Do you think that gut feeling or intuition is our future self warning us?

Question

Someone mentioned how what if that gut/intuition feeling is really our future self warning us. Couple years ago I went to meet up with my now ex but a voice inside me and gut feeling said don’t do it but I ignored anyways. I do wish I listened that day. Or is it simply our fight or flight?

Answer

There are studies that show that this „gut feeling“ mostly stems from our brain reacting to things in our environment we subconsciously notice and combine to warn us from a potential threats. It’s a survival mechanism.

Answer

I voted incorrectly. It's more like your past self and your ancestors warning you if you want to look at it separate from biological processes.

Answer

I do believe in strange gut feelings only because I’ve had a few myself that turned into crazy things
two I specifically remember because they let to big things ..
Typical Wednesday night back in college went over my friends to watch American horror story like we did every week. It was snowing out. Midway thru the episode I felt uneasy, anxious, like something bad was happening. Went outside to hve a smoke and try to shake it. Told myself it was nothing. Found out the next morning at that very same time I felt that way a friend was killed in a freak accident on the roads during the snow 
About 6 years ago I woke up one winter morning and just had a bad gut feeling something was going to happen that day. But again can’t call my work and say “hey something bad might happen today don’t know what so I’m not coming” so I got dressed and left for work. Not even a mile from home I Hit a sheet of black ice on a hill, hit another car coming the opposite way head on then slid over a guardrail where I finally came to a stop. Car completed totaled. I somehow only walked away with cuts, and bruises but it was one of the scariest experiences of my life.

Answer

I like to think it’s a guardian angel. 
That being said, I don’t fully believe that. It’s just something that makes me feel good.

Answer

If your future self is someone who may be wisely led by and wisely respond to their intuition, then yes.

Answer

I think intuition is an animalistic survival sense. And it goes more in depth than just danger, but gives us abilities to read people at deep levels and smell fear or minuscule changes in the air, so to speak. A part of our subconscious mind that is expert at picking up on subtle things we don’t always notice consciously (strangers emotions, something another person is telling us with body language or other non verbal cues, adrenaline someone else is feeling that we pick up on which tells us they might be preparing for something dangerous).

My fiancé and I were in a semi truck, when I there were some accidents that we had avoided it was crazy. One morning we woke up late and a couple of hours before there was a really bad accident that happened with a semi truck coming over to the other side of the highway and hit another semi truck , a car and a van full of kids going to Disney world.
