I've always trusted that feeling. And encourage everyone to examine it carefully when you sense it. It's saved me many many times from physical harm as both an adult and a child

If you haven't read it, I strongly recommend the book, The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker.

It was a very interesting and insightful read about where those gut feelings come from, from an evolutionary and biological perspective, and why we need to listen to them.

de Becker is one of the foremost security experts in the world.  In fact, he was doing the security for Rfk Jr before the white house decided to give him a secret service detail.
 
 Thanks for the book recommendation! 🙏 
 No problem.  I have an EPUB, I could get you, if you're interested.
