Thank you Briar Rose and, as you state, none of us is qualified to judge the "age" of another's soul.
There are a lot of comments I could make one way and another on this, but I shall just wait with interest to see what OP has to say next after having "judged" both our soul ages (mine harshly and theirs favourably).
I have encountered one Old Soul personally to my knowledge and she would be far too modest to call herself that (if she had the same belief in reincarnation as we do - which she doesn't actually). From looking at her, it looks to me as if modesty is likely to be one of the characteristics of an Old Soul. It's human for us all to want to believe we personally are "special", but ultimately either we all are or none of us are.
