Groups > The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)

You just know and it is difficult keeping a low profile because people can see it in your eyes There were many times I have had to answer peoples questions with an I don't know, simply because it was easier than giving them an explanaition. Some folks are ready and others are not. I do not think it is conceited to know that you have a special gift and that others are made aware of it. Some people have a gift for mathematics and they teach where's the conceit there? If we were braggots believe me ,our gifts would be taken away. There is a humility and humbleness that goes along with this way of life and also a lot of soul searching.. The most difficult job is being human.. .

Hi Alexandra, and welcome to the group!

In the broadest of senses, I like Wendy Chapman's definitions from the metagifted web site:

http://www.metagifted.org/topics/metagifted/indigo/adultIndigos/areYouAnAdultIndigo.html

I totally understand what you mean about "conceit," and am always reminded of how a true Shaman never calls him- or herself "Shaman." That's for others to do. As I posted above, I feel hesitant around using the term "Indigo" to describe myself... it sounds a bit arrogant and superior, to me.

However, that doesn't stop me from using the information that's available to me, to help me understand my... ummm.... "weirdness" better.

I don't remember where this quote came from, although I have a vague notion it originated with a famous athlete... either way, it has always struck me as appropriate: "When you are great, you don't need to TELL people, people tell YOU."

I'm not claiming greatness... but I am saying that we are probably best off just trying to BE enlightened people, rather than going off to "tell" others we are enlightened. Whatever "enlightened" means....

Peace,

Yes i've known this for sometime, even though i have an twin, were two separate people.

That definition describes me to the "t"

Peter, thanks for the link. Interesting information.

Yup. I'm one. The first time I learned about it, it kind of scared the crap out of me and rocked my world simultaneously. Now I see "us" as the observable evolution of human beings. Cool.

I also notice that each indigo generation gets stronger and less sensitive. Therefore, I sometimes envy the younger ones.

I, however, am an older one and thus must work harder at maintaining that over-spoken 'balance' ;}

PS. Denmarkguy? You impress me.

Okay now I am wierded out... I went to Indigo site and read them to my Mom and and she said "that is you"! Has everyone out there in HSP Land felt intrinsically different from everyone else since they were young? I was always embarrassed to admit these traits as I felt they were flaws. (Even my ex bf noticed lights blowing out when I passed)I have feared I was developing narcissism or worse!

Hi Rishi and Peter, many thanks for the responses - both helpful.

The comparison with having a gift, maths- was enligthening, but imperfected. The charasteristics of an Indigo Adult in no way pressume pureness of the heart. We can not jump to the conclusion that possesing such gift is a reward. If anything, the gift implies that we have more responsability, since we have the extra power, and most probably will have more challenges to become truly good people.
