You mean you have an inferiority complex and need to tell your parents you need psychiatric help?

That is the first step to recovery. Congrats!

what the hell is an indigo child? provide info.

Hi everyone! Long time reader, first time poster, but love the site!

I fit the description of an Indigo Child almost 100% with my biggest issue being authority. I firmly believe that since we are all equal, why is their assumed authority? Shouldn't we be free to make our own decisions, as long as it is within reason? In school, stupid rules resulting from lawsuits tick me off beyond belief.....

Anyway, I've got a few questions about indigos for you guys:

I've consistantly read that medication for indigos is not the answer. I'm 16 and have been diagnosed with ADHD and general anxiety. Since i was first medicated at 10, every medication I have taken has not really worked. The "worst case" side effect has always been my side effect. Right now I am on Strattera and Zoloft. I've noticed that I've lost some of that creative thinking from the medication in order to fit into this cookie-cutter lifestyle of society today. If I go off medication, do you think I would regain that creative thinking, or is it too late?

Also, I notice that when I am at places, infants and toddlers stare at me continuously, mesmerized like I am the most interesting thing they have seen. I have been observing them and realized they always seem to stare at me the most than anyone else, weird considering I'm a complete stranger.i guess these are the crystal children. My parents say I'm a baby magnet which is weird considering I don't really  like babies. Anybody else expierence this?

I wouldn't say it's real or not, nor would I ridicule the subject. Though I would like to say that I can relate and that I feel like it could fit my personality. I say this with the least bit of selfishness. I don't think it'd mean that I'm better than anyone else or higher on a scale of spiritualism or however you'd put it. I think everyone is equal. We are all made the same way and have equal opportunities.

I kinda wish this was still underground because people definitely take advantage of these sort of things and turn it into a cult or use it for profit, etc. And you know what? A lot of children/adults can totally relate to those characteristics, but there's more to it. Some people just feel these things and sometimes knowing is such a pain when you can't exactly prove it to yourself or the people around you. I'd know that firsthand. If you feel special, which everyone should, express it anyway you want with no fear of someone else's opinions. Everyone has a purpose and this could be one of them. No one is wrong.

Maybe this will help...

If you can get a hold of yourself, and get help from True Professionals, you can still have a decent life.
But, you need to break away from people that enable this falsehood.
The things you described are NOT that unique. Your experiences happen every day, all over the world, to huge numbers of people.
The only difference is, you have chosen to take it as a sign of something, so you can rationalize it in your mind.
You are giving these experiences and emotions power over you, and you are allowing all of this to spin faster and faster, pulling you farther into a reality that doesn't exist.

Just let yourself be a "Regular Person". You still can.
And, right now, because of all those huge numbers of people that are hurting in the "Real World", the most valuable thing you could possibly be, is a "Regular Person" with your experience and sensitivity. Now, THAT is "Special", if you can do it. And, it is very, very needed in the world right now, at a time when EVERYBODY is looking for some way to escape.

Decide NOT to buy into the escape.
Get help if you need it.
As you work your way back to "here", draw a map, on how you have done it.
Then, reach out to other people that you see struggling with the same things you struggle with.
The "Rabbit Hole" is not a good place to be.

Damn, I wish I could be special like these Indigo folks are. Talking to angels and making little babies look at me with mesmerized fascination. If I could be like that, well then my whole life would be just the best ever.

I'd heal stuff and make things better. Then, when 2012 came around, I'd jump right in there and shake the whole world up along with all the other Indigo kids.

Man, what a time that'd be.

My problem is that I'm a different shade of blue. More periwinkle than anything, even though I try to come across as turquoise. Turquoise is better for getting girls.

Just sayin'.

does anyone know what a crystal child is? i was told i was one a while back but never really looked into it..

Good, good, good.
NEVER look into it.
Just look into being a normal, well-adjusted person.
Plant your feet firmly on the ground, allow yourself to ignore this madness.

Give yourself a chance.

Indigos and all humankind should be working together. Interestingly i havn't seen 1 post from an indigo claiming that they are superior or ripping shreds off anyone who doesn't believe. Just read all the posts by indigos and compare them with the other posts and you will notice the differences between indigo and non indigo.
and if you think it is for people who are either egocentric or want to feel special then that alone can tell you a lot about yourself and your own insecurities.

I can't be sure Indigo Children really do exist, but I know what I feel. Everyone is going to have their own opinion, so choose who you listen to wisely. Don't be swayed easily. Do your own research, find information. Talk to other self-proclaimed Indigo Children. But most of all, when you make a decision, stick with it and don't apologize or be embarrassed!!!

I myself am quite spiritual, and actually fit the Indigo Child stereotype. That list of characteristics does not define me.. I do. I think there is one very important thing most websites leave out. Most people tell you what the characteristics are, without telling you how to proceed. Or they're intended to help parents. Now, I will not pretend to know all the answers, but this one thing I know for sure. Just because you're special (or think you are) doesn't mean you have the right to act like a butt. An important factor of being a spiritual being/ indigo child/ and all religions is self development. Okay, so you are a bit selfish, rebellious and have a short attention span... Being an Indigo Child doesn't give you the right to ignore your friends or be a jerk. You still have to wait in line.. You still have to go to school and listen to your parents. Work on those traits! Fix the wrongs in your mind, heart and actions. Only then will you really be a true Indigo Child. On my search for like minded souls, I've found most proclaim to be a certain way, but act the contrary. It is sad.

Everyone ought to develop their Self. Time and time again, people just accept what they do and say to themselves or others, ' Well it's just how I am. ' That is not a sufficient answer for ANYONE. Correct yourself, change, evolve, do things that feel right. You'll feel better and live longer and be happier. Admit to yourself the lies you tell yourself and others, and stop lying! Stop doing things you feel guilty about, even if they're fun at the time! Ask yourself what you're expectations are, and live up to them! Be yourself, and don't apologize.. change if it's bad for you and loved ones. Trust your instincts, they guide you better than you'd imagine. Question authority, when you stop questioning authority.. truth dies. When you find a truth, however small, tell everyone you know. Do things that benefit others, not just yourself. It feels better and you will notice the change.

Yes, The description you wrote fits me to a tee. I am 56 years old, an old Indigo, child of the 60s you might say. Infants are fascinated my me, they cannot keep from looking at me, which sometimes freaks their parents out. I have had several kids yell out, "I know you!"
I was on mind altering meds for 12 years, diagnosed Bi-Polar and other things, and finally had enough and got off all it, taking only what an old man with a bad back needs for pain, and of course the Nobel Weed. You really need to get off the amphetamines, they will not help you, nothing can but pure willpower, of which you have, by may not have learned how to use yet. U2 me if you want more, we can email. I have a lot to say on the subject matter, but saying it in here gets a lot of negative response, if you know what I mean.

So very true, we are a peaceful lot, aren't we? We are here to help mankind/womankind to face the future and the next life in a higher dimension, and to help the women, who will be in power in the next world. (sorry, men) We know a lot things, and are not a bit afraid of telling anyone who will listen. We are not secretive in any way. The trouble is, people lay on a label, and after that, they only see the label. We realize that everyone cannot make it, but we would certainly love it if everyone could. Sadly, some people live in a very small box of dogma/belief/religion/chosen stupidity/ignorance/laziness/blissfully unaware, and want to remain so.

It depends what faith your family are. If they fundamentalist christian or catholic then no, don't tell them, because they mite not understand and take you to a shrink. Whereas if your family is more open minded ie new age or spiritualist etc then they may already have their suspicions about your uniqueness, so if you feel you have too, tell them.

but only if they're new agers XD

Yes you are an indigo child. You should tell your parents, your guidance counsler, your therapist, all your friends, everyone who will listen. They all should know how special you are! Maybe you'll help another indigo awaken and help save the planet from 2012. Your selfish if you keep it to yourself.
