NGKUR (w/ Poll): "Gut" Feeling

[mlgnumbers]

In the thread that discussed moving for a job, many people referenced "trusting your gut." I was curious. Do you get gut feelings? If so, are they usually correct or incorrect? Do you make decisions based on your gut feelings?

[mlgnumbers]

My mom always claimed to have a strong intuition, and she'd constantly use a "gut feeling" as her reasoning for certain decisions. I rarely agreed with her decisions, so I grew to be quite suspicious of her gut feelings. However, as I've gotten older, I've started to realize what she meant. I don't know how to describe it other than to call it a gut feeling. However, I don't tend to trust them enough to make decisions based solely on my intuition.

mlgnumbers I thought for sure you were going to say you felt pregnant again. Thank you for not doing that.

I get a "gut" feeling whenever I eat at Buffalo Wild Wings, but I don't think that's what you meant...

I haven't even ovulated yet, so that would be quite the intuition.

However, we're facing a possible 3100 mile relocation (after an 1100 mile relocation 18 mos. ago.) My gut is feeling distinctly nauseated, but I can't discern if it's because it's just so quick after our last whirlwind or if it's because there's something under the surface that's truly not good about this opportunity. I suppose time will tell.

This is interesting!

I am a logician at heart, so I don't give my gut enough credit, probably. I think I tend to dismiss my gut feelings and think more through facts.

I started that moving for a job thread, and I thought it was very interesting how many ladies recommended trusting my gut.

I accepted a job a few years ago thinking it would be a good career move, but on my last day at my old job I had a serious bad feeling. (Like, bad enough that I spent much of the day sobbing.) The new job turned out to be a complete disaster and sent me into a state of depression, and I wound up quitting three months in. I am now much more likely to "trust my gut."

I absolutely trust my gut. This might sound stupid to some, but I believe I may be an empath. Not a psychic or anything, just an empath.

I had a job where I wanted to run out the door crying the first day. I chalked it up to having worked with my mom and on campus where I was comfortable for years. I stayed for 13 horrible months. I took a temp job for 6 months and chalked up my comfort to it being on campus and right next to the building where the majority of my classes were. 

Then I started my current job and was at home from day 1. Turns out my gut was right about that other job. They fucking sucked.

Holy poll options...

I have a very good intuition when it comes to situations and people. It's normally very easy for me to make a decision bc I am logical but I also go with what I feel. My current job was my first offer. All of my family told me I shouldn't take the first one to come but I felt right at home with the company and got a really good vibe from the people. 4 years later and I still love coming in every day.

I don't get gut feelings often, but when I do I trust them. I chalk it up to subconscious observations.

Seeing a poll from this screen name, made me very nervous for a minute.

My gut is telling me I need to shit right now......

I do this as well. As of yet, nothing bad has come of it though.
