One of the signs of immaturity is judging others by their social or physical differences, rather than by their skills, effort, and accomplishments.\n\nYou're new. You're different. Expect people to be "judgemental" until you have been there for a while. If you work on your studies, maybe join a club focusing on improving the school and/or community, you'll start to fit in eventually.

Intuition is a mental, mind factor.  It is quite real, and without it, it would be very difficult for us to make progress beyond what we already know.  So totally ignore those who say it does not exist.\n\nAll mental faculties are like muscles.  They develop to the extent they are used.  There is a mind ministry to humans and this is spatial, like radio waves are spatial.  There is a Spirit of Intuition, one of the basic seven ministering to us (there are others, mostly pertaining to advanced humans).\n\nIf you watch the Court TV channel, you will notice countless incidents of police receiving help from psychics.  I do not know how their skills are derived, but I do know those skills are quite real.\n\nI personally believe intuition is stronger in females generally.  \n\nI do not know of any good books though.  I would suggest you contact some people who have the skills which you wish to acquire, and then ask them how these were developed.  That works for all skill areas.\n\nBut, before you do that, I would suggest buying a copy of THE URANTIA BOOK* and reading about MIND in the many sections throughout this book.  In particular, get a handle on the Seven Adjutant Mind Spirits involved in ministering to humans.  This will help you to correctly judge between those people who are likely to be good teachers and those who are not.  I would strongly recommend staying away from witches and any person whatsoever who adopts exalted names or titles.\n\nI have noticed none of those amongst the people aiding the police on Court TV.  If you go to the Court TV website, you can probably find leads to some of these people, mostly female, contact them and ask some questions.\n\nYou may consider this the scientific viewpoint of a much older person who has done lots of work and thinking in the mind, body, spirit areas.  But I am not a psychic.\n\nIf one does medical work long enough, you start thinking really hard about all of these things eventually.\n\nhttp://www.courttv.com/press/psychic.html   --excerpt\nProfessional psychic Kay Rhea and Detective Tim McFadden from the Fresno Police Department are featured in the documentary. They have worked together for about twenty years on hundreds of cases. "When the police ask for my assistance in a case I am only a tool, like their gun or their lie detector tests," states Ms. Rhea. "I am not there to solve their case for them -- I just tell them what I see in my head and they have to do the legwork."\n\n*http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=pd_sl_ov_tops-1_stripbooks_4343987_1/102-9457929-2621768?search-alias=stripbooks&keywords=the%20urantia%20book&rank=-relevance,+availability,-unit-sales

First you accept that you have them. Then you let it happen.\nSome folks think it is their intuition but, if they don't deny it they will come to realize that it is truely an ability. ( like it or not sometimes)

Your intuition is spot on.  Learn to trust that voice more.  \n\nCheers!

Jealousy is an instinctive feeling. I doubt anyone can say they don't feel it at all in certain situations.\n\nNow... how you react to jealousy is another story.\n\nFirst of all, you've got to be honest to yourself. Do you *really* know he's going to be with you forever? If you do - then what's the insecurity all about? Confront your own feers first, write them down and then prove them to yourself as untrue. When your list is down to maybe 1 or 2, take those to him and talk about it, *calmly*. You both can go over the facts and clear up some unknowns.\nYou'll both also feel much better after it's over.

Women have great intuition, but they must be careful with it.  If there is something going on, there is nothing I believe you can do to prevent it.  I do not believe you can control other peoples' behavior, only your own.  You can control how you react to a situation.\n\nIf you were my family member, I would tell you what my mother told me.  Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open.  If he's playing tomcat with her, you will know soon enough.  Your not stupid in any way.

Oh my God!  I am a tremendously intuitive and spontaneous person.  I have switched not only jobs, but also careers several times based on intuition.  So far, so good!  Following my heart has led to great success.  Some time ago I learned that you should do what you love and the money will follow.  Even if the money doesn't follow you still get to do something you love, so that ain't half bad.  As far as my personal life goes, well I'm married and I think anyone who is married has to admit that intuition played a large role in the decision to take the big step.  Again - So far, so good!  Of course my intuition and my inclination to follow it has also created some problems from time to time.  I have on rare occasions placed too much trust in the wrong individual, but it hasn't bothered me that much.  After all once I figure it out I don't make the same mistake again but they have to live with themselves forever.

Trust is both and emotional and logical act. Emotionally, it is where you expose your vulnerabilities to people, but believing they will not take advantage of your openness. Logically, it is where you have assessed the probabilities of gain and loss, calculating expected utility based on hard performance data, and concluded that the person in question will behave in a predictable manner. In practice, trust is a bit of both. I trust you because I have experienced your trustworthiness and because I have faith in human nature.

There is no way to know for sure. I believe questioning your possible complacency with regards to well-being or happiness is a healthy thing to do. Try to be confident in how you feel, as long as you're not chopping people up to feel it. Ask people directly what how secure/content/happy you seem to be from their perspective.

That depends on the person.\n\nI have been insecure since birth.

Confidence is something only you can determine. Being confident and feeling confident is two different things. Like say, if you wore a glamourous dress for prom night, you would most likely feel confident?..yes and no, It's up to you, you may be the prettiest girl, but if you think u're not, then there you are. But you may be wearing rags but at the same time have the confidence of a princess. Confidence is something only you can choose to have. Yes, there are times where circumstances make it hard for us to be confident. And one way to build confidence.. is everytime you look in the mirror, say something nice to yourself, make it a chore, every morning, say something nice to yourself, even if you don't feel like it, smile and say something nice to yourself, cause many times we don't realize it but we actually criticize ourselves a lot. Owh and be confident. Ask God to give you confidence, pray, and trust me, this is a sure way to be confident, cuz as we know, God will never deprive us of anything good and right for us. And if confidence is something you need, u can be sure God will give it to you. So when you pray, You can be sure you will have confidence, you may not feel confident immediately, but you just have to trust yourself and God that you are confident. Like for instance, maybe a real life story would make things a lil easier to understand. ( I used to be a person who had no confidence at all, due to many harsh circumstances, and because I thought I didn't have confidence, I shyed away from people, and because of that, people started not to talk to me, which made me lose even more confidence. Then one night, it struck me that God was always there for me, and He's nvr deprive me of anything good or right for me, so I asked God for confidence, being sure that God had given me confidence, I began to trust that I had confidence and talked to people, some ignored me, but some became my friends, and because of that I gained even more confidence." So all in all, what I'm trying to say is confidence starts in you, and all you need to do is to ask God to give you the confidence, then belive in yourself, and walah, You'll be a changed person. Owh and just soemthing to encourage you if hings don't happen in a snap, "It took me at least a year and a half to build back my confidence.".... so owh well, thats all for now... be confident !..

a. they're introverts, which means they need time to themselves.\n\nb. they're intuitive, which means not so into wearing their hearts on their sleeves (as opposed to S)\n\nc. they're thinking rather than feeling (see N vs. S)\n\nd. they judge rather than perceive, so they make a decision and stick with it, rather than waiting for more input such as your feeback.\n\nya gotta relax and trust that it's not a personal dig against you.\n(speaking as an intp)

Trial & error. A lot of the time your intuition will steer you in the right direction. But you will never learn to trust 'til you give people a chance. You have to let your guard down some time or another.

I had a boyfriend that went away for a job one time, I was concerned because I never completly built my trust with him. So one day I went on his laptop and found that he was chatting and meeting with other girls on his buisness trip. So I confronted him on it, he denied it, but when I brought up the fact that I had evidence he confessed to it all... I say if there is a gut feeling then you need to go with that. If you are always insecure then you just need to start over with someone else. Just confront him and ask him....

trust your spidy sence. I have found that in all my dealings with people that you have to trust your gut instinct. call it esp or whatever but the human mind can read things in people on a subconcious level. However if a gang of hoods and thugs ask's to borrow money id think twice!

Your instincts are there to protect you from danger, trust is one of the most important feelings in our arsenal of protective attributes. A women has intuition and that is of great value also if intuition tells you whoa I don't trust this then by all means FOLLOW IT!
