Instincts!! Do you take your decisions after your instincts show you?

Yes I am usually pretty right about my hunches. Especially when I am in contact with a man, I can feel what kind of person he is in a very short time.

try this, whenever you have an instinct, make a hand gesture, whatever gesture. later, after the event turn out to be worng or right, whether worng or right, make the same hand gesture again, and try to feel how you feel at the first place when the instinct first comes up. after a lot of trials and errors, you will have some sense of is the instinct right or worng when it comes up.

I often think about this topic, trying to decide wether I should always listen to my istinct or let reason (and other people suggestions as well) guide more often. As for me, I would always do what my istinct tells me, and the result would not always be the best one, but at least I have no regrets. In the few cases I listened to others or used my reason to decide over things, well that were the worst cases for me. I still regret some of the most important choches I made. So, from now on, only istinct. I must say that since I can remember I like or dislike people at first sight, and most of the time it comes out I'm right. If I don't like someone at first, and after knowing them better I discover that I was mistaken, I openly admit it (when I was young I would even go to the person to say sorry...). Now I tend not to judge too early, but the first feeling still tends to be the right one.

I always listen to my gut .. for I believe it is telling me something . . since we have the FEELING...and we have personal power . . it is this bodily reactions to a certain stimuli... I think we have an incredible resource within ourselves to figure out ways of examining our experiences . .and I for one always follow my GUT . . and my EMOTIONS in making any decision--but my EMOTIONS set up what my GUT is going to tell me--because without sending out the wanting to the universe, how will my gut have any parameters on which to work on... so confusing .. yet it makes sense to me. .

Instincts are good , we must listen what our intuition say, but....sometimes instincts can lie, is possible, as judgment can be not good too. Maybe a middle way is better, i mean to listen your instincts and judge for a while too. Any way, life is life, and we make mistakes, and we must learn from our mistakes...but if we listen our instincts ,maybe we don t have who we can blame after we failed.

i do indeed

Hi, Ice! Instincts can be trusted quite often, but certainly not always. In most cases, I prefer to start with instinct and take it from there to checking things out. Nobody can get it right every time! In terms of relationships, I've found some people to be exactly the opposite of what I thought once they became comfortable as friends, so I am very careful there. I don't let many people get close.

Instincts are often right, but the best way is to combine instinct with evaluation of the situation. For example, if you are attracted to someone who seems very nice, but you know for a fact that he was violent towards a previous partner, your instinct is based on physical attraction, which is notoriously unreliable. Sometimes we have nothing to work with except our instincts, and in that case, it's usually best to go with your first thought. It's a difficult one to call, but we have to trust in our own judgement; if we can't trust ourselves, who can we trust/ Good topic.
