You know that feeling of "something is wrong"? That feeling when you know that something is amiss but you don't really have any facts to back it up? Well, you better god damn trust it because it's way smarter than you think.

The majority of our communication is non-verbal. We pick up on verbal and big non-verbal communication consciously, but we fail to do so on very subtle non-verbal communications. That's where your subconscious kicks in... A.K.A. your gut feeling. Your subconscious analyzes even the smallest signs, from body language, to vocal tone, to micro expressions, and even to behavioral patterns.

Let me shortly tell you 3 instances where my gut feeling was 100% spot on and how I learned to trust it in a situation I am currently in.

7 years ago: My back then GF cheated on me. I had no evidence to support it, everything 'seemed' normal on the outside, but something felt seriously wrong on the inside. I had this feeling for an entire week, and it was so strong that it drove me to being a stalking little bitch. I was following her from work, checking her phone, trying to extract information from her and so on. All this without a single shred of evidence that she's cheating other than a 'hunch'. She was clean: no incriminatory messages, nothing out of the ordinary on the surface, yet the feeling persisted. So, one night she tells me that she has to go to bed early and that we'll talk in the morning. All cool, right? Nope. Stalker mode on: I drive to her place and her lights are on. I park outside of the building and wait. About an hour later she comes out with a dude, kisses him and he leaves. We can all imagine what happened in that happy hour. Broke up, moved on. Thanks gut feeling.

2 years ago: In a relationship for 2 years with my then GF. Then, after 2 years, out of the blue, that gut feeling again, that dread feeling. "I'm not going to become a paranoiac stalker again" - said my beta brain. "Just trust her, you have no evidence that she's cheating or that there's something wrong" - the blue pill argued. As before, I decide to trust my gut and see if something is up. Stalker mode on: FB messages, sms texts, call logs. This time, however, the bitch is dumb and lets it all in plain view. I'll spare you the details of the conversations with Chad, she fucked him, hidden it from me for almost a month, caught her, broke up, moved on. This is when I discovered TRP and swallowing the pill was the best decision of my life, hands down. Lived my life to the fullest, fucked more girls than I did in my previous combined years, improved my life and so on, you heard it all before. As an anecdote, the girl in question still begs for forgiveness after 2 years and wants me to take her back.

Present: After 2 years of debauchery, I meet a nice young girl, 19 years old, perfect blonde, no promiscuous past from what I can tell, I decide to LTR her and see how it goes. Drop my 2 other plates, and be in a relationship with her for the past 6 months. All nice and good, until the gut feeling strikes again. I'm wiser now and know that I should trust it. I start reviewing the past week and all sorts of red flags pop into existence that I would've never noticed unless trusting my gut. Examples: Doesn't answer her phone and calls back after 1 or 2 hours. She used to call me up to exasperation, more than 8 times / day, now she only calls maybe once. No longer requires my attention like she used to. Oh, and she mentioned a guy from her class 3 times. I'm not even going to bother checking for facts, I'm just gonna drop her with a simple "you know why".

Bottom line: Always trust your gut feeling. It's evolutionary there for a reason and most likely its trying to tell you something that you shouldn't ignore.
