Gut feeling and stay away

Do you ever, with out an obvious reason, get a gut feeling about someone?

Do you then just follow that or do you try to reason why you should or should not do what your gut tells you to do?

 

Always listen to your gut, especially if it's saying eat pancakes.

 

Yeah, but I never learn. I try to reason my way into doing what my brain is telling me is logical, but the gut instinct always wins. Sometimes intuition is stronger than logic. For me, my intuition has been right every single time and in hindsight I could have avoided a headache if I'd just gone with it in the first place.

I don't know when I'll learn to stop second guessing myself. It's just that that annoying little voice in the furthest darkest corner of my mind saying "but what if..." is so hard to ignore.

 

Yes on the pancakes. I think the gut feeling one gets when something feels out of kilter about another person ,becomes much more developed the older a person gets. Unless the behaviour is more overt. Witness the questions and situations that some youngins' ask or get into on here and elsewhere. And sometimes subtle body language warns me off immediately. So yes-I know exactly what you're saying,but I don't think about it-I just move off,speed to be determined by the BS level or the threat level.

 

Do you have a "situation" or just asking?

 

yea always trust your feelings and vibes you receive from someone.

 

I sometimes get that feeling but never as strongly as I got it today. In the past when I have had that feeling and reasoned it away, I have regretted it. I usually pay attention to internal radar.

Today it really bothered me as I literally put physical space between me and this person. My skin crawled.

I have no logical reason to feel that way but I do not want to be around this person at all.

 

Wow. Is it someone you HAVE to be around or just a chance encounter?

 

Unless I pull my son out of hockey camp then I am not sure how to avoid this other father.

The man has nothing to do with the camp, other than his son is also involved. My son has been talking about this other kids for two days and today introduced me to his father.

Game over for me. I will not allow my son to be around this guy and I don't know why I feel that way.

I have to now come up with a reason to give my kid.

 

yes I do


and I usually give them a chance to prove me wrong..but most don't

 

Damn,that's too bad. It wouldn't be right to deprive your kid from playing, but you are definately on to something about the father. I guess the obvious (and not very helpful) is for your son and you to always be busy if some kind of relationship developes between your kid and the man's son. Maybe your kid is old enough to understand how you feel?

 

I know it's going to be weird coming up with a reason that won't make your son think you're crazy, but if it's involving your child then you should most probably go with the feeling...

 

I am going to have to talk to him about it but he is not going to understand that I have a bad feeling about this man.

His son seems like a nice enough kid. My son wanted to invite him over for a swim and sleep over and I said I had to meet his parent first before he said anything to the other kid.

I am concerned as if I have him over, it is really then impossible for me to tell my son that he can not go over there. I know that will come.

I am going to have to tell him but other than telling him that this man give me the absolute creeps, it is hard enough for me to reason that one out let alone him.

It is the strangest situation I have had in that I have not ever reacted so strongly to anyone like that before. Even tonight when I think about the whole thing I get the creepy feeling.

 

Man!! That's rough. I guess just tell him and let the chips fall where they may. Keep your powder dry. Good luck.

 

Thanks to all of you. I think maybe I needed to write it out. I am going to tell him tomorrow on the way there and he will have to accept it as I am not going to allow this person near us.

I am getting this feeling for a reason. No clue why but I am.

 

I always trust my gut feelings

 

I no longer question my instincts or energy read outs I get about others or any major decision..

I do not enjoy being burned. The person who crosses me does not enjoy the consequences of their actions, either.

Want to loose money in business? If so, go against your gut feelings, later you will be pissed at yourself for not paying attention.

Edit: This involves your kid? Fucking trust your feelings and stay away.

 

It depends on the situation. In situations where I am the only one at risk, then I'll usually give people the benefit of the doubt. However, since your concern is for your son's safety, then I say follow your gut. You can never be too careful when it comes to you children.

 

Yes, Every Day, I Believe The Correct Term For It Is "Getting Olde And

Wise"....

No Matter How Rosey Something Looks On The Surface, If GLEN Gets

A Gut Feeling Something Stinks, Then I Always Go With My Gut...

In My Opinion Tis The Only Good Thing About Getting Older And

Uglier.................*starts sobbing*..



Cheers Glen.

 

my instincts haven't failed me yet and they got quite a workout during my early years. i do what they tell me and figure it out later, simply because it's interesting.
