I know this is long but it's really shocking for me, please take time to read this.
I have come across a page on wikipedia on 'Indigo Children'.
I quote:
"Indigo children (according to New Age belief) are some children, especially those born after the late 1970s, who represent a higher state of human evolution. The term itself is a reference to the belief that such children have an indigo colored aura.
Beliefs concerning the exact nature of Indigo children vary, with some believing that they have paranormal abilities such as the ability to read minds, and others that they are distinguished from non-Indigo children merely by more conventional traits such as increased empathy and creativity."
Now I'm not buying into this aura junk and so far not even into whole concept, but the idea of 'new age' humans being in a higher state of evolution was quit intriguing.
Then I proceeded to reading more about indigo Children. And came across the believed characteristics of such children:

Whilst reading this I experienced big Deja Vu. I have never felt so predictable in my life. Everything in that paragraph is me, 100%.
1) highly sensitive with a clear sense of self-definition
I am emotionally sensitive and and I definately know what I want out of life.
2) strong need to make a significant difference in the world
Please don't take this as an attack on your religion, but as an Atheist and a lover of astronomy and science I have this urge to teach the people of the world about it and make them realize that religion is just another group of myths. I think about this atleast half of the day.
3) independent thinkers who prefer to do their own thing
Again, I'm an Atheist in a country that's 98.8% Roman Catholic (malta), I listen to metal when people here get bullied for it, I love science when there isn't even a science youth club where I live. Again that is definately me.
4) empathic, can easily detect or are in tune with the thoughts of others
I'm not sure about ampathic, but I usually find myself knowing how people will react and even what they will say.
5) naturally drawn to matters concerning mysteries, spirituality, the paranormal and the occult
In my list of favorite things, paranormal and the supernatural come after Astronomy and science.
6) possess wisdom and level of awareness "beyond their years."
I can't really tell, this has to be judged. But I have been told I am pretty smart and mature for my age.
7) They are also said to feel a strong sense of entitlement
I really do
8) often labeled with the psychiatric diagnoses of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and also Autism.
I have Obsessive-Cumpulsive Disorder.
9) and that they become unsociable when not around other Indigo Children.
Truth be told, I have a big problem socializing. I only have 4 real friends, I have problems conversing with people and even getting a girlfriend. My parents are thinking of getting proffesional help for this matter.
10) They are also believed to be prone to depression and sleep disorders such as insomnia and persistent nightmares
I do get depressed here and there but not all that much, i'm more emotionally sensitive. But I do have trouble sleeping and I do have persistant nightmares.
11) Movement is required to keep them better focused.
Again, 100% me.
I just don't know what to think. =/
