Only the Old Souls* are keenly aware of this type of a non-connection to other people. In fact, only the Old Souls* are aware of the difference between a Trail Companion* and Destination Soulmates at all. This is because of the way they are wired; the Young Soul* are wired to adapt to all people around them, while the Old Souls* are wired to seek for their soul tribe, their own kind. This difference makes it incredibly difficult for the Old Souls* to navigate relationships, because to the Young Soul* they are “making things up” and “they are being difficult on purpose” and “they are being elitist or superior”, while this is not the case at all, it’s simply as though they would hear this annoying sound that the Young Soul* can’t hear, like dogs, and because the Young Soul* are not aware of it, they treat the Old Souls* cruelly trying to make them “stop making a fuss about it and just get on with it”. This is not a disability, it is an ability that the Young Soul* do not have, and it is a problem only because the Young Soul* refuse to acknowledge it as reality.

As I write this, I feel the Young Soul* insist that the Old Souls* should just drop this and give it a rest: “why can’t you just stop being like this and just like people instead of always rejecting them?!” This is like asking why a person wants to insist on breaking free from a box where they cannot stand up straight. Being in the company of the wrong kind of people ALL THE TIME is uncomfortable for a Old Souls*, it is not painful in small dozes, but the expectation to STAY FOREVER is too much to ask. The Old Souls* are VERY tolerant to different opinions, attitudes, religions, worldviews, philosophies, they appreciate these things because that makes people interesting, however, they do take this stuff much more seriously than the Young Soul*, and therefore, they need people who appreciate this stuff the same way as they do, in order to thrive further and further with their pursuit in an area that they feel passionate about. The Old Souls* are therefore always looking to find a connection to those who share their interest, while the Young Soul* are always trying to stop them from chasing their dreams and staying home and “just getting on with things”, meaning a very mundane way of existence. A Young Soul* has trouble perceiving such things as levels of intelligence or talent, and cannot understand their importance to the Old Souls*, and feel continually annoyed by the Old Souls* insistence that the difference is there, while the Old Souls* finds it annoying the Young Soul* insist it is NOT there.

So. Trail Companions* are the people who the Old Souls* want to cut out of their lives due to incompatibility and the Young Soul* want to force them to accept into their lives because they find it insulting that there should be people who do not want to be in the company of other people… Forever.

For the Young Soul*

It is important for the Young Soul* to understand, that once the Old Souls* have found their True Emotion Mirrors and are free to form a true relationship with them, after that, they will be A LOT easier to manage, they will be more relaxed, fun to be around, and a lot more sociable, but for as long as you try and prevent their relationships with their True Emotion Mirrors (of their own choosing), they will remain impossible to deal with.

For the Old Souls*

It is important to understand how and why the Young Soul* think about relationships, and why they cannot understand the need to seek for true love somewhere outside your own town or village (no matter how small as long as the numbers match). It is important for you to understand it, because they will always try to tell you you’re dreaming, that you’re under a spell, that you are somehow misled by romantic comedies and what not, but you are not. You know what you are like and you know what you want and need. This typology, along with the Trail Companions* is here to make it clear to you that you CAN find what you are looking for, and that you do not need to compromise and lose hope in true happiness with someone who will make movies pale in comparison.

And no, the Young Soul* won’t agree with you (any time soon) so you just hang on in there and grit it through.
