How reliable is my intuition or gut when I feel that I am in danger?
People's intuition varies greatly. It's much like common sense, either you have good common sense or you have poor common sense; intuition's the same way. Intuition is also based on life experience. If someone has grown up in quiet, rural surroundings then they may not be as intuitive when they enter a city environment, and vice versa. I think it's important that people adhere to their gut instincts, especially when they're out in public. I speak to a lot of victims who say "I saw that guy there but I didn't want to appear afraid so I just kept walking and then he attacked me. If I only would have listened to my intuition I would have avoided this incident." In those cases, it seems their intuition was right.
