I know it is healthy to trust your gut, and often I am more right than wrong, but the damage done when wrong is often significant. How do I communicate my feelings in a healthy manner when related to trust? Sometimes I just simply do not trust and do not know how to express my insecurity. I sometimes wonder if the real problem is my ability to deduce things that by rights I shouldn't know. Do I need to learn when to leave a puzzle unsolved? Or is it better to take chances, follow my gut, and risk being wrong? Even still, how do I get better at presenting myself in these situations?

Trusting your gut is good, but your gut shout be trustworthy enough to tell you when to keep your mouth shut!
I cannot offer anything else without some examples. I do see, though, that when you are right, the payoff is small, and when you are wrong, the damage is really large and outweighs the small payoff from being right even though you get it right more often than wrong. That seems to call for an exercise in keeping your thoughts, deductions, and doubts to yourself without airing them out.
