Do You Have Good Instincts?

I have always had good instincts. Including when meeting people, and knowing if they were someone to be trusted or not from the first encounter. Last summer, my s/o talked me into buying a used vehicle, I didn't like the guy selling it from the get go, but we bought it, for the first 5 months I had it, it was in the shop more than not, and it was things that the guy could have told us, not just do to the age of the vehicle. I have always known when something was not right with one of my daughters, even though we all live in different states. I have been having very strong feelings about this year, which I normally don't have for an extended period like that, but I do normally listen to my gut instincts. I decided to put off taking a test for work, yes Charlotte, I won't be taking the pack test, at least not this year. The test would have qualified me to be sent out west on wildland fires, but something keeps nagging at me about that situation, never has before, but it's been really strong. The other gut instincts that I have been 'listening' too all have to do with good things to come this year, so those I really haven't paid much attention to other than to take steps toward the end goals.

I really can't say because sometimes my instinct is correct but there were times that it is not so I think it depends on what you are about to feel at that moment.

Towards People I have if I meet someone and an Alarm sets of in my Head I will not go near the Person or watch the Person very carefully and like you have I have always been right

I think that I have very good instincts for alot of things. I can sense danger and predict alot of things in the future also. I do not think that I have any kind of phsycic abilities or anything like that though. I think alot of it is common sense. I pay attention to alot of things in life and I know how alot of things go also. I know how alot of people are also. I can read them very well because I have been used by so many. some people will play on your sympathy and use you to the end. Some will act like they like you just to get what they want from you. I know when people mean well and when they don't. I do not have a college degree but it sure does not take a genius to figure some people out. I see good and bad in all people. I know alot of moves these people will make also in life and which ones they never will.

I don't think if i have this gift..But there was one time when im with my friends. We went to a one place here in the philippines located near on the city where i live in. I dont like the place i feel some may bad will happened. I told my friends not to go far away from each other coz the place is seems so dangerous. Later on...i heard one of my friend shouting and asked for help..He accidentally slipped out his feet in a cliff side of the mountain...Luckily we saved him and we went back home after and decided not to told anyone especially our family.

I don't know if you call it instincts or not, probably if you aren't a Christian you won't understand this at all. Ever since I was a little girl, I have been able to sense evil in different people. And it usually isn't the people others would call evil, not criminals usually. It's the people who aren't otherwise obvious about it. The number one person I always think of is Hillary Clinton. Now some of you probably hate me already. But really, since I was a child, I could sense evil about her, without even understanding what she is saying or doing. I've been literally laughed at for this too. 7th grade Sundayschool, teacher asked "when you think of evil, who comes to mind" I answered within 5 seconds, not thought, just said it Hillary Clinton. That was years ago now, and people laughed at me and went on the list the more obvious people, like Bin Laden and Ward Weaver and such. I wouldn't say I have that great of instincts in other areas, like I worked with this girl on German projects from September to March and found out at the end of March she is lesbian. Um, how did I not see that?

I ususally have good instincts when it comes to people. One of my friends always wanted my opinion on her new boyfriends cuz she said i never got it wrong LOL well, she should've consulted with me before marrying this one, cuz he's an ***hole!! LOL Sometimes i can sense danger, but it's not specific, like once, i was sitting in the back in my brother's car, and we were going to a club, me, him, his friend, and my two friends that were in the back with me. At one point,i got this incredible, bothering feeling that there was going to be an accident and asked my brother to please slow down, but he laughed it off and kept going fast 9about 180 km/h) and then, on the other side of the service road, i saw this big truck that had gotten into an accident with a car...and the feeling went away right then and there...i knew the accident i felt was not for us, but it was that truck and the car. Weird huh?

I usually have good instincts but most of the time I don't follow it. I go with my impulsive side first and ignore my insticts.. then I have to face the consequences. Never a nice thing to deal with. But I am getting smarter about following my instincts, usually anyway lol

Yes I think so and I have been in a scary situation and I came out of it really good because my instincts told me something was a miss and that something was just not right. I am so glad that I followed with that and did not ignore it because sometimes in life it is the best thing to be aware of those feelings you have inside and be aware in general too because it may well save your life.

hello, strange things started happening to me in my early teens. i'l give you one example now as i'm leaving for work soon & more detail(if you like) tonight after work. 8 times out of 10 i know the phones about to ring & who it is for..

I call this womans intuition and yes I get this all the time and the only time I end up in a mess is when I don't listen to it. I get on with most people but on two occasion upon meeting someone I had an intense dislike for them that I couldn't explain. Fool that I was I didn't go with this and one ended up living with my husband and the other hurt my son physically. Also recently (well about 6 months ago now) a neighbour bought a new car, they sometimes look after my child and I immediately said for them never to take my son out in their car I had a niggle about it and I also refused to go in it but I felt it was okay for them to be in it just not us. Well over the Easter weekend they were driving and a lorry in front of them hit a tree bringing a branch down on the passenger side of the car, no injuries but there would have been had there been a passenger. I always now go with this gut feeling, niggle instinct whatever term one likes to call it. Interesting topic Winterose. Ellie :D

I do believe I have good instincts about people, but so often it seems that I ignore that gut feeling. There are times when I will meet a person and feel an instant dislike - now I like almost everyone, so this is very strange for me. Frequently they are very charming and everyone around me likes them, but it never fails, when I feel that way, it is because there is something "off" about that person. A particular example that springs to mind is about a woman that was introduced to my group of girlfriends and I just couldn't bring myself to like. Well, she became part of the group, and I told myself I was wrong and went out of my way to be more friendly. After being with our group for awhile, she told us she had been diagnosed with cancer. We all chipped in to help her out during the difficult time, cleaning her house, babysitting her kids, etc. We even went as far as to have a small fund raiser to assist with medical bills. It wasn't until one of my group ran into her sister that we learned she never had cancer and was making the whole thing up for attention. I've had this sort of thing happen to me over and over - with everything from friends boyfriends, to contractors, to realtors, etc. - one would think I'd learn to trust my instincts by now, but... I don't believe in my case it is psychic or anything along those lines, I just think that subconsciously I pick up little signals that let me know when a person is a sociopath or problem. Unfortunately, since I am unable to pinpoint exactly what those signals are, I begin to doubt myself. At least at this point in my life my husband has learned to trust my instincts. If I feel a sudden aversion to a person he immediately becomes suspicious of that person.

Well for me, I do have instincts too. But maybe not so good as yours. Instincts like the ability to sense danger before its happens very in every person.

haha not very good..the other day i thought someone was gonna steal the purse from my mom when we were waiting to pay for stuff..jus becuz i had seen the person standing beside us earlier in the store..so i was ready to stop him..it never happened though

i think i have quite a good instinct. many things i can just understand when its going to happen. it may not be true all of the time, but i can say most of the times. I can also get to know when somebody is telling lies or truths.

I always listen to my 'gut instinct'. If a situation doesn't seem right, if a person doesn't seem right; I get myself out of the situation as quickly as I can. I can't swear that my instincts are always right, or even that they are ever right- I don't wait to find out. I figure no matter the situation, if that little voice is telling me it's not right I'm not going to ignore it find out why.

I also have instincts at times. When my mother was having surgery I just felt she was not going to make it, I had that gut feeling. My sister in law kept telling me it was all going to be ok but I knew better. Sure do wish my gut instinct was wrong that time but it wasn't. The other really strong one was in Dec. of 2006, I felt horrible. I even called an ambulance and the medics told me I just had the crud and would get over it. I knew it was more than that so I had my son take me to the emergency room. My husband come home from work to go with us and by the time we got there I had stopped breathing, had double penumonia. So, it was a good thing I listened to my instinct. Other times have been just the "normal" mom instincts. haha

Me i dont have such good instinct. Im worse on it.

They sure aren't that good.

i bet i had experience such instinct but i never refer to it that's why the bad things that i actually felt to happen really happen and now im suffering from the pain that serve as bad experience in my entire year last year 2007....and now im learning to give way and act what must be done in order to take extra care when my instincts may happen to feel again the bad events may happen in my daily living....
