We can sometimes recognize people that we see as soulmates and they feel familiar with to us like we've known them before. Empathy is a crucial factor in most really close relationships so it makes sense that it turns up when we're discussing twin flames. You don't always need to speak to be able to connect. Another indicator you may have met your twin flame or your soulmate is that you can let your guard down and things feel easy. This kind of soul contract as some people call it is ultimately about deeper things.
