Many persons wont do something if it goes against their gut feeling .I am wondering how scientific is a gut feeling or its not about science any at all,maybe its the sixth sense no one told you about.
I wont bash gut feeling but I am wondering how reliable it is and how often should you trust it.Is it possible that your gut feeling may lead you wrong and you miss out on an important opportunity.
What is your experience ?

I also call this my inner voice. I don't think you can prove it scientifically but we all have it. Some people also call it the sixth sense. In my own experience in life I must say most of the time when I ignored my inner voice the outcome was not good. I can't say though if this gut feeling, inner voice or sixth sense is ever wrong. I think some people have a stronger inner voice than others.

Hello ronnyb!
I do teust my gut or feeling sometimes. But it still depends. If it's something very important and very rare oppurtunity, even if I have some bad feeling about it, I still go with it. Like what my husband said I'm a go getter! It's a one time oppurtunity and sometimes our gut is not true or it's just the effect of being afraid over some sort of things.

What you call gut feeling I call my inner voice, and I think the inner voice is there to guide us, I am not religious but I do have spirit beliefs, and I think the inner voice has something to do with that, I think we should all listen to that inner voice...we are being guided...

Yes I trust my gut feeling with my son I can tell when he is up to something or is having problems and try to find out ,sometimes I do,sometimes I find out weeks later ,I had a gut feeling my grandughter had a chest infection ,my son in law took her to the doctors on my gut feeling and the doctor said your mother in laws right it has just started,I get a gut feeling about people ,I say I don't like the look of him or her and normally not disapointed.I should imagine being burnt as a witch in the old days ,mind you my gut feeling would have told me to be quite about my gut feelings.x
