Has your intuition ever been wrong?

There are books you can read about this, but it boils down to this: the feeling of fear comes from an emotional investment or attachment while intuition does not. Try to remove any emotions involved with your gut instinct/intuition. The fear is based on a situation that you have an interest in a desired outcome (good/bad, right/wrong). Intuition is telling you from a “neutral perspective” that something isn’t adding up or doesn’t make sense. One you think about, one you feel.

For many years I pushed down my “gut feelings” because the person I was married to told me I was imagining things. Several years later, he was killed. I found out with undeniable proof on many accounts that my gut feelings were spot on. Women are blessed with a keen ability to feel when things aren’t right, ignoring this could make your life much harder.

I can't remember a time my intuition was wrong.

However, I very frequently get punished for ignoring it, in both big and small ways.

I had an ex I really loved - but I kept feeling more and more suffocated. I kept telling myself it was fine, and tried to push off the sense that I needed to leave him. I started having dreams of him turning into a snake and winding about me until I couldn't move. When I would awake, I would reassure myself that things were fine.

And when I did break up with him, although it was incredibly difficult, I felt a wonderful lightness, and thankfully the dreams stopped.

It can be really difficult to follow your instinct, but I do find that normally it's right. I am curious about what other commenters say, which is to separate emotion from instinct. I think that sounds right.

No, it hasn't. I need to trust my intuition more.

From the books I’ve read, and putting into place a few of the things they suggest, the best time to listen to your instinct and separate the “feelings” from it are when your mind is in a relaxed state. What is it that is causing you to fear? If you eliminate that component, what is your intuition telling you? Think to moments when your intuition was right. Think of the sensations that your body was experiencing at the time. Now bring that forward to your current situation. Both with and without fear. LISTEN to your body. FEEL your gut feeling. Trust in it. You have examples from your past when it was correct. You listened to it then. Listen to it now

No unfortunately, feelings about people or situations that is. However, there are instances with illness where my body goes into “doom” mode, where I can convince myself in those moments I am going to die... hasn’t happened yet so I attribute those to panic.

The heart is a treacherous thing. It’s vital to differentiate between a feeling and a true gut warning, the kind that tells you not to walk down an alleyway.

Intuition is usually just a common sense and our first instinct is to suppress it if it doesn't give an immediate positive return to us.

From science perspective, whole field of statistics are investigating ways to model intuition using mathematics. Thus far it works quite well as whole science is based on stats. Like this Coronavirus model everyone talks about as well.

Trust your intuition more, but don't act like you wouldn't otherwise.

Had the same question. Thanks for posting. It’s hard to find the difference between insecurity and a gut instinct
