The girl that appeared in my life when running HS is definitely my soulmate, I can tell by the deeper connection and impact we have on each other, but it doesn’t mean that we are compatible in the traditional boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, or interested in it at this point in our life.
I think the term soulmate is inaccurate, for me it is more like ‘soul family’, we understand each other very deeply and very easily, there are a lot of shared interests and/or life/spiritual understandings in common but the surface part of our being, our ego and current life circumstances and level of development emotional and psychological might not be aligned for a classic intimate relationship.
But we are deeply connected and unconsciously benefit from each other’s life experiences. I have met a few of these souls this year, one male and two females, the connections are mind blowing and I recognized how their life have influenced me throughout my life since childhood even though we have just met this year, these are very close ‘soulmates’ but not actually meant or fully compatible for something other than friends at this point.
I’m writing the above in answer to this
