Look, this is a tough spot to be in. Soulmates and twin flames are really different types of connections, and understanding that might help you figure out what you’re dealing with.
A soulmate relationship - whether it’s romantic, friendship, or even family - tends to be stable and nurturing. These are the relationships that help you grow in practical ways and provide real support in daily life. Twin flame connections work differently. They usually start with this intense magnetic pull and a deep bond that feels unique. But here’s the thing - it’s mostly an energetic, soul-level connection rather than a traditional relationship. You’ll often see this push-pull pattern where you’re super close, then distant, then close again. It can be exhausting.
A lot of people try to force twin flame connections into regular relationship boxes, but that usually doesn’t work. These connections tend to be more about personal development and inner work than building a life together in the conventional sense.
