My intuition has been quite strong my entire life, I just didn’t realize it, I was interpreting what I was feeling based on what older folks who wanted control were telling me about myself.
As I grew older, I became much more introverted. To be alone with my thoughts. To learn why I feel things the way I do.
Intuition is your survival instinct.
However, in a world where everyone lives to be 100, most people don’t need to heed their intuition to survive. Ever.
Your intuition is anxiety. Anxiety is good. Anxiety means you need to move away from that situation. If you let someone else decipher your anxiety, they’ll make you feel like it’s just you; NEVER give another human the opportunity to TELL you what you’re feeling. You can never come back from that — they have just assumed control of your feelings and will take advantage of that when the time is right. They might tell you that you have depression so they can tell the boss they helped you work out your depression and get credit for something that was never there. Or they might discredit anything you ever say again because you’re emotionally unstable thus prolonging the anxiety.
Intuition isn’t meant to be discussed with others. Since we are all animals, apex predators, intuition must be strongest in those most capable of surviving. You don’t see animals discuss with each other before they run away from something scary — they just start running because they want to survive.
This world creates problems so it can create solutions, remember that.
Not everyone put in charge of you is there to help you. On a micro scale concerning individual interactions, you have most likely encountered individuals whom act illogically over and over prolonging the issue at hand and asking for help over and over or a boss constantly changing the rules once you’ve gotten the current system down pat.
When there is a clear divergence between logic and emotion, and the edge begins to rise in your chest, remove yourself from the situation. Don’t discuss it with others.
