discussion Times you wished you listened to your gut intuition?

[KatyPrismSpirit]

I've been thinking about this a lot recently. Can you recall a moment in your life when a gut feeling tried to steer you away from something, ringing alarm bells that all wasn't right? Yet, against your intuition, you proceeded, only to find yourself in a situation tinged with negativity?

I find it hard to tell apart when it's my anxiety and social awkwardness telling me no and when I'm genuinely feeling like something is off

 

Most of the time I just wish I DID do something I backed out from

There are times when not going with your gut intuition turns out good

 

Its just people only remember the times your gut was right/wrong

when it told me Beyoncé’s gonna repeat her tragic BIK rollout of releasing visuals a year later and i thought she/her team couldn’t be that dumb twice… should’ve listened

I once went to a trip and felt really bad before entering the plane, like I had this feeling that this is whole wrong - it was a sponsored trip with an older guy who paid for everything.
You can kinda guess how it went for the next 10 days

recently my ex and only partner and I reconnected this year after I made the decision for both of us to not speak after last year. for context, I've known him since I was 17, he's 20 years my older than me ,we were together for 5 years. he's forgotten my birthday for 3 years in a row and forever has an excuse as to why he forgot it even though it's 3 days after Christmas.I also clear my schedule for him every year around his birthday so I can treat him. he called me up last year to talk and long story short I was said to still be a 17 year old teenager who still pouts when they don't get their way and I'm just selfish.

 

when we spoke 2 weeks ago, my gut feeling told me he wouldn't apologize or acknowledge how I felt, even after I minimized myself for him and articulated respectfully my viewpoint.  my gut told me this man doesn't love me anymore and I still answered the phone and spoke to him. my gut was trying to tell me don't even interact with him because you're gonna be in your feelings for a few weeks afterwards. and here we are over 3 weeks later and I'm really hurt and broken by the fact this man has manipulated me for over 10 years and still does to this day. b/c of him, I've been playing a lot of Duffy, Amy, Adele and Kate Nash.

When I had to change schools. My parents were pushing me to do it and I could've backed down and stayed in my old school, but I didn't say a thing. That's been one of the biggest regrets in my life because girl, the glow DOWN that I've had since then 

[espeon]

So many…

 

Gut feelings during career I should had followed

 

I have also gone out so many times, having a gut feeling it would be boring/horrible and it turned out to be. I am now always following my gut when it comes to things like that

 

Gut feelings about guys that ended up being true, I had wasted too much time on the wrong ones

thank you, I appreciate that. I really do.  I know better but he's been my only partner, the man I thought I was going to marry. one day soon I'll leave him behind.

Gut feelings are ususally spot on when it comes to love, career and potential dangerous situations.

 

Gut feelings are almost always wrong when it comes to socializing and going out though. Like I have had sooooo many times where my gut was saying to me to not go but I ended up having an amazing time when I went.

It's usually when meeting new people, attempting to give some people a chance—when I already have the feeling that it's going to be a disappointment one way or another. Generally just putting time, energy and emotions into people.

I always listen to my gut it's why I've been single for almost a year, since I assume every guy who likes me is a mass murderer
