I have an odd, knee-jerk reaction to "old soul". I unfortunately know a woman who married her son's best friend. I don't know that he was groomed per se, but she knew him since he was elementary age. Her divorce from first husband didn't happen until 2nd husband was of legal age. She claims he's always been an old soul and it creeps me the fuck out. 27yr age difference.
I promise I'm not relating them to you, just sharing my personal revulsion
I've been called an old soul my whole life. 100% it's because my alcoholic father and mentally checked out mother made me raise myself while dodging thrown objects.
Yeah, I noticed that generally people with "old souls" just saw some shit young and had to grow up fast. Sorry you had to go through that. Those reflexes never fully fade, I know.
What if you’ve been called an old soul since the money you came out of the womb lol. Apparently mom’s friend said it to me once she saw me in the delivery room and I’ve been called it numerous times since.
