Should we trust our first instincts? Why or why not?

[LadyEmeraude]

Trusting my first instincts have proved well for me many times, but not all the time...

How do you feel about it with yourself?

 

[Nathan]

In general, yes.

 

[Disgustedman]

If you observe red flags in a situation, place or person and ignore them. Well, that's in you.

 

[LadyEmeraude]

I am wondering too if first instincts and intuition are the same?

 

[Warrigal]

You should certainly think about gut feelings and proceed with caution.

 

[Jamala]

I treat my first instincts with great awareness...then I usually investigate further to see if my first instincts were right.

I am about 50/50 on that, but it seems to me that spending a lot of time thinking about things only rarely improves my odds...

Guess the message is don't put too much trust in Rob's instincts and not much more in his reasoned opinions...
