock festival and nudity was common in such events

Answer 2

I, too have often felt that I lie in the wrong time period. ( I am in my late 50's though)

There is nothing really wrong with you - this is just whom you are.

As you get older, perhaps you will find some one who is an "old soul" like yourself.

Please do not beat your self up over these feelings.
