What happens to Indigo children when they grow up?

Ryan Wilson2 said:The point I am making is quite simple: if you lack the capacity to manage your own existence—meaning, if you aren't even satisfied with your own life—how on earth do you expect to fix a world that is currently collapsing under its own weight?

Personally, I don't buy into this whole "Indigo" concept at all. In fact, I find it dangerous to the very idea of human individuality and intrinsic value. It's nothing more than spiritualized psychiatry—a way to slap a label on people through a pseudo-spiritual diagnostic lens.

I couldn't agree more.

Does having the job and checking all those boxes actually mean you're satisfied—like, does it mean you've finally "made it"?

Honestly, feels like wearyrider16 is more about chasing that inner peace than anything external—just looking for that internal satisfaction, you know?

Having a polished life on the outside doesn't mean you're actually happy on the inside—man, if only it worked that way. Things would be a hell of a lot easier.

That whole "world pressing against your back" thing... yeah, I feel you there. But honestly? You can't fix that kind of weight just by moving this way—it's not gonna cut it.

Look, this might work for diagnosis. But if you’re stuck dealing with an issue and nothing traditional seems to fix it, there’s really no harm in exploring something like this. Honestly, just realizing there are other people out there going through the exact same thing—knowing it isn't some freakish pathology—can be incredibly comforting and grounding. As for that whole database of aura colors? To me, it doesn't hold any more or less weight than any of the other spiritual ideas we talk about on here.

Thomas Nelson25 said:Not quite adjusted...
they call it.

..it’s more like something you just intuitively pick up on when you're a kid—you feel it before you actually put a name to it.

Yeah, true.
I remember back in a psych class at my medical school, the professor gave us this assignment to write down how we’d handle an agitated patient as healthcare workers. She singled me out because I said I’d actually swap places with him—I was only 17 at the time—and she told me there was something wrong with me.
She just sticks to her rigid little templates and uses them to label students in her psych lectures.
It's awful.
She wants us to participate, but then judges us the second we do.
Enough for smart people.

There was another time when we were studying psychoanalysis (Freud believed patients wouldn't be driven to maladaptive behaviors once they understood their unconscious motives, and that the patient, guided by the therapist, had to reach the core of their own issues themselves)... I actually loved that subject and stayed active in class. I mentioned that a patient doesn't necessarily have to be strictly led by a psychologist, since those methods lack a spiritual dimension and need more interdisciplinary input. She shot me down, saying transpersonal stuff isn't for everyone and that energy psychology would never see the light of day—which, looking back from 2018, turned out to be totally wrong. It just shows the system is deeply flawed; it's neither transparent nor truly capable of handling the field it claims to teach. It's a total waste.

Also, Freud’s main goals for psychoanalytic treatment—intellectual and emotional insight into primary causes, exploring those implications, and strengthening control over the id and superego—just don't hold up. The superego isn't some fixed structure; it's fluid and varies from person to person. You can't really reshape it if it wasn't formed during childhood. And the ego, acting as a conscious level of psychodynamic defense, often ends up enslaving its own host, which defeats the whole purpose.

So, don't be surprised if I seem maladjusted. I don't feel like I fit in anywhere and I feel lost in their world when the very people meant to teach you the truth end up teaching lies, belittling you, dulling your mind, and forcing you into scientific models designed by some bureaucrats at the top of the educational food chain.

God forbid you call that actual education.
Anyone who feels maladjusted to that kind of chaos is actually perfectly normal. They just aren't built for most social organizations, mostly because those groups have already brainwashed most people.

It is quite difficult to achieve true contentment if you lack autonomy.

Maintaining an organized exterior serves as a general roadmap toward inner stability. If your environment is pure chaos, how can you possibly hope to preserve any semblance of mental peace?

Besides, I suspect further debate on this matter is futile, given that he laid everything out quite clearly in his previous post.

From what I've gathered about you, you seem incredibly sensitive and empathetic. Dealing with those harsher, more clinical versions of psychology just isn't your lane. If energy psychology helps you, then go for it—explore it, practice it, and pay attention to the positive shifts it brings. Ignore the outside noise, the brainwashed opinions, and all that nonsense. Focus on yourself first; once you find your footing, you'll be in a better position to help others, whether they're "indigo" or not. Let the world change at its own pace.

Verd, it would be awesome if you could send over that star map you mentioned in my DMs. I think you might have forgotten about it, whether you meant to or not.

You mentioned you do it as a hobby, so I sent over my birth date and location, but I haven't heard back yet.

I'm honestly pretty curious to see what the stars say about me—like, who's really pulling the strings here?

Hope you're one of the real deal messengers. 🙂

Did you get a message in your inbox too? 🤦

Sorry wearyrider16, I just realized how much reading someone else's map is basically just manipulating them.

I wanted to reach out and say nothing but nice things, but then it hit me—that’s just manipulation too.
I wanted to just tell it like it is, but even that "truth" is just my own perspective—which is still a form of manipulation.

I guess I’m not arrogant enough anymore—or maybe just not shallow enough—to try and read your entire universe.
Honestly, I don't even know how to "help" people anymore; every little move I make feels like a potential landmine.

It's not that I forgot, I just... hoped you had.

Thanks, Joseph Bailey41, I'll definitely keep that in mind.
How about you? To me, you seem like a walking encyclopedia—you've got such a massive wealth of knowledge, yet you always seem a little restless, like there's always something missing to perfectly balance everything out between heaven and earth. I often see you getting pulled into these petty arguments with certain guys on here, but I'm pretty sure you're way above that black-and-white thinking and ego-driven drama.
I tend to steer clear of gender politics and those kinds of debates because they're dead ends; honestly, souls don't have a gender anyway.
We could talk all day about those underlying hot-and-cold energies, but I feel like I haven't even finished middle school yet compared to you. 😁
At least I'm being honest about it.

Joseph Bailey41 said:Did you get a message in your inbox too? 🤦

Don't sweat it—in your case, I won't be making that mistake again.

Joseph Bailey41 said:Did you get a message in your inbox too? 🤦

Oh, for sure. She’s everywhere. I just hope she’s doing her job well and looking out for us introverts. 😁

Have you ever considered just stopping all this "helping"? Honestly, your long lectures have completely thrown me off—I actually got a little spooked thinking your next post might come from some sketchy neighborhood in West Philly, like what happened to that other user before you. You saw all sorts of things in me, but she just ended up spiraling into her own drama. Maybe take a break from everyone else's problems and focus on yourself for a bit. You really need it.

wearyrider16 said:Oh, for sure. She’s everywhere. I just hope she’s doing her job well and looking out for us introverts. 😁

?
Wait, you think you slid into my DMs?

Which clone of yours am I supposed to be talking to? Because it definitely wasn't this one—you're the one who messaged me.

Yeah, I have.

Yeah, you're right, I was the one who reached out. Sorry about that, I wasn't paying close enough attention and I phrased things poorly.
Honestly, I don't really care about the whole "who messaged who first" thing... we're all just people here. Like Freud would say, it’s just ego getting in the way.😁
My bad again.

Peter Murphy6 said:Don't sweat it—in your case, I won't be making that mistake again.

Please don't. What you wrote about my TV show clone is actually much better reading. You have a real talent; don't let it go to waste. Just write about yourself, for yourself. With a solid editor, this could really take off and might even help someone going through similar struggles. And look, you aren't an indigo, a starseed, an old soul, or some unicorn from >. You just have your own unique perspective.

This isn't just stuff—it's my whole life.

Ryan Wilson2 said:Now I see

I am genuinely curious: how exactly would you react if that "illusory" wardrobe of yours decided to fall directly onto your head?

If a 300-ton boulder actually dropped on him—well, the illusion would just be over. He’d find himself back in reality. In paradise, I suppose.
I mean, we've all heard those stories about mothers suddenly finding the strength to lift a truck off their child—it's such a wild demonstration of our potential, which isn't really limited by anything except maybe the mental blocks we build for ourselves here. And instances like that suggest those barriers aren't quite as solid as they seem.

wearyrider16 said:The real problem is that I’ve lost my way. Honestly, I'm not even sure who I am anymore or what I'm doing here.
I don't even have the energy to dig through all these psych diagnoses anymore. If I went by those labels, I’d probably be hooked up to life support by now. 😵

I'm leaning towards Indigo, mostly because I have 17 out of the 21 traits, which definitely makes me feel like I fit that description to some extent.

Ever wondered if you might be an Indigo child?

Does your kid already have a real sense of who they are? I feel like mine surprises me all the time with these little nuggets of wisdom that seem way too old for them.
Does your kid struggle with discipline or having a hard time listening to authority figures?
Does he actually handle waiting in line, or does bureaucracy drive him crazy? He’s usually pretty chill, but even he has his limits when dealing with endless paperwork.
Does your kid feel stuck because of those rigid, ritual-heavy systems that leave absolutely zero room for creativity?
Does he hit you with a barrage of impossible questions all the time?
Do you think your kid is super creative?
Do you usually multitask a lot, or do you struggle with ADHD and find yourself constantly jumping from one thing to the next?
I’ve always been a huge bookworm, but honestly? School felt like such a drag most of the time. I loved learning new things on my own, but the classroom stuff just never really hit the mark for me.
Do you find yourself constantly retreating into your own head, lost in books or daydreaming through the day?
Does your kid fall into one of these categories: super sensitive, both physically and emotionally, or are they more on the cold, angry, and stubborn side?
Can lies and unfairness really upset or sadden your kid?
So, is your kid a total genius?
Does your little one tend to freak out in big crowds? I’ve noticed mine gets pretty overwhelmed by loud noises, heat, or even strong smells.
Does your kid constantly demand real answers instead of those "baby stories" we tell to keep them quiet? It feels like they end up getting labeled as "difficult" just because they actually want the truth.
Does your kid have any standout talents? I'm talking about those skills that feel almost supernatural or just an incredibly sharp intuition.
Does your kid have a huge heart for others? I've noticed mine gets really worked up whenever they see someone struggling and just wants to jump in and help.
Did your kids start getting into computers and tech at a young age too? Mine was practically born with a tablet in hand.
Does he always go on about how he’d fix things at school or make society run better? It seems like he's constantly dreaming up ways to improve everything around him.
Does your kid act out or show antisocial tendencies even when they aren't around other kids their age?
Did your little one take a bit longer to start talking?
Does your kid ever give you that look—you know, that deep, soulful stare that makes them seem way older than they actually are?

If I really am an indigo child—or was one, growing up—I honestly have no clue. Nobody ever really sat down to talk about it with me. So, how do you actually figure out why you're here? And more importantly, how do you turn down the volume on all this sensory overload and material noise I feel like I was just dropped into?

I deal with this identity crisis stuff pretty often—whether I'm at work, out with my partner, or just hanging out with friends. Sometimes it hits so hard that I just shut down completely. I end up feeling like a ghost, staring blankly at everyone around me, just desperately trying to find my way back to who I really am. It’s hard to put into words, but it feels like I'm searching for a home that's still stuck somewhere in the fog.

Even though doctors have officially labeled me with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, and even some unofficial bipolar tendencies, I can't help but feel like there’s a strong "indigo" vibe to my personality too. Honestly, I'm just sitting here wondering what the point of all these labels really is.

I’ve actually tried reaching out to the mental health system several times, hoping they could help me through some psychiatric sessions, but it was a bust. Honestly, I walked away thinking they need help even more than I do—just in a completely different way.
It just doesn't work for me. They didn't help, so I don't trust them.
Everything else involving them is a whole other long story, but I won't go there because I think it's tied more to spirituality.

As for my indigo aura—which one woman who specializes in etheric light levels and energy medicine told me literally colors my entire being—I've come to realize I'm just not cut from the same cloth as the rest of the "normal world." I’d honestly love to hear from anyone else in a similar boat so we can swap stories, perspectives, and ways to handle daily life together.

Here's an interesting guide on navigating auras if you're curious:

I really want to turn this "curse" into a blessing and just live a bit more normally.

There are moments during the day where I actually pull it off. I feel like I have my life under control and I'm not letting these things trip me up. But generally speaking, I fluctuate too much and struggle to stay balanced. Internally, I’m struggling; I often feel like a kid stuck in an adult's body. Everything hits me hard, I overanalyze everything, and emotionally, I'm still pretty immature.
I feel chronically exhausted. Most days, I just want to spend all my time out in nature or talking about topics like this for hours, scrolling through the web looking for answers that might actually help. That's where the trouble starts, though. I can't keep up with the usual stuff—rushing to work, dealing with paperwork, the whole grind. It stresses me out until I just snap. And the worst part is, deep down, I know there are others just like me out there, we just haven't met yet.

On top of all that, I have this gut feeling that there's a deeper purpose to all of this, even if it hasn't quite clicked for me yet.

Feeling out of sync with the system and having high empathy seems pretty standard for these cases. Usually, there are some unusual experiences involved too—that's actually the part I find more interesting. Generally, those unique abilities in kids get suppressed during childhood, so they sort of forget them—though I suppose there are exceptions. But it's hard to truly forget everything; we have helpers who constantly remind us and nudge us toward self-reflection. Then there are all these increasing frequencies and bits of information that might trigger dormant genetic codes or bring back lost abilities. Something like that should exist, I guess. And by paying more attention to dreams and intuition—through meditation or similar intentions—one might be able to progress further and uncover more info.

Peter Murphy6 said:This isn't just stuff—it's my whole life.

Once things land in my inbox or show up in public, they become content. If you're naive enough to think that sharing your "truth" makes everyone else equally transparent, you're mistaken. And don't worry, I don't go around broadcasting private messages; I've never been that kind of person. They've been izbrisati, just like you've been izbrisati from my life.

Go find some other fool to play your games with.
