Don't Trust Your Gut Novels & Stories

The secretary jumped back, shaking her head and practically running away from me. ... I felt deflated, and embarrassed about my impulsive behavior. But I just couldn't connect the dots between Jake and having a girlfriend. So I called everyone we knew in common. They all said the same thing - no clue he was dating anyone. My best friend laughed, asking why I didn't just ask Jake himself. I sighed into the phone. If he really had a girlfriend... Wouldn't I look like a total idiot for declaring so confidently at the supermarket that he'd never dated anyone?

My phone buzzes with messages, emails, reminders,but I ignore them all. I need to think. I need to figure out who the hell I can actually trust. Because suddenly, it doesn’t feel like that list includes anyone.

The feeling actors get in their gut and believe someone they shouldn't. But alas I didn't get that feeling! Oh no! I still felt my intestines continue to twist and turn in all directions as my mind still assessed this girl as a threat. "And why should we trust you?" I asked her, deciding to trust the unsettling feeling in my gut. "I- I don't know. I mean I understand you wouldn't want to but I can just tell you where he is and the rest is up to you. I'm just here to correct the wrong my former Alpha let happen" The girl said as she shrugged her shoulders.

I say confidently. “And that, right there, is the confidence I need you to find in everything you do out here in the field. You’re right. It's them. So, stop second-guessing yourself or looking for others to tell you that you’re right, Wendy. You have to start trusting your instincts without expecting someone else to catch your mistakes. You won’t always be right, and you should always err on the side of caution. But your instincts are good. You just need to learn to trust them,” he says. “Thanks, Hijack.”

"The numbers just didn't make any sense, none at all. There were other health issues, too. Nothing added up. You know – do you ever have a feeling, that gut feeling, that something just isn't right?" Dr. Madison nods. "Had it more than a few times," she says. "When you don't know exactly what's going on, you can't prove anything just yet and it could be something innocent, but somehow you just know it's not." "Exactly that," I say. "You gotta trust your gut," she says. "Mine is almost never wrong, and it's usually abuse I suspect. Sometimes a child, sometimes a wife, sometimes an elderly person. But I'm almost never wrong about it."

Valerie added. “Have you ever been in a spot where you know something is bad for you, like really bad, but you’ve seen signs of change and you’re inclined to give it a second chance and when you eventually do, you end up realizing that you were right from the start. Because what is bad for you will always be bad, no matter how much rebranding it goes through? That’s where I am right now and I can’t help but curse myself for not trusting my gut and listening to my heart instead.” “So this has to do with something they did to you last night, right?” Renee asked.

It was a whole new feeling and I was alright not so long ago. I decided to find out what the issue was and so I got up from the bed, put on my footwear and away I went out of the room and into the hallway, not knowing where exactly to go. I just knew something was wrong. I remembered what my dad always said to me when he was still alive. "Trust your instincts. Follow your guts. Let your heart guide you," he'd always say to me and it was a principle that he always followed.

I saw this from a mile away, before she even took the last three shots. I don't know when I became this generous and soft, because instead of leaving the stranger, it feels like I'm responsible for her. She taps my chest a few times with her index finger. "Why would I trust you to take me home?" Well, fair point. I'm a stranger, and even though I don't have any bad intentions, it might not be easy for her to be sure of that. "Trust your gut. What does it tell you?" I try. She stares at me for a while, like she's thinking deep.

His personal experience had taught him very well that without trust, no matter how strong a foundation was, it remained hollow. His lips formed into a smile which looked little suspicious to Shubham as he spoke with something undeniable in his rough voice “Earning trust is hard but keeping it is precious, once you lose trust you lose everything, the there is no going back, isn’t it MAMA??” He pressed more pressure on ‘MAMA’ word, curling his finger over thighs to stop himself from strangling this piece of garbage even though the hatred, rage and pain growing into his heart was instigating him to thrash him here and there mercilessly till he died but he would not snatch anything more from his

“Just tell him everything. Tell him what you’ve seen, what you’ve been feeling. He’ll listen.” I stood up, pacing a few steps around the room. “I just... I don’t know. What if I’m wrong? What if I misinterpreted everything?” Nina stood up as well, walking over to me and placing a hand on my shoulder. “Tiara, you’ve always trusted your instincts. They’ve served you well before. Trust them now.” I took a deep breath, feeling the tightness in my chest loosen just a little. Nina was right.
