I was surfing the net and found this description of Indigos, which I could relate to in practically every way!!!!
Apparently there can be older (elderly?) indigos who have one step in the old world and one in the new...I liked that...:) .....anywhere here it is - would be interested in what the older people as well as the younger felt about this. hugs Cathrynn x
Welcome all! If you resonate with or have experienced any of the following qualities experienced by many indigos, you may be an indigo yourself!
First Wave Indigo Profiles
These are some of the qualities and challenges that First Wave Indigos experience. Most Indigos can relate to at least 90% of this list.
~ Were born en masse (about 62%) between 1969 and 1987 (With stragglers before and after - 30% were born in the 50's).
~ Highly intelligent in their "Own Way."
~ Are literally "wired differently" than other people.
~ Know in their heart and core that they are here "on a mission" but many don't remember what that is or how to go about it.
~ Have an inner awareness that what is being taught in churches and schools is NOT accurate and know there are hidden agendas around the lies that are being accepted by the masses as "Truth." This is extremely frustrating but inspires them to uncover the cover-ups and expose The Real Truth!
~ Have a strong sense of truth, ethics, justice and freedom. (That is why "authority figures" many times irritate and frustrate them). When these are in jeopardy, will give their "all" for their cause, and many times feel they would rather die than give-in to tyranny and deception.
~ Many have strong or unusual Psychic and Telekinetic abilities.
~ Have extraordinary levels of compassion.
~ Have purple/UV as their favorite color or see it in their dreams.
~ Have an affinity to Knights, Castles, and Dragons.
~ Shut down psychic abilities because it scares people.
~ Feel like they could be one of the characters on the 1980's television series "The Misfits of Science" or one of the young people in Xavier's school for the gifted in the recent movies from the comic books "The X-Men."
~ Many times get along better with animals and nature than people.
~ Have a bond/connection to the trees, and nature in general.
~ Can relate well to children and or the elderly.
~ Feel very comfortable lounging, and would rather sit on the floor on a pillow than in a hard, uncomfortable chair. (Would prefer sitting on the floor in school, and business meetings if they could get away with it!)
~ Are very attracted to soft natural fabrics in their cloths and fuzzy blankets are the ultimate!
~ Many times get very impatient with someone who doesnâ??t get to the point quickly!
~ Creative, inventive, and very intuitive.
~ Involve themselves in human/animal rights efforts.
~ Have an innate sense of "oneness" and connectedness to all of creation. Get confused and disturbed when others don't share their reality of "at-one-ment."
~ High capacity for love, and therefore others may feel uncomfortable by their intensity.
~ Very sensitive, sometimes "Hyper Sensitive" and may not be able to distinguish between the emotional fields of those around them and their own personal emotions.
~ May go through periods of apathy and cynicism as coping mechanisms.
~ Intense longing for "their own kind" (Soul Mates) but don't know where to look.
~ Have what I endearingly term H.D.D. or "Hug Deficit Disorder" and need immense amounts of physical touching, hugs, and love to "cuddle."
~ Because of being misunderstood and then betrayed, may develop strong trust issues, and therefore keep many of their thoughts, feelings and opinions to themselves.
~ About 30% have difficulties expressing them selves, especially in writing. NOTE: If you read some of the poorly written correspondence from some of these First Wave Indigos, you would assume they were uneducated and nearly illiterate, but the truth is, that these same people can also be speed readers and can absorb information in seconds that would take others minutes to understand and retain.
~ Very disciplined when properly motivated.
~ Get bored and or frustrated in school.
~ Male Indigos (and many Females) for the most part don't "do authority" very well because most of the time they are smarter than those in authority.
~ Many find themselves in "Alternative Schools."
~ Female Indigos seem to be able to cope better with the school systems than their male counterparts.
~ Many are labeled "Dyslexic" and find themselves in "Special Classes" at school that usually never work for them.
~ Indigos have a strong desire to know "why" â?¢and if they don't see "the point" in something, (or if is it isn't explained properly), will feel it is simply not worth their time/energy and will either react with resistance or just simply "blow off" the people/things that seem not worth their time and energy.
~ Innately have their own ways of calculation and many have been accused of cheating in school because they do the answers in their head and cannot show their work.
~ Indigos have an evolved awareness of how things work, therefore, many of the rigid rules and methods of learning Math, English, and Physics (NOT metaphysics or quantum physics) make no sense to them.
~ All First wave Indigos have what might be termed as "A Gift of Healing" ....whether it is making people feel better with their humor and wit, hands on healing, animal and plant healing, healing with music and tone, or healing with new "unproven" methods.. â?¢some of which are natural and need no external training for.
~ Many Indigos have "Telepathic Healing" abilities and long distances make no difference to the efficiency of their work.
~ Because of their expanded perception, unusual creativity, wanting to try new things, and running way ahead of what is being taught in class, many were diagnosed as having Attention Deficit Disorder, and put on Ritalin as children.
s~ Most Indigo's (especially males) have a high innate aptitude for computers/electronics and or auto mechanics. It is common for them to "Just Know" how to operate and trouble shoot with very little help from a book or an instructor.
~ First Wave Indigo's are extremely creative, and express this innate skill in many (and often times OUTRAGEOUS forms.) These skills manifest in: Drawing, Painting, culpting, Decorating, Photography, Writing (in sometimes very extreme and unique ways), Making Blueprints and Prototypes, Composing and Playing Musicâ?¢.(even if they have never had lessons), inventing games, and creating new & more efficient ways of doing things.
~ Very few Indigos are interested in aggressive sports such as Football and Hockey. They would rather spend their physical exercise time and energy in personal achievement and outdoor sports such as track & field, skateboarding, mountain climbing, cycling, kayaking, etc. They are also attracted to discipline and self-defense sports such as Fencing and Martial Arts
~ Because of their feeling so foreign to this planet, a very high percentage of Indigos have been put on "Antidepressants" to make them appear "Normal" and fit in our societyâ?¢.this is just a temporary fix though, and only adds to their challenges.
~ Many Indigos are drawn to Theatrics, Drama, and Stand-up Comedy. In these venues they can "pretend to be someone else" when actually they are using this as an outlet to vent and express their own views and pent up emotions. It is also a place for "misfits" to find a place of refuge and "fit in".
~ Because of their feeling so "alien" here, many go through periods of severe grief, loneliness, and displacementâ?¢..and may turn to drugs, alcohol, or attempt suicide for a way out.
There are many, many, more qualities, as we have been discovering here in this group forum that exist, and the list continues to grow, almost on a daily basis. Be-ing indigo is an ever-evolving state of BE-ing as we are learning more every day!

My mom did research on it after she found out that I am one but I personally do not care for the description. It to me is like those chain letters that say if you picked this this and this then you are: and so on lol although many apply to me I know who I am better than a legend on the internet...lol...but at first it was nice to know what I was. And why I feel certain things. -

I too am a "First Wave Indigo" right to the core. I came in the first 30% as my birth was 6 months before 1950. I have many special gifts that I have been given and now can live confortably as I understand so much more about what I am here for... Thank you for the post. I didn't know many people knew about this...L -

Just search for Indigo Adults on your google, hotmail, yahoo etc.
I like this list:Please note, anyone could have a few of these traits, but Indigo Adults have most or all of these 25 characteristics.
Indigo Adult Characteristics
Are intelligent, though may not have had top grades.
Are very creative and enjoy making things.
Always need to know WHY, especially why they are being asked to do something.
Had disgust and perhaps loathing for much of the required and repetitious work in school.
Were rebellious in school in that they refused to do homework and rejected authority of teachers, OR seriously wanted to rebel, but didn't DARE, usually due to parental pressure.
May have experienced early existential depression and feelings of helplessness. These may have ranged from sadness to utter despair. Suicidal feelings while still in high school or younger are not uncommon in the Indigo Adult.
Have difficulty in service-oriented jobs. Indigos resist authority and caste system of employment.
Prefer leadership positions or working alone to team positions.
Have deep empathy for others, yet an intolerance of stupidity.
May be extremely emotionally sensitive including crying at the drop of a hat (no shielding) Or may be the opposite and show no expression of emotion (full shielding).
May have trouble with RAGE.
Have trouble with systems they consider broken or ineffective, ie. political, educational, medical, and legal.
Alienation from or anger with politics - feeling your voice won't count and/or that the outcome really doesn't mattter.
Frustration with or rejection of the traditional American dream - 9-5 career, marriage, 2.5 children, house with white picket fence, etc.
Anger at rights being taken away, fear and/or fury at "Big Brother watching you."
Have a burning desire to do something to change and improve the world. May be stymied what to do. May have trouble identifying their path.
Have psychic or spiritual interest appear fairly young - in or before teen years.
Had few if any Indigo role models. Having had some doesn't mean you're not an indigo, though.
Have strong intuition.
Random behavior pattern or mind style - (symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder). May have trouble focusing on assigned tasks, may jump around in conversations.
Have had psychic experiences, such as premonitions, seeing angels or ghosts, out of body experiences, hearing voices.
May be electrically sensitive such as watches not working and street lights going out as you move under them, electrical equipment malfunctioning and lights blowing out.
May have awareness of other dimensions and parallel realities.
Sexually are very expressive and inventive OR may reject sexuality in boredom or with intention of achieving higher spiritual connection. May explore alternative types of sexuality.
Seek meaning to their life and understanding about the world May seek this through religion or spirituality, spiritual groups and books, self-help groups and books.
When they find balance they may become very strong, healthy, happy individuals.

I would like to know more and explore this. I have always been an "outcast" in my family because I use to "freak them out" with my dreams and how they would come true. I could feel or sense things. For me usually thru dreams but once in a great while I could pick up a visual but vary rare. Mostly intuition and just a very strong gut feeling and thoughts. When I was suspecting my husband of cheating I would meditate and try to tune it in more. Scary how much I could "see" and scarier when I would pretend I had 1st hand info about it and would question him and he never thought to call my bluff, instead immediately telling me why!!
The weird thing for me is; I cannot control it usually. Just when it was something serious; like my divorce. For instance; the last one with him and it totally freaked him out. I woke up crying and he was already up having coffee and all I said was: Whatever it is you are going to do; dont! You will be caught and it will finally be over and I am not ready for it".
He asked what the dream was and I said: Earthquake (1st one) -- I was standing in a room and it was rocking and shaking and I watched the walls around come crumbling down. Totally destroyed. Then I was standing out in the open. Alone. Vulnerable. With just pieces of sharp gravel poking me and causing pain.
The next day; he got caught. And he finally understood my gift and called me a weirdo.
It seems to only happen to warn me about things. Never tells me anything good, LOL -- of course right?
My daughter when she was young use to cry to me; Mommy I keep seeing films in my head. And she would suddenly blurt things out she could have no way of knowing at such a young age.
I would appreciate any help on this.
Thank you, Tina
ps My Mom tells me I inherited from my deceased grandfather -- he gave me the gift the day he died when I visited him in the hospital. Ironically I remember that day although I was only 4yrs old. I remember him giving me a hug and said I have a gift for you. And I remember seeing him hand me something but not what it was. I had asked my Mom about that dream I use to have of him and she told me it really happened. -

I am an Indigo and it's tough to handle the vibrations, no wonder I have been so depressed!
Welcome
Join This Group
There are actually more people than you think that have some sort of unexplained intuition or people who deal with a vast array of psychic gifts, and for some people it is a hard thing to get used to, and even more so if you are sick and have to deal with this gift. Whether it be you are psychic, hyper sensitive or indigo or you just value your intuition it would be nice for people to get together and share their stories and seek advice and understanding.
