have i got a sixth sence?

Question

ever since i can remember when i meet people for the first time thoughts rush thru my head such as what kind of a person they really are,good points, nasty points etc. these thoughts always come to mind every time i see that person and it's like my instincts make my mind up for me, it always proves to be right in the end, for e.g. i met this girl, going out with my boyfrirnds brother and the first thing to come to mind was be careful, i thought well i have to give her a chance as we would be spending alot of time together, eventually we became great friends, i chose to ignore my instincts. a year rolled by and one of my best mates called me aside and informed me that my so called new friend had been telling everyone that i was an anorexic who took drugs to slim down, that everybody hated me including her, that i was only a "@$% . i was shocked but my instinct was shouting i told you so. have i bored you to death, if not what do you think?

Answer 1

You might not have a 6th sense but you probably are just very in tune with your strong intuition. I can usually judge a person when I first meet them as well and 9 times out of 10 my instincts were right. Actually, these instincts (for me and maybe you as well) go beyond people to all things in my life.

Embrace your intuition and listen to it. A lot of people can't or just choose not to.

Answer 2

According to Buddhist thinking everyone has the sixth sense but few people actually use the faculty, for the six sense is your inner Mind.
Your inner mind is where intuition springs from and a great deal of common sense.
When people talk of having a gut feeling about a situation, it is their inner mind, or the subconscious influencing the conscious mind, or intellect.
It is when you allow the two areas of the mind to converge together that one gets the term contemplation.
The Intellectual part of the mind is used to translate the thoughts from the subconscious into an understandable thoughts of reason.
The sixth sense probably is a natural instinct which our ancient ancestors used to survive the forces of nature.
When the tidal wave hit parts of south east Asia, a small Aboriginal tribe on an island off the coast of India survived whilst others from the more developed areas did not, is largely due to their naturally honed instinct (six sense)
They could tell by the behaviour of animals and birds, that some natural disaster was about to be fall their island.
The inhabitants acted upon their instincts and sought higher ground, unlike the western tourists who watched the wave come ashore, and sadly drowned in the flood waters.
Meditation has always been a good practise for reawakening the inner mind the sixth sense, along with not losing touch with our natural world.
As for the girl you met, I believe people give off auras, or slight characteristic traits that we gain a subtle inclination of; if we then take notice of theses feelings by way of our intellect then it is possible to find the measure of the person.

I think what you're doing is reading people's non-verbal language, which can form a huge part of how someone presents themselves. If you unconciously pick up defensive or aggressive body language, you'll automatically be on your guard, and get the impression that you feel an 'off' vibe...

Some people pick up these cues better than others, and I think it's the main basis for your 'gut instincts' about someone.

However, it's important to understand that you might be mis-interpreting signals, and write off someone before giving them a chance.

Answer 4

Maybe............. But most people that you meet and become friends of nearly always turn out to be a sad person who gets off on belittling other people or they only seem to be happy when another person fails in something. Or they try to stick the knife in one way or the other.

It's always best to be wary, and probably just an instinct that we use because we have been hurt in the past by others.

Its just how a lot of people are.

I can count my true friends on one hand and that's the way I like it.

Answer 5

Trust your instinct and e-mail me.
Could not e-mail you... :)

I think there is something in trusting your instincts and not overriding it. Having said that, if everyone judged a person by instinct it wouldn't be very fair. A pity she behaved in the way she did, but that's people for you.

Answer 6

over the finest six years or so I really have stepped ahead a habit of going right into a psychological state on matters which incorporates attempting to be extra useful in life, the exclusion of those round me who convey with them detrimental emotions and that i have got here upon that the psychological states that i talk of advance a momentum of their own the position they grow to be actual motivators.The extra i bypass into those modes the better it receives to split my inner self from detrimental exterior impact.with the flexibility to work out 4Th length is the incorrect frame of mind to an quite actual progression interior the means to carry close extra. i imagine what you describe as sixth experience is an means which could be stepped ahead by one and all.We only should be dedicated in operating in the route of the repetitious and uneventful chore of psychological progression the position the end products aren't from now on very dramatic yet fairly actual.to respond to your question ..convinced we can,yet no longer with the drama that we are socialised to anticipate.

Answer 7

Just Trust your Instincts - Oh and learn to Spell

Answer 8

most people have a gut instinct about people and dont follow it and then kick themselves for not following it. its normal girls can be silly most people know that anorexics dont take drugs to slim they just dont eat. if they were your friends they would know that these aligations were false and stick by you if they dont they were not your true friends in the first place.

Answer 9

I've had similar feelings. I'll meet someone for the first time & feel that I already know them. Sometimes they're bad, but sometimes, they're good. Not to get into religion with a psychology question, but it could be reincarnation. You might have known her before.

Answer 10

it is not called sixth sense but just feeling.... you have this feeling evrytime you meet a new person and this is normal.. it's the same one you have when you meet nice people... sometimes you are right and sometimes else you are wrong... it's life said frank sinatra in a song....
