7 Signs They’re Not Just A Friend, They’re A Kindred Spirit

Here are seven concrete signs you’ve found a true kindred spirit.

1. You clicked immediately.

There was truly no awkwardness when you first met one another. You both felt an immediate connection upon meeting and were riffing off one another from the first day. It was almost like you were meant to become friends.

2. You’re interested in the same things.

As you grew closer, you began to realize how much you two have in common. For example, maybe you both adore poetry or perhaps you share a mutual love for romantic comedies. Whatever the case, you enjoy spending time together, bonding over your many shared interests.

3. You match each other’s energy.

You are both always on the same wavelength and match each other’s energy with absolute precision. You’re able to riff off each other’s jokes with ease. You can exist in comfortable silence together. You can even communicate without saying anything at all (i.e. giving each other the Let’s Go Home Look at a party).

4. You feel safe in each other’s presence.

There’s a true sense of safety when it comes to one another. You just bring each other peace. There is no drama, there is no tension, there is no anxiety. Just utter platonic bliss.

5. There is reciprocity.

You show up for them and they show up for you. You support each other in a balanced and healthy way. There isn’t any resentment or keeping score because there is complete reciprocity when it comes to your friendship.

6. You are loyal to one another.

You have an unbreakable bond, one that withstands petty arguments or even major disagreements. You can’t imagine life without them, and they can’t imagine life without you, so you both are committed to doing the work to make your friendship last.

7. You feel like you’ve known them for longer than you actually have.

It’s almost as if you knew each other in a past life and happened to find them in the this one. You consider this person to be more than a friend; they’re your platonic soulmate.
