Yes — and very strongly. I can’t claim that my instincts are 100% accurate, but they are right most of the time. I believe instincts aren’t some supernatural power; they’re the understanding we build from our experiences with the world.
From babyhood, we begin interacting with our surroundings. An empty mind slowly starts observing, remembering, and storing information in different ways. A child might jump from a height without logic or fear, but with time, we start sensing what’s safe, what’s risky, what feels right, and what feels “off.”
Our instincts are shaped by these accumulated interactions. They help us read situations, places, and people even before we consciously process what’s happening. In my case, my instincts have saved me from real trouble more than once. And even in the moments they failed, the cost was small.
So yes, I do believe in instincts. And my instincts tell me that a few of you will probably agree with me on this.
