Just a fresh perspective. To all my ladies and gents. We all know what the hell GUT FEELING IS right? YEP. Gut feeling is always right, never wrong but is it really? (I know some of you are like, not going to lie you had us in the first half there LOL) Gut feeling is one of the mechanisms in the brain subconsciously picking up the red flags in a situation or making judgements based on past actions or events, and can also be more commonly known as intuition. There is also something called ‘confirmation bias’s where we seek or favour information that reaffirms our pre-existing beliefs, ignoring anything that refutes it, it’s a fallacy aka false.
Though what I’m not going to do is write this post, acting like a saint, pretending I never wrote an angry post on Facebook saying “TRUST YOUR GUTS, GUT FEELING IS ALWAYS RIGHT.” But what I did learn is your gut feeling can be wrong. I encountered a problem with (name) that arose 2 weeks ago where the same situation happened but a different time. Of course, I told myself, that it isn’t a big deal then that same night, I had a crazy gut feeling, connecting the dots like I’m Einstein and having an AH HAH! Moment. I started to create things in my mind that wasn’t there, causing petty arguments, bringing up the same things because to me it was like déjà vu. Like fuck yeah, dealt with this, I know when something wrong but to burst my own bubble this was all in my head. In fact, I created a situation that could’ve been harmful to our relationship if prolonged, I was so focused that there was something wrong hence my brain picking up things that could be deemed as wrong. I think if not for me stopping it and being aware, it would’ve been quite detrimental to us.

We’re not perfect, we’re humans. We make mistakes. It’s okay.
