Do you trust in your intuition?

Hello there. The common belief is Man is more Logical and Woman relies more on Intuition. My belief is that human beings in general do have Intuition.
Intuition is the ability to sense or know something immediately without reasoning.
Personally, I try my best not to rely on my Intuition (even though sometimes I still do) because I feel that my Intuition is not accurate. Sometimes it is, Sometimes it's not. Its unpredictability makes me not want to rely on it.
I have friends who claim that their intuition is accurate all the time and has helped them much.
How about you? Do you trust in your intuition?

i do trust in my intuition but not in relationship wise.. Because relationship things will get me very sensitive to wat ple say or do.. Sometimes intuition in other things do really help me in ways that reasoning doesn't :)

this is very good question. I was recently learning about business srategy and learned that big business leaders take stratagic decisions based on intuition. But from where does intiuiton come from?? its from your knowledge data base!!! So the more accurate knowledge u have the more accurate intiuitions you get. Most of my intiuitins turn out to be true so i base lot of my decisions on my intiuitions and so far it has worked fine with me. The key thing is to keep ur mind free and your will start getting great intuitions!

I don't fully agree with the common belief that you stated; because often, man is illogical. And that at times, they accuse a woman of two-timing even if it isn't true. Sometimes, they (men) also use their gut-feel to misjudge others.
Anyway, regarding the intuition issue; I don't fully rely on it. But I must admit that since I got pregnant almost three years ago, my intuition became stronger. There even came a time when I became afraid to do something or act upon a matter, because this certain thing is the object of my intuition wherein I feel that something will go wrong. I can't really tell, but maybe, I'm now more sensitive to the vibrations that my environment is sending me. My husband has good intuition, too, if I may add.

Intuitions for me r not accurate always..i did have them many times but they r unpredictable can not say wen they r true...its really difficult to trust them but sometimes u still regret on not trusting them...Intuitions always land u up into dismay...nothing else dats what i feel...so i probably think i dont have much trust on them...

No, I don't rely on my intuition. However, there were times when I blamed myself for ignoring them (because usually I have a strong one). It even occured to myself that maybe I have to develop it, but I'm afraid and it will take a long strenous process.
All I need is a strong faith in my decision and above all God.

I don't trust it, since I always consider searching for the truth and finding out what is REAL. Sometimes they work for me, but many times they fail me.
Thinking by just using our imagination will not help, so it would be best to see what really happened and then lay judgement!;)

I trust my intuition. I'm usually pretty spot on. If I'm unsure about what to do or what is going on with a certain situation, I just think about things and just kind of let it go from there. However I feel about things is how I handle the situation. I've rarely been wrong.

Most of the time my intuition drives me crazy LOL. Specially when it comes to relationship, I guess I'm too sensitive that my instinct is usually accurate.

My intuitions are not trustworthy because I commit a lot of mistakes especially during exams. I had a friend who is very weird and mysterious. She would suddenly tell me that something bad will happen every time her heart will beat very fast out of the blue. Just as she said, something happened. I don't know how can she tell but it's a really great talent because we can expect the unexpected.

Wow. It's good to have your friend's talent. Hopefully it can help to prevent the bad things from happening.
Anyway, I do not think intuition should be used during exams. Exams require preparation and hard work. So long as you are prepared and work hard, I am sure you can do well.
Thanks for responding. =D

Hi poohgal, I agree with you about intuition, I think everyone has it and I believe we would to wise to trust it. Most people don't, at least not all the time. We have been conditioned to think things through, and often we do a very poor job. I have never known my intuition to be wrong, when I've had the good sense to trust it. Blessings.

Intuitions should rule you,You should never let them get the best of you,however in some situation they help to you to identify if something is wrong be careful couse some of them may be wrong and the same time right.however most people use intuition in their daily life to handle their problems or predict something.

Sometimes, if there's going to be a bad outcome I don't think I'll trust it.
