Comments on: Indigo Adults: We Don’t Need No Education http://www.theindigoadults.com/indigo-on-line/indigo-adults-we-dont-need-no-education Advice for Indigo Adults, Empaths & Psychic Children Sun, 08 Jan 2012 04:38:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: admin http://www.theindigoadults.com/indigo-on-line/indigo-adults-we-dont-need-no-education/comment-page-1#comment-68 admin Sun, 17 Apr 2011 19:15:23 +0000 http://www.theindigoadults.com/?p=300#comment-68 Thanks for your comments. I left my old school last year (the one I was attending when I wrote that post) to be part of a much more free-thinking educational experience this school year. It's very hands on (as opposed to listening to a lot of theory) and can be personalized and integrated with my own passions and interests. I am learning A LOT more than I did last year and I feel a lot better. I think you'll feel better and less self conscious once you are out of school. It's probably the collective that you are part of right now. Let me know how things go after you graduate. And Congratulations on your degree! Thanks for your comments.

Honestly, I think I've become less of a free thinker/spirit and much more insecure than when I started school. Part of this is related to recent changes in my health and the effect this has had on my grades. I've become self-conscious about sharing my opinion, worried that I will say the wrong thing and sound stupid. I write papers, but feel restricted in how creative I can be with my ideas. EVERYTHING must be backed up with evidence and other people's opinions. So my argument only holds weight if Dr. Prestigious from Harvard supports it. Also, I've become more concerned about my grade than how much my work reflects my true thoughts and feelings. I just want to graduate. So yes, I definitely understand your frustration. In my experience, Indigos can be VERY insecure and quiet, even though we're supposedly supposed to have an unshakable confidence. I would never conform and compromise my authenticity, but I am also sensitive, so grades and pressure from my teachers or classmates have started to drag me down. With those Indigos that despised high school and rocked the boat, chances are slim they would be willing to subject themselves to college and everything that entails. I can't blame them. I've seen more Indigos this year at my university more than any other...I spot them in the library and sometimes in my classes. I think many of them haven't "blossomed" yet, or come into their full power. I think the term "brilliant slackers" is an apt description of us, so they're probably just coasting along and trying to figure out who they are. I went down a similar path as you did, going to massage school and involving myself with the healing arts before pursuing a higher education. Maybe we're just more sensitive than these younger Indigos. Not all Indigos have tapped into the gift of empathy. Just some thoughts. :) I’m an indigo in my late twenties, finishing up my senior year. Honestly, I think I’ve become less of a free thinker/spirit and much more insecure than when I started school.
