So I keep experiencing this phenomenon over the years where I have these strong gut feelings about people and things... It is an almost instant subconscious assessment. I am not saying that I am clairvoyant or anything similar to that but I can usually make a snap judgment about something and at least about 85% of the time it tends to unfold itself within two years' time and turns out to be true. For example, my parents and doctors pressured me to have a surgery that I was convinced would not work, but I went through with it anyways. It turns out that it was wasted time and effort because the muscles were cut previously. Another time, one of the first words my friend used to describe his date was "overbearing" and at that moment in time, I knew that I never wanted to meet her and that she was going to be trouble and potentially abusive. It turned out to be accurate.
This happens frequently enough that people seem to think that I am a bit paranoid and analyze situations too much but then they come around to see my perspective. And because I decided to listen to my gut primarily (not blindly of course, I still look for evidence and observe), it has protected me from sketchy situations and unstable individuals. Is this an example of introverted intuition at work?
