Adult Children of Conscious Parents

I've been conscious since the day I was born. This is thanks to all the deep inner work my parents did before they had me. I understood Jung's philosophies and Rumi's wisdom by three without even knowing who they were.

Are you the adult child of a conscious parent? Do you experience the following:

-guilt over acting your own age (as opposed to a well-adapted, spiritually enlightened 50-year-old)

-need for excessive alone time to "figure things out" (even though secretly you already have)

-inability to consider your own surface level feelings (i.e. "crushes") but great capacity for deep emotional connection (with yourself)

-your therapist suggests books and you feel like - i mean, know that you've learned it already.

-your family always "processed" things so there was really no reason to rebel. Now you rebel in strange ways, like refusing to "process" your string of non-committal relationships.

-despite your recurrent cycles of refusal to "get deep," you still get ridiculously annoyed when your friends lack the ability to "process." (this often leads to very few friends, see point two on alone time)

-excessive analyzing of small events (i.e. "i saw a sign today! a bird flew in front of my car. i mean i know birds fly in front of cars all the time, but this bird flew right in front of my car. what do you think it means?")

-you're so obsessed with following the right path that you consistently think that you're lost
