Humans are built to learn, sometimes without even knowing it. You could pick a book to read. During this process, you might think you are not getting or understanding what you are reading, but when asked later about what you have read, you find yourself giving a detailed explanation of the book, which you thought you never understood.
Our instinct also works like that, we gather information and experiences from past events and in split seconds, we find ourselves sure of a solution, or an idea or our guts being sure of a definite answer even before our logical mind could decipher the occurring event.
You find yourself sure that something is not right when others believe that it is right, being able to judge a person’s character immediately you meet them, and you remain right even when it is said that we should not be quick to judge the character of a person.
As a person, I trust my intuition 100 per cent of the time. When my guts tell me something, I usually go with it; going against my guts mostly becomes an issue for me, it always becomes a burden on my heart, because my brain recognises an error in what my logical mind is saying at the time versus what my subconscious self is well aware of, and until I follow my guts, my mind never finds rest. When something is right, I just know it, and I also know when something is wrong.
I usually analyse every situation and scenario, playing out every event and happening over and over in my head before I get a good judgement of it sometimes, and because of this constant thinking and analysis process, I seem to have developed a gut that helps me in making a decision with a viable outcome.
While the golden rule is "don't judge a book by its cover," it is also true to know that human survival has always depended on our ability to read the room or a person instantly. A person with an active analytical mind like mine, it is safe to say that an instant judgment on a person’s character is not based on prejudice, but on a sharp intuition.
I have had numerous times where I judge a person’s character differently from what others say about the person, because of how the person must have presented himself initially to the group and always end up being the right person all along. My instinct has always been a good judge of character, as I have tested it and have come to trust it for many years. When I go with my instinct at any time, I end up being right all the time.
Most humans are with the idea of giving a good first impression and will try their very best to be a better version of themselves, thus giving a false presentation of their true character. Because of my intuition, people who try to hide their character they first time we interact, always fail. I may choose to ignore those traits, but I am always aware of their existence.
