Ok, what does it mean to be indigo?

[Roon]

I missed it....

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Blue, like smurfts.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

2. Yep, you have to be an ADD smurf

Oddly enough, that's what my mom called me when I had blue hair. The nicest thing she called me when I had blue hair, actually.

[no name no slogan]

3. You should call her that when she gets blue hair

She will, eventually. All of us do.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4. Actually, she'll dye it until she dies

And, I won't get blue hair, I'll get white hair. It's already coming in white, and I'm only 26.

5. I had a girlfriend back in the 80s with blue hair.

My mom called her Tidy Bowl.

7. Given the fact that my mom is a clinically-diagnosed OCD clean freak, I'm surprised

she didn't call me that.

6. No.

No. No. Just...no. No way, no how, no fuckin' WAY am I getting into this discussion again. There is way too much misinformation out there on this subject and people are using it to mock what they don't understand and aren't interested in learning about. I'm tired of doing this: :banghead: So if your question is sincere, PM me and I will share what I know. Otherwise...no. x(

10. Hi :)

Don't bang your head. Just know that not at least one person admires your restraint and shares your frustration. It's a real shame not to discuss it here, too, given that a good percentage of the posters here would fall squarely into the Indigo category :)

11. Ah ok.. eom

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. It means your child is ogled by creepy people...

who post about it on the internet.

9. Just replace 'Indigo' with 'Yuppie' or 'CEO of a major corporation' and you'll do fine.

What is an indigo Child?
As a summary, here are the ten attributes that best describe this new kind of child, the Indigo Child
They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it)

They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when others don't share that.
Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell the parents "who they are."
They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).

They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them.

They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and don't require creative thought.

They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (nonconforming to any system).

They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them, they often turn inward, feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely difficult for them socially.

They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did").

They are not shy in letting you know what they need.
