Why leading by example doesn’t work between the Old Souls* and the Young Soul*?

The Old Souls* and the Young Soul*people don’t think of things the same way. Their priorities are entirely different. Where the Young Soul* goes for short-term attention that they believe will lead to being loved, which leads to being given things; the Old Souls* thinks a bit differently. Getting low-level attention by acting stupid, pathetic, or aggressive doesn’t ever work in the sense that the Old Souls* sees something working; therefore, if the Young Soul*leads by example, they try to show how easily they get attention by behaving in a certain way, while the Old Souls* yawns thinking “oh my god they’re pathetic and ruining their reputation acting this way.”

When the Old Souls* tries to teach something to the Young Soul*by example, the Young Soul*is sitting there thinking: “Oh look how hard they’re working and getting no attention from anybody! How pointless and energy-consuming! Look how I do it!” Then they start a commotion of some description to show the Old Souls* how easily they steal the show by acting like an idiot… Taking pride in the fact they are not afraid of embarrassing themselves for attention and the love (sympathy/pity) that they get this way.

The dog-type’s greatest show: “Oh, look how I suffer! Look how pathetic and helpless I am! Feel your heart melt as I look up to you with these helpless puppy eyes!”

The Old Souls* tries to demonstrate how to be respectable, admirable, and responsible; take care of others and be a good person. A Young Soul* sees all of this to be a waste of time; there are faster ways to get what you want.
