Do you believe in intuition?

In this poll I want to invite everyone to take part and answer the question: Do you believe in intuition? It’s really an interesting topic. In my own life, intuition sometimes brought very useful things. Many times I felt that I should not do something, I didn’t do it, and later it turned out it was very good that I didn’t. Often intuition tells me if I should deal with some everyday matter or not, and here it really works well.

I even say intuition understands women better than we do, and it feels like we should trust our intuition. It’s also important when you want to make some big decision, especially with finances, and something inside you says “don’t do it.”

Do you believe in intuition? My story of how I didn’t trust it and lost $15,000.

I had a personal case when I wanted to invest fifteen thousand dollars in one company that later turned out to be a pyramid scheme. Right before I sent them the money, there were already two important signals. My intuition told me not to, but the desire to make money was still stronger. And just before I topped up their account, their PayPal transfers started to get blocked. People complained that the company wasn’t paying them.

Then I went on their forum, and a person with the same rare name as mine wrote to me and asked me to join him on Skype. He explained that the PayPal block was a very important sign and said I should trust my intuition and not send any money. He himself had already pulled all his funds out.

My intuition was screaming that this was dangerous, but I ignored it, and after some time I lost the whole amount. That’s why I’m asking now: Do you believe in intuition? If yes, share your story — how intuition helped you in some situation, or maybe didn’t help, when you felt something but still went against it.
