Would you follow your heart or your brain in regards your relationships?

Question

Well if you read the Bible our hearts can deceive us as well as the mind sometimes looks for what it wants to hear as a confirmation bias.

Pray about it and allow God to show you what you’re supposed to do. A lot of some well meaning people get into relationships they never should have been in. Some are with bad people while others are both great people but not at all meant to be for one another that can lead to absolute misery for both persons.

A lot of people can seem really good at first but it’s nothing but a front. There are people who can really pretend to be anyone they think they want you to be but it’s not who they really are at all. So just remember that and keep that in mind.

Sometimes deep down someone even knows someone isn’t meant to be but for some reason or another. They want to force it sometimes because they have built a attachment to someone.

Good people have to be careful out there. People with genuine good hearts many times are the people being taken advantage of and the worst part is. That sometimes those good people become rotten themselves because that’s just how they think they get ahead. So they become the monster who hurt them.

Not everyone is bad by any means but also remember nobody is perfect including yourself. There is really two different extremes. The difference is that when good people hurt someone they feel absolutely terrible. Bad people may fake remorse but they really don’t have any unless it’s for themselves. Some don’t even respect themselves very much.

As well as good people don’t do extremely horrible things either.

Your brain actually uses emotions along with logic to come to conclusions or make decisions. So technically every decision you make is a mix of both. Some people use more logic than emotion and others vice versa.

Has to be a combination of the two.

Heart: He's the love of my life!
Brain: He's married with four children!

Conclusion: He's a terrible choice. Be rational.

Heart: I sure do like him a lot. He seems to like me too.
Brain: He's only been divorced four months. Let him take the lead. Don't be a rebound.

Heart: We've been dating six months. He says he loves me.
Brain: We have a lot in common, similar values and he's fun.

Conclusion: Solid bet.

So combine the heart and head for the best outcome.

both sources provide valuable observations, information, and conclusions... I can't see any reason to follow only one of them... both bring balance and everything I need to make thoughtful decisions, whether relationship-wise or any other life area-wise...

Always my brain first. Once my brain confirms no red flags, I can let my heart go. :)

AviatorTom · Answer

It's best to mix the two together, stir well, and pay attention to whatever comes out.

slickrick6600 · Answer

I follow my heart though it’s led me wrong and gotten me into some interesting places. I’ll still listen as I think love isn’t always reasonable and the heart isn’t always reasonable that’s why you follow your heart. Your brain will lead you to regret.

Keyboardkat · Answer

When I was single, I let my heart rule my head again and again and I got burned every time. I finally learned. Guys, don't let your hormones and your sexual organ rule your mind! Put a lid on that and think with your head! If she's gorgeous, hot, seems interested in you, and has a red flag or flags, stop, think, and take those red flags seriously before you jump in.

MemeSupreme · Answer

ehhhh it's feelings but not my heart if that makes any sense  like i keep my distance even when it probably doesn't do me any good. it's actually pretty bad lol

Yannae · Answer

My brain, always. To be fair it was my third leg that spoke first, because HOT DAMN who is that. Had me anxious just looking at her, but right after it's the brain saying "okay stop, but is she good though?" And then I walked up to her, hope for the best and low and behold. She was not a sassy stuck up. Great! Love comes later, came way later.

Ideally, the heart and brain work in harmony.

Ideally both but my brain wins every time. I get hurt badly when i don’t

Anonymous · Answer

ALWAYS my brain. My heart is as stupid as 💩.😆

It's OK to chat with women, go out with women, even sleep with women. But you NEVER indulge feelings with women. Always have control of your feelings.

I'm more interested by a certain triad instead of a duet

Brain. Last ex took what remained of the heart and the other brain makes stupid decisions.

Garud · Answer

I start with the brain and wait for the heart to respond. the heart never said yes, and then the brain said leave it.

They are almost the same. I don't give my heart if it is not logical.
