Is your gut really ALWAYS right?

No, but we have instincts for a reason.

Your Gut isn’t always right.

A lot of guys say that here, and repeat it like old senile Catholics who have forgotten the meaning of the “Our Father,” but remember the cadence. It’s fluff advice that can amplify insecurities.

A lot of men repeat this, because of how wildly often women use Feminist Tropes, especially Post 4th Wave, to justify infidelity and their sexual strategy: Alpha Fucks, Beta Bucks.

Sometimes when there is smoke, there is fire— judge the individual facts of each situation. Put more effort into growing yourself, your Frame, and your Mission than worrying about this.

depends on the person but in many cases my gut instincts were right where my rational thinking was wrong.. you can't always rely on what "makes sense"

It’s better to be defensive. Most people outside of close family (and in some cases even them) are unreliable/untrustworthy. If something deep down inside you is telling you that something is bullshit, trust it.

Have discretion though, don’t become overly cynical. You shouldn’t be unwilling to trust, just be unwilling to give out that trust to all but a select few

I didn't believe in such things until i experience it. I don't know if it's always right, but you should definitely trust your gut (or your heart) when you're about to make a hot decision. There's no rational explanation to that.

Of course not. The way I cured my depression was to trust the process, contrary to everything my gut was telling me about it not being worth it to try.

It’s often pretty good, though.

Somewhat, maybe look at it differently. Your gut doesnt tell you outright whats the solution to your scenario.

Its more like a be cautios feeling or a secure feeling and then work with that.

CameOnHerBitties · 2021-02-18T11:19:42+00:00

Doesnt matter. There is no specific outcome which cant be remedied. Train your gut muscle enough so that you get the best chance of knowing when something is wrong.

cunningcaring · 2021-02-18T11:50:58+00:00

No, your gut can be very wrong. Just look at the flat earthers, anti vaxers, etc.

Is your gut really ALWAYS right?

No, we're not psychic.

Knowing that our insecurities can make us believe shit that isn't really happening, is the gut always trustworthy?

You've nailed it.

We see and feel the world in terms of our past experiences. Our gut can be way off.

Yes. I have avoided many issues by listening to my gut and intuition.

instincts evolved for certain purposes: they helped us survive. like the snake instinct, even a child will instinctively jump if their peripheral vision sees a stick, mistakes it for a snake. But you have to teach them to fear guns, no instinct. But also some instincts do more harm than good, for instance not all men have the same jealousy instincts, but jealousy has been shown to turn women off, proving to them your lack of abundance and dependency on her. so you'd definitely want to not listen to that one and even hide it as much as possible if you have strong jealousy instincts.

No kid. Intuition is an astonishingly bad way of making decisions, in general. See: wanting "closure." See: "I feel sober enough to drive."

EDIT: In any case your trust issues are about childhood trauma, meaning you couldn't trust one or two specific members of your family when you were pretty young. In their case they were just as untrustworthy as you think everybody else might be.

Whether or not you can trust anyone else as an adult, and what your intuition says about their teystwoethiness isn't relevant. That's called a Defense Mechanism.

Your intuition here is 90% informed by your early childhood experiences and that makes it profoundly biased and profoundly subjective.

But it's not always wrong either. Even if ypu don't wind a mechanical clock its3 still right twice a day.

Consider what your instinct says, then write down what your goals are. Then decide to what the best strategy for accomplishing those goals are. Finally, decide if you should go with your intuition or not.

If you are not an insecure or jealous person, then your gut is always right.

It was never wrong in my case
