Confused - star children?

83 replies

Today while at work a customer midway through a normal conversation told me that she exists on a different level to almost everybody around her.

She went on to outline all the ways in which she was special, examples being that she was a star child, brought to this earth to create change, that she is capable of seeing the world for what it truly is and that she would eventually expose it.

She then told me that she can talk freely and openly to me as I am an “old soul”. That she could feel the same power in me but maybe Ive lost touch with it as I’ve grown?

I didn’t really know how to respond so I mainly nodded and smiled. I’m in no way a deep thinker. I put a lot of thought into lunch from about 11am and then think about how I made a bad lunch choice from 1pm until about 3pm.

I feel like I was being recruited into a cult. I’ve googled some of the terms she used but it’s left me even more confused!

Any star children on here who can enlighten me?

I thought that star children were a bit different from indigo children. Indigo children are nonconforming but your actual star child is half human half deity, afaik. Pretty sure I saw that on ancient aliens one time.

Well it's all a bit like the differences between gnomes and pixies, isn't it ?

Spoken like a true non-star child ! 🧐🧐

@BMW6 thank you. I try to be optimistic and think positive etc but I’ve lost the child/adult he was shaping up to become and frankly dark humour is what keeps me going this last 6/7 years. Medicine doesn’t work. But at least he’s somewhere safe and being looked after.

At my work place there is a regular customer who often tells me some very odd things.
The latest one being that the local roadworks were due to the fact that the Earth is in a binary star system which the government has known about since 1982, but haven’t told the public yet as it might cause a panic. I’m still unclear how the two things are supposedly related- I simply smiled and said “Ah, I see.”
He is a really warm and friendly person, always saying hello when ever he sees me. I suspect he likes the attention he gets from relaying his strange stories.

Ooh I know about this one. It's all to do with planet Niburu which is going to pass very close to us and cause the poles to shift causing planetary chaos. Apparently this was meant to happen in 2012. Someone I knew was really into it but for some reason it keeps getting pushed back. The chemtrails are to hide its' approach.

There are some truly wacky theories out there.

I’ve come across the 3D, 5D thing - if you’re more special and enlightened than others you’re living in 5D, whereas if you’re just an ordinary, ignorant plodder, you’re only 3D.

It’s typical grandiosity really.

Is she a KISS fan?

Pixies clearly exist.

Ask anybody from the West Country. Just like the Hairy Hands, which are absolutely a mystical being that takes the wheel of your car and steers it off the road and nothing to do with pissed up Cornishmen driving home across Dartmoor.

She gets to be a special snowflake without actually accomplishing anything special!

At least she let OP be a bit special too Grin

Reminds me of the time Denise Van Outen said in an interview (many moons ago) “I’m actually quite deep”.

@SerendipityJane thanks for telling me not to dip into Reddit! Of course I ignored your advice and dived right in. A lot of it reads like satire but they are serious aren’t they?

Goodness me.

Im due back at the same house on Thursday.

Was her name Charlene by any chance?

ChiaraRimini · 17/10/2023 19:00

When DS1 was a baby, my mother declared he was an old soul, whereas when DS2 came along she reckoned he was "brand new". But she is a bit of a space cadet TBH

Shouldn't that be piskies, Josh ?

Of course pixies are real. It's gnomes that are imaginary.

Marygoesround · 17/10/2023 19:45

Some posts on this thread are pretty unpleasant - mocking other people doesn't sit easy with me. As a PP said the whole star, indigo and whatever else they've come up with really is neurodivergence. We're at the very beginning of understanding autism and ADHD - even that is within the last few years. Most neurodiverse people have gone through life undiagnosed, think about that before you mock.

They feel something is different or special about themselves or their children and they're right, they have gifts, deficiencies and struggles that neurotypicals have no concept of. As you say OP, the neurotypical world often seems to have far less depth but in this society mediocrity is regarded as beneficial.

Yes, it should. I did consider using the correct term, but I thought 'I'll edit the post dreckly' and then it was too late.

@Marygoesround ” As you say OP, the neurotypical world often seems to have far less depth but in this society mediocrity is regarded as beneficial.”

im not sure I did say that? In fact I know I didn’t.

people are free to believe what they want and other people are free to find them ridiculous.

Ive only just come across this world view today - In truth I find it no more bizarre than mainstream religion.

I remember being told that my children were indigo children. Said children are now getting assessed for likely adhd, odd and dyslexia.

Marygoesround · 17/10/2023 20:28

OP you said you weren't very deep, something about lunch being about as deep as your thoughts go. I don't think that's unusual - but unimaginable amongst the neurodiverse people I know. Yet it's neurodiverse people who struggle in society while those who don't think deeper than lunch reap the benefits society has to offer. Something needs to change in terms of the way society views people who are different from the norm ie deviate from the median

What’s the problem with not being deep?

And you are really generalising about neurodiverse people - I am neurodiverse and wouldn’t describe myself as “deep”, and I know many neurodiverse people who are similar.

Marygoesround · 17/10/2023 20:49

🤔 Didn't say I had a problem with people not being deep. In fact I said I didn't think it was unusual.
I'm not generalising, I specified that I was talking about people I know, however there is plenty of academic and clinical research which show the ways in which neurodiverse thinking deviates from neurotypical - that thinking can reasonably be described as deeper. But of course that doesn't apply to every single neurodiverse person nor every neurotypical person. That would be absurd. I'm sure you and the people you know are just grand the way you are.

The world is populated by all sorts, we all have something to offer and that should be appreciated. If we all worked on ourselves and accepted others, the world would be a better place.
