on listening to your body

Do you ever do that thing where you listen to your body and it turns out that your body is in some ways, very clever, and in other ways, deranged?

It’s like when people say, listen to your gut; and whenever I listen to my gut it’s saying you’re about to be murdered, or, your best friend hates you, or, your boyfriend is going to leave you, or, you are going to be evicted. I have very strong instincts and impressions of people and ideas about things and what will happen next, and occasionally they are impressively right. When I am right, people are amazed. I am so good, my instincts are so good, when they are right.

But almost all the time they are totally wrong.
