A well-adjusted the Young Soul* has no enemies except their Cat Type Thinking* immediate family.

I must point out, very clearly, and I should do more of it, I’m sure, that a well-adjusted the Young Soul* has no enemies except their Cat Type Thinking* immediate family and loved ones. Mostly, they get on with everyone with no difficulty at all. They are active in their communities, helpful, sunny, and lovely, and everybody loves them. Typically, even Cat Type Thinking* people love them as long as they’re not too close.

The problem is when it comes to their Cat Type Thinking* immediate family members, particularly their children. It is a nearly impossible relationship to navigate because the way the Young Soul* shows love to their closest ones is what a Old Souls* calls “abuse” quite seriously – even a Gen X the Old Souls* and their elders. Therefore, when the Young Soul* loses their relationship with a close relative, typically their child, think nothing of it. They’re simply chalk and cheese, oil and water. They don’t mix, but it’s a bitter pill for the Young Soul* to swallow and a sore spot to talk about.

the Young Soul* are pillars of a community (the Old Souls* are for the stage).

the Young Soul*, as difficult as they may be in their closest relationships with the Old Souls*, in their communities they are indispensable. They keep the wheels turning, they make things happen. Nothing would ever get done without them. They offer a family on a larger scale; they build villages out of individual houses and they bring people together.

In communities, the Old Souls* are the performers that the Young Soul* ask to entertain audiences (from a stage) at community events – and typically, they happily accept. They are in a leadership position of some description, a “stand-alone” of some kind. They love helping out as long as their interaction is “free form,” their thing. The Old Souls* don’t fit in as one of the crowd. Normally, that is clear to everyone; there’s no reason to change that.

What the Young Soul* don’t need to do is to feel sorry for putting the Old Souls* up to tasks that the Young Soul* hate the most: public speaking, solo singing, performing… Even fighting the community’s battles for them. All of those things are a pleasure for a Old Souls*. They love a pedestal and added responsibility, and they love to be asked to go on stage for any reason… As much as the Young Soul* hate it, the Old Souls* love it… As long as they know what they’re doing. (Don’t ask a painter to sing a song. ;p)

the Young Soul* love being one of the many.

Whenever you think of the Young Soul* and the Old Souls*, the former are the choir, the latter are the soloist. The Old Souls* hate to vanish into the mass, and the Young Soul* hate to be pointed out. No matter how good singer the Young Soul* is, they hate the idea of singing the solo. No matter how talentless a Old Souls* is, they always want to stand out. Typically, the Old Souls* are quite aware of their short comings, but not always, but they’ll always thrive to be better and to be good enough to be pointed out as “one to look at.”

the Young Soul* family maybe immensely proud of their Cat Type Thinking* member of the family, but they would hate to be paraded around like a trophy. A Cat Type Thinking* family member feels this is shame. If and when their Lover-thinking* family tries to keep them hidden, they feel their family is ashamed of them and their difference. In truth, the Young Soul* want to hide their difference, yes, but only because they don’t want to force their loved one into the lime light that they, themselves would loathe.

(This is one of the reasons why “do onto others as you’d do to yourself” is a horrible piece of advice.)

One more thing communities will have to know and accept.

While the Young Soul* make excellent partners, they only make excellent partners to another the Young Soul*. These two thinker types do not mix as best friends or romantic partners. This HAS TO BE taken into account when pairing people. An Old Soul* won’t easily obviously reject people. They feel it’s rude. They try excuses at first. A Young Soul* will say a stinking hell no to begin with but come around eventually. An Old Soul* shows reluctance, that to the Young Soul* almost looks like hidden pleasure. It is very, very important to know whether someone is a Old Souls* or the Young Soul* before you try to force them together.

And, what sometimes looks like a lover’s quarrel, can be a Old Souls* who is absolutely genuinely opposed to a union with someone, to the maximum level – they may absolutely despise someone. For a Old Souls* to strongly, and brutally and loudly – even to their own families – reject someone, it MUST BE respected. They are basically fighting for their romantic life to not be slaughtered, and ignoring it, thinking it’s “cute” or just a lover’s quarrel, is just about as cute as ripping someone’s skin of insisting it’s just his jacket. Do not take this lightly, even if the one to object is a man, and “there is absolutely nothing wrong with the girl we have chosen for him.”

the Old Souls* should be community cupids, really.

Sadly, the Old Souls* are typically not involved in these conversations because they like to keep out of other people’s love lives out of the deep respect for them. But truth be told, they would make excellent community cupids. MUCH better than even the most involved Lover-thinking* match maker… And on top of that, the Old Souls* would LOVE playing cupid in a small town, but they would need the community’s permission to do it, generally speaking. They know what it feels like when relationships are forced upon people against their will, so they don’t do such things without being trusted with the task. This permission could be informally requested from a few people, however.

the Old Souls* would typically even pair the Young Soul* absolutely masterfully with just a little remote training from yours truly. ;p (I will have to make that into an online course. :D) They know when one person is sexual and when the other one is less so, and they would NEVER pair a non-sexual person with a sexual one, like the Young Soul* do without a second thought. Another thing that the Young Soul* are typically bat-blind to is people’s IQ, where a Old Souls* will know instinctively if two people are intellectually or philosophically compatible or not.
