Kindred Spirit In Relationships: Meaning & Signs You Found Yours!

We often ask the universe to send us someone who completely understands us, knows how we exactly feel in different situations, someone who is just made for us. However, we always know how difficult it is to find someone who thinks like us and has similar thought processes, attitudes, opinions, etc.

Such people with whom all your value systems, thoughts, and personality match are called your kindred spirits. These kindred spirits are difficult to find but if you are lucky enough to find yours, you’ll see how quickly you find a rhythm with them.

Your kindred spirits are those people who are an identical copy of your mindset.  Today, in this blog we are going to understand the concept of kindred spirits and how to know you have found yours. Shall we begin?

What Is A Kindred Spirit?

According to  Sabrina Romanoff, a clinical psychologist from Yeshiva University kindred spirits are those people who are very compatible with you. Kindred spirits are like-minded and often share a strong bond. These people are also believed to have identical perspectives as well.

It is believed by relationship exerts that kindred spirits find a very strong connection with each other right from the beginning. It’s strange to connect with some so quickly but with kindred spirits, it is quite common.

Sometimes, because of certain situations, kindred spirits have to part ways but whenever they reunite, it’s like they never left each other. It’s very easy to fall right back into that relationship because their frequency match is impeccable.

Are Kindred Spirits Different From Twin Flame?

Many people confused kindred spirits to be similar to twin flames or soulmates. However, they might look similar but are not the same. Let me tell you how they are different from each other. When we talk about twin flames or soulmates a romantic relationship is always involved.

Whereas when you talk about kindred spirits, a romantic relationship is not necessary. With kindred spirits, you can have a romantic relationship, a friendship, a familial relationship, or any platonic relationship.

Twin flames relationships or with soulmates are driven by love, romantic attraction, passion, etc. On the other hand, kindred spirits are driven by common interests, shared thoughts, similar ideologies, etc.
