Have you ever met a person you instantly connected with? It means that both of you are soulmates. People often confuse twin flame with their soulmate. They have distinct qualities that sets them apart. So, what are the key differences between a twin flame vs soulmate?
What is a Twin flame?
A twin flame is the other half of your soul. You might hate them or love them, depending on how you feel about yourself. To find whether someone is your twin flame, check their emotional patterns. You’ll find that their highs and lows happen at the same time as yours. And when they’re not feeling well, you’ll feel it too. This resonance is the key characteristic of a twin flame relationship.
What is a Soulmate?
However, a soulmate is exactly what it says, your soul’s mate. So, you can have more than one, unlike twin flame. Your soulmates are with you for many previous lifetimes. Your parents and friends belong to a soul group.
Signs You’ve Met Your soulmate
And within that soul group, the one who is closest to you can be your soulmate. Remember! A soulmate doesn’t necessarily have to be in love with you. It could be your buddy or someone who is open to all aspects of who you are. Think of them like a war buddy. So your long time best friend could be your soulmate.
Which is Better: Twin Flame VS Soulmate
While everyone can have their personal priorities, twin flame connections are not superior to soulmate connections as one may think. Both of these can play a major role in your life and they often do. Your twin flame can have a closer connection with you, but a soulmate can offer more because they complement your personality, unlike twin flames.
Signs You’ve Met Your Twin flame
Communicating with a twin flame is effortless. You can easily read them and they can read you without verbal communication. There’s a deep understanding of the soul between you two.
Key Differences Between Twin Flame & Soulmate
There is always a love-hate relationship between twin flames, but never between soulmates. Minor incidences may happen but they never last for soulmates.
Soulmates complement your personality because they know you deep down. On the other hand, a twin flame complements who you are. Twin flames are literally your other half, while soulmates can be your figurative other half.
You cannot leave your twin flame to themselves ever! Both of you are glued together, which means a twin flames are always a couple.
Twin Flames | Soulmates |
Cannot live without each other (Co-dependent) | Can live without one another (independent) |
Have a Love-hate relationship | Can have minor love-hate relationship but mostly never |
Self-contained if they’re a couple | Can be self-contained without your support |
Have higher possibility for spiritual growth | Slightly lower possibility for spiritual growth |
Does Everyone Have a Twin flame or Soulmate
Not everyone. People that are spiritually awakened may not have any soul mate or soul group. Because they are so spiritually awakened, they stay in a higher celestial plane than ordinary people.
Is There Such a Thing as Evil Twin
Yes, you can have an evil twin, but that’s quite rare. For a soul to divide itself into positive and negative attributes, it is completely possible, but unlikely because the soul division happens out of compulsion that comes from a deep desire to not be lonely. And you wouldn’t want an evil company.
Can a Twin Flame be Your Soulmate?
Yes! A twin flame who is also your soulmate is called a “twin soul”. This happens when you’re glued to your twin flame, but there’s no friction and ups and downs in your relationship. This happens when the soul is matured and has come to terms with what it is.
