Fucking insanely good, especially when it comes to people. They say don't judge a book by its cover but I can't even count the times I have and been spot on.

When I ignore it, or go in denial, I usually kick myself. The worst problem I face is I often have loved ones who are horrible about reading people and I have to "rescue" them from themselves or be their voice of reason. Doesn't matter though. They rarely listen and i'm always there to wipe their tears in the end :/

I feel like jumping on my "confirmation bias" horse again.

Not ignoring it and/or claiming 100% accuracy (or, that it's never wrong) seem to be mutually exclusive.

Anyone willing to claim 100% intuitive accuracy? Can you back it up?
The problem is, no-one can back it up, and emotional events are very subjective.

I say 'emotional & subjective' because intuition is not linked to logic or based on statistical evidence.



Youre so cute. Ive see you post this a few times. Beginning to wonder if youre not jelly of ppls intuition, and knowing when a feeling isnt right theres something not right with the situation. You sure youre a Cancer? ๐Ÿ™‚

All I know from my own 'gut' experience is the VERY FIRST impression is my most accurate when meeting someone. Later my mind/logic tells me differently. Convincing my initial impression usually doesn't end up well.

Anything in between becomes blurry. My paranoid mind may get in the way to a point of segregating myself from everybody. Even my true & tested can be misleading. So I like to ask again:

How do you know your intuition is talking??

Oh yeah, I'm a Cancerian. I've also explained I use intuition regularly. I 'feel' people more than 'analyze them mentally'
But what rubs me up is people who claim their intuition is NEVER WRONG or it is 100% on the money, everytime.

I'm NOT saying intuition isn't a valid experience or that it is not useful, it is extremely useful, so if you read my post more carefully you will see I'm having a crack at those who make bold claims about their intuition.
Case in point, people see what they want to see and are biased toward verifying what they already believe or want to believe.
All I'm doing is bringing in some lateral thinking to challenge folks mind.
Very few humans have mastered detached objective reasoning linking intuition and the subtle energies vibrating at various frequencies that are available to us....Buddha perhaps.

Always follow my gut, and I'm always right.



This^

It was reinforced this weekend; long story, but I had to go against what my gut instincts were telling me to do, in order to preserve a working relationship.
It was a fiasco and I regretted it, of course. But I had little choice.
The more you live your life by following your gut the easier it gets. It's a benevolent cycle.

I follow my intuition which seems to perk up when it comes to "people" i am usually correct
if i don't follow it i end up getting screwed over or hurt
