Do you think our gut instinct is more right or wrong about things?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

My instincts are always right about predicting people's behaviour and motivations; usually setting off when a creep enters my vicinity (even with my eyes closed), it triggers my fight or flight response, and sure enough the male creep tries to harass me.

Downsides of being somewhat attractive as a guy is the sexual harassment you receive from perverted men. My gut instinct isn't wrong, the real issue is it's absence when trying to navigate relationships with women or plan things for the future; it just bails.

It's very good at it's job of detecting threats; since my survival is it's purpose. Currently it hasn't detected any emotional change between the woman I like and myself, when it accurately intuited a previous breakup - but it believes things are will-they-won't-they.

From my experience, and from what I've heard from a lot of other people, gut instinct tends to be more right than wrong about things.

I don't know why, and it even seems like it shouldn't matter at all, but I really do wonder if we have a sixth sense about things.

My gut instinct has never let me down. I’ve avoided so many horrible outcomes because my gut told me it’s a bad idea. Obviously not literally but that sorta intuition about things.

Your gut never lies in a serious decision making situation. Your mind and your heart might confuse you, but that's when you need to turn to your gut instincts and listen.

When I was younger I thought my gut instincts were more right than wrong.

They weren't.

Now that I am older I think that my gut instincts are more right than wrong.

They are.

Gut instincts come with wisdom. Wisdom comes only with age and experience.

Usually right there has been times that i had a gut feeling about sonething and my girlfriend told me too just drop it and I was right and it still messes with me because someone died and i was going to do something about it but did not

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

Usually if I get that weird gut feeling it's my body's way of warning me that I should stay away from said person.

I'd say about 50/50. I'd like to say I'm right about every woman's Creep factor. But I've met some pretty creepy women in my day.

I think it's less we need to think about whether our gut is right or wrong. But rather just trust when our gut tells us something is wrong. I'd rather be wrong about 10 good women then trust and be wrong about 1 bad one. The good women will find another man. I don't want to have try to recover from the bad woman.

I would say it's usually right much of the time, it probably means there's something familiar about the a situation where your body is sending you signs..

systemsareyo · Answer

That's a tough one. Sometime recently even, I've had a bad feeling, I kept walking, nothing bad happened. I then wondered, had I listened to my gut, was there something worse on the other side of the street lol 😔😆

trust it and learn to trust it and listen to it. It sees with infinite eyes. It does not mean it's right...

Mine is usually right but its driven by what I call my "Web of Logic". My subconscious usually knows whats up.
