Indigos are not a recent phenomenon, and many people seem to believe in them. They are said to have been arriving for decades, so there seem to be plenty of Indigo adults around, too.
Read through the following signs that they are said to have.
Indigo adults rarely accept things ‘just because’; they have a strong need to understand ‘why’ things happen, New Age practitioners claim. Indigos are said to question things incessantly, seeking to understand the meaning behind why things are the way they are. Indigos may in particular question inequality, suffering, hate, and war as they cannot understand what fuels man’s inhumanity to man.
One of the things Indigos are often said to question is authority. This is because they do not believe the accepted wisdom is always correct. Indigos may have had a hard time at school because they argued with the accepted ways of doing things.
They can often be seen as argumentative and troublemakers, however, they do not necessarily mean to cause trouble, they simply cannot keep quiet when they see unfairness and inequality.
For this reason, Indigos often become apathetic towards conventional political and social systems, according to New Age spirituality beliefs. Instead of focusing on these old systems, they attempt to make changes in new ways such as sharing their views via new media forms, becoming active in environmental projects, or working in the healing professions.
Indigo adults are believed to find it very difficult to bear the suffering of others because of their deeply empathetic nature. For this reason, Indigos may avoid watching too much news – not because they don’t care what is happening in the world, but because they care so much.
For an Indigo, watching innocent people suffer through famine, war or natural disasters is traumatic and the feelings are worsened when the cause of the pain is avoidable such as in cases of war or the misuse of resources by large corporations. Indigos often avoid violent media in general because their empathy levels are so high that watching distressing scenes causes them emotional pain.
Indigo adults are often said to have a close affinity with animals. If they are able to, they may rescue animals or support animal charities. According to New Age beliefs, indigos love spending time in nature and enjoy looking after gardens and houseplants, too.
They also love to watch documentaries about animal behavior and the beauty of the planet we share with them. Indigos do not believe that animals are less important than humans in this world because they understand that everything is connected and we are all equal and interdependent.
It is claimed that many Indigo adults have felt depression, helplessness, and despair in their lives. These feelings may have started in the teenage years and cycled ever since. These feelings are often caused by the fact that Indigos simply cannot understand the harm that humans do to one another, the disregard for Mother Nature, or the emphasis on power and profit.
Indigos can often feel that they don’t fit in to a society that sometimes seems cold and uncaring. They can find building relationships tricky as they find it difficult to relate to others and are scared that people will think they are ‘weird’.
They don’t like to judge others or gossip and are often not interested in material things or popular culture. Once Indigos find a cause they can work towards to make a positive difference in the world, the feelings of despair often lift.
It seems that Indigo adults often develop an interest in psychic or spiritual phenomena from an early age, much to the surprise of their family and friends. It is not uncommon for Indigo children to share a desire to visit religious buildings or to pray, despite being brought up in non-religious families. This interest continues to develop as Indigos reach adulthood.
Indigo adults are believed to be open-minded about spirituality and religion, seeing only the love and light behind them rather than accepting religious dogma. Indigos may have had experiences with seeing beings from other realms such as spirits, ghosts, or angels. They may have also had many ‘bliss’ experiences and felt an awareness of other dimensions and parallel realities.
Indigos might also experience problems in the material world such as being unable to wear watches as they always stop working, having problems with computers and other technologies behaving strangely when they are around, or finding the lights around them frequently flicker or blow out.
Indigos are said to often have a special affinity with the time 11:11 and notice it often when they happen to glance at a clock.
Indigo adults often feel a burning desire to find and achieve their life purpose, New Age practitioners claim. They may feel a very strong need to make a difference in the world and leave it a better place.
However, it is not always easy for them to find this sense of purpose within the society in which we live. In a society that values hard work, financial and social success, political power, and consumerism, Indigos can often feel like failures. This can lead to frustration within the Indigo person who feels this deep need to achieve their potential but cannot find the structures to support them in this desire.
Learning to listen to their intuition may be the first step an Indigo adult needs to take to move towards their life purpose. Their intuition will then lead them towards people with similar values and sources of information that will support them on their path.
When an Indigo adult can learn to question the social norms of their culture and society and seek a deeper sense of meaning, they can begin to strive towards their sense of purpose and begin to flourish.
According to New Age beliefs, Indigo adults can make a real difference in the world because of their special gifts. If you think you are an Indigo, spiritual practitioners suggest it is well worth exploring this dimension of your spirituality further to enable you to bring your unique gifts of light and love to the world.
What do you think? Are Indigo adults real or is it just a beautiful metaphor for highly sensitive introverts prone to daydreaming and imaginative thinking?

Also if I am around a negative person or in a negative place the negative energy will literally drain me!! Why is this? It scares me.
Just by chance, i started reading about indigo children about 3 hours ago. I feel like i have been reading about myself, a truly amazing sensation, like a massive weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Now i'm an indigo adult that understands who he is, & what is expected of me. It's abit, " full on ", but i'm up for it. Thank you all for reminding me.
i also relate to all of yor comments, I love animals,plants everything thats alive, also people but not the ones that do bad in the world, but still i feel that they did that because their mind is sick as any other organ in our body thats sick. Im also diagnose with Bipolar depression anxiety disorder like Danielle schiazza.im extremely sensitive and make other peoples pain as my own. I live in Puerto Rico and after huracane maria I've been very sensitive and wonder everyday what has happen with birds and animals in general. how are they living with almost no trees and a place to nest. im always thinking how children ,women and other people are been suffering around the world of abuse, prostitution, raped, killed and trafficking them its something I think everyday and cry for their well being. my suferring Its unbearable, that sometimes its hard for me to handle. I have also have had spirit encounters and about a year ago sleep paralisys its the scariest thing. i think i have a purpose in this life,but still have not found myself and Im 44 yrs old. plese someone let me know if im indigo or something else. i think I;ve wrongly diagnose because of my low energy and bad fits because of the people that don't follow the las or respect others and i can go on. thanks :) .......... ;
You are a indigo adult, you are not bipolar, & you do not need medication. You need to relax, stay strong minded, minimise taking on other peoples pain & stop over thinking everything. Take most of the weight off your shoulders, because it is impossible to deal with all by yourself. Yes there is lots & lots of pain & suffering throughout the world, but this will change. You do have a job to do, but you will be no good to anyone, more importantly yourself if you continue worrying about every detail concerning negative elements that bombard us every day. Start with something simple, that is positive, & make yourself smile, & keep smiling. Feel good about who you are & give yourself a break. No more suffering, make some changes, only positive ones, & ignore negative things like bad news. I know you feel surrounded by low energy, but you are not alone. Keep reminding yourself to smile, & that you have good , positive energy. things will get better, but you must stay positive.
Recently retired Naturopathic Dr...Born 1956...An early scout...Feel close to all comments here..we all have felt similar feelings. Use to talk with friends in grade school about spirituality...all from intuition...no formal training...half the time would later ask myself..What the hell did you tell them?I just knew I was right. When watching tv I could never watch any show that had any violence or cruelty..actually questioned God on how he could justify any of it???I knew better and would look forward to the time I could sit with God and lecture him on his faults...I could go on and on My advice to you all...Love yourself first then start helping others understand what you know as fact in order to make this life best for all....
You possess a reprobate mind (and narcissistic) devoid of any understanding or wisdom if you think you can "lecture God" on anything. If you do not repent of such blasphemous thoughts, the sin of it will certainly destroy you in the end.
I hadn't heard of indigo's before until someone pointed out that my aura was indigo, then a different person asked me if I was an indigo. I do match a lot of these characteristics listed above, I'm very curious that two different people approached me. Not sure if this is a thing, but animals always come to me and children stare at me all the time
