We’ve all heard the concept of soulmates before, as that’s the basis of every romantic movie ever. It’s about finding “The One” or your one true love. However, it’s a lot different than twin souls. It’s easy to confuse the two, but your twin soul literally mirrors your soul.
Your soulmate is more of a platonic relationship, but they can also be romantic. Also, you can have several soulmates in your lifetime, but you will only meet one twin soul.
The term twin souls is found a lot more in New Age and metaphysical spiritual teachings than in other religions. While a soul mate is more of a “soul friend,” twin souls are literally like the other half of your soul.
Some people believe that our soul was split in half, and so we’re always trying to find the person who has the other part of our soul. Whether you believe that or not is up to you, but here are some signs of twin souls. So, take a look at these signs to see if maybe you’ve found yours.
# Your meeting might have been totally unplanned or unexpected
You could be happily single. Or even happily taken *or even married*. And you weren’t looking for your twin soul. But suddenly and unexpectedly, you might meet someone, and they turn your world upside down. And you can’t think of anyone else.
We never expect it when our paths cross with our twin souls but once they do, you can no longer deny the connection you both have. They come at the most unprecedented event of your life.
# You have an immediate feeling like you already know each other
From the term, twin souls, it also means the minute your paths cross, your soul would instantly recognize them as if you’ve known them forever. It’s just like catching up with an old friend that you haven’t seen in forever.
It’s such a feeling of familiarity. They feel like home to you. There’s no awkwardness or unfamiliar territory with them, but it feels like you’ve known them for years.
3. The feeling between you two can be electrifying
If twin souls are romantically attracted to one another, then the energy between them can be electrifying and overwhelming. The power of attraction between the two of them is just unlike anything they have ever known before with anyone else.
The emotions with a twin soul relationship can often be intense, which can be both a good and bad thing. But there’s an evident flow of chemistry, passion, desire, and love that is undying. This is why it’s almost impossible to ignore your connection with your twin soul.
# You immediately form a meaningful relationship
Because you immediately feel like you’ve known them for eternity, how can you possibly not have a deep, meaningful relationship with them? You will both have the desire to have a long-lasting, solid relationship for the rest of your lives. It could be a friendship if you choose the platonic path, but it could also be romantic.
Depending on your circumstance *such as one of you being married or being unavailable*, it’s impossible not to have some form of relationship with them.
# You feel a sense of unity with the person
Again, one of the characteristics of a twin soul connection is the feeling of unity. With most people, the personality differences we feel can annoy us. It can be a struggle to get along. But with twin souls, they feel as if they are one.
While they are not identical or clones of each other from a human perspective, they just feel as if they are in such synchronicity that they feel like they are one. Since you both can feel one another’s emotions, there’s a sense of unity.
# You have feelings deeper than you’ve ever had beforeWe’ve all loved people before. Most of us have also been in love. But when twin souls come together, they are blindsided by the depth of their feelings for one another. Since connecting with them is so powerful, you’re bound to feel things you’ve never experienced before.
The feelings are almost immediate, which confuses them because most of us believe that love at first sight is impossible. But it’s not impossible for twin souls.
# You may become inseparable
If both parts of the twin souls are able to, they will want to spend every waking minute with each other. Their draw to each other, and the power that attracts them, is like a magnet. They have an overwhelming desire to be with their beloved as much as possible.
This is why even when you separate and part ways, there will always be that connection wherever you go. A twin soul connection is so powerful that it’s impossible to ignore or deny it.
# The relationship is totally open and honestWith twin souls, because they feel so connected and intimate with one another, trust is just easy and immediate. They don’t have a problem sharing their feelings with each other, and they don’t keep anything from the other one.
Also, it’s practically impossible to keep a secret from them as they share your soul. Even if you don’t tell them, they can tell when something’s wrong, or you’re harboring negative feelings like anxiety.
# You could talk to them forever… about anythingAs you know, we get along better with some people than others. Sometimes it’s like pulling teeth talking to someone, but with twin souls, they could talk for eternity. And there is no topic that is taboo or off-limits.
The best thing about them is that they’re someone with whom you can talk about anything and everything. The possibilities are endless when conversing with your twin soul, and it’s all because of that special connection you share.

# You may feel like you share a life purposePeople who believe in twin souls think that they have incarnated into the physical plane to accomplish some sort of life purpose together. Whether it’s getting married and having children or starting a business that will change the world, they have come together into this life to spiritually accomplish something.
