I know it is true that when you have a gut feeling about something, it is right about 99 percent of the time. I've just wondered how you know if your gut feeling is wrong. I never really thought of it since my gut feelings are right most of the time, but how do you exactly know when it isn't? Is it basically taking chances? Just curious. Not so much anymore, but in the past, I've ignored gut feelings that something wasn't right. Usually had to do with someone using me, treating me poorly, or even a situation that would turn out bad.

In my efforts to not seem paranoid or jump to conclusions, I ignored some of them. And of course, whatever I feared would happen, happened. And even do this day, I wish I hadn't ignored my gut feeling since I am sure, with entire certainty, that some negative experiences could have been avoided. To this day, I wish I could have been smarter about it. I take blame for that. So, how do you exactly know if your gut is wrong? I know it can be at times but it is very rare. Anyone have any ideas? Just wondered. Usually they are right 99 percent of the time but I do know they can be wrong at times.
