I would like to think I have some of the traits you describes in your orignal post. I can't say for sure. I do believe I am more "like that" than I was earlier in my life. So if I can be said to be an "old soul" on some level, I'm guessing most of the ageing process happened during this lifetime.

Who am i.I wish i knew friend.
Sometimes i wonder myself who am i and what am i doing here.I am a restless person,nothing satisfies me and when things slow down instead of sit back and enjoy the peace ,i look for new "adventures".
There are times that i ask myself "why me?",why can't i be a normal woman and just enjoy my life.Why can't i settle down and stop caring about the problems of the universe.But i can't do that.I just can't.I seek knowledge,answers and solutions.
One thing that i know for certain is that i'm here to help others.For some unknown reason people come to me for that help.Not just friends and family.But people that i meet for the first time.They just feel confortable to open up to me and they are open to my advise.I am really scared of the day that i will give a bad advise to someone.I tried to avoid it in the past,but it seems that it won't let me go.
As for the old soul thing.Some people have told me that in a various ways.The most recent was a young lady,i can't even remeber her name.I was in a bar with some friends and a girl was sitting and staring at me.She started talking to me and telling me her problems,her fears and she told me that when she looked at me she felt that she could come and "cry on my shoulder".Then she told me that there is something in my eyes,an old wisdom(BTW i'm not that old,i'm 32).She knew that she could tell me everything and that i wouldn't judge her.Like a mother.
Sorry for the rumbling,i had to get it off my chest.

Don't want to burst any bubbles, but nobody really knows what they're doing...even " old souls "...
Speak for yourself, just because you haven't figured it out yet ,doesn't mean others haven't.
Thankfully, we all have a built in guidance system, that alerts us, to the course we're on.

Old soul? Ha! Those are the ones who think they know whats going on!
I am a new soul. A baby even.
I haven't a clue what's going on.
From what I have seen, I won't be listening to any of you "Old Souls" when I figure my path.
Mine is one of discovery and trust.
It just might kill me.
But it will never kill my being.
Get out of the way "old Souls"!
With Love,
Your Brother

I don't think I know who I am any more... People used to call me "A soul" and occasionally an "old soul". Back then I actually cared though. After my last suicide attempt six or so years ago...
I just stopped caring...
It's easier...
When I look around me I see a world full of heart ache and pain. People hurting themselves and the people around them. I see sadness and despair. I see things in people that often they can't see in themselves. What I see, what I see. If only I could show you what I see. I have saved lives. I have changed lives. What for? Was it worth it? It cost me a lot. I paid a high price for letting people know I was there and I cared.
Essentially I believe that the purpose of life is whatever the individual chooses therefore life is essentially meaningless...
Who am I?
I think I am lost...
