Feeling, Vibes, Intuition - Things That Make You Go Hhhhmmm

Updated on February 23, 2012
C.O. asks from Reston, VA

I know not everyone believes in premonitions and those "spiritual" things. I hope I can type this to make sense.

When I meet someone - I usually get a vibe from them - warm fuzzy, cold prickly, head on fire. I also sense things - like spirits, etc. I know other mom's on here feel the same way about that.

There are times when I will get a feeling - good, bad, etc. When the person is not right for me and my life or family - my head will get hot - like on fire - and that's it. I can't be around that person. There are times - like when my dad went into his diabetic coma - I was thinking of my dad all day - my head was warm but not hot - so I thought - great my dad's gonna cut another tip of his finger off in the garage! LOL! :) It persisted throughout the day and I did call him - he was fine - I tried to shake it. Any way - you know what happened there. Other instances have happened throughout the years - something is not right - I will get an image, name, etc in my head...

After knowing each other and being together for 18 years - my husband knows when to listen to my "head". Well, today - my head is on fire and there is no image, no name, etc. I'm trying to distract myself - but when it came on - I wanted to cry. So I told my husband - who really does trust this "intuition" of mine. He's trying to ask questions to see if he can help bring it to the surface. No avail - so we decided to let it ride. Do other things and see what happens.

So IF you get feelings like this and nothing is coming to you - just the sense of something is NOT RIGHT - what do you?
I have prayed about it. I asked God to lead me where He needs me.
I've talked to my husband about it.
What do you do? what would you do?

What can I do next?

I am one that picks up on wether someone is a good person or not..I know almost right away if something isn't right about someone for example my husbands coworker came over to pick up the aquarium that we were giving him and he brought a friend with him and the minute he came in my house I felt like I needed to hide my children somewhere safe and he made my skin crawl he didn't even say anything and my kids were not even in the room but i felt like I needed to hide them somewhere that he couldn't get to them I told my hubby that he was NEVER allowed in my house again and he hasn't been here since..he was creepy his vibe made the hair on my arms stand up and my skin crawl that is the worst reaction that I have ever had to anyone

I don't really get these feelings. I have met people that I just don't "like". I don't know *why*, its just something about them. But other than that, I don't feel anything else. I hope its not anything serious! Keep us posted. xoxo

Stop watching Fox News, lol, it's pure evil.

I have had these eerie feelings before. I also go with my instinct whether a person is a good *fit* for my life and if I will or will not allow them in my life.

It may feel like a curse to have these feelings but use them for good, meaning; be cautious, do only safe things (this is very broad, like don't go skydiving, don't invest in risky things), stay close to family, be aware of your surroundings.

Also understand sometimes you cannot do anything about outcomes. So with these feelings just be ready for whatever happens; good or bad. And tell God you are putting it in his hands.

Best wishes

answers from Appleton on

Sometimes when there is nothing wrong with close freinds and family members but we still get 'that feeling' it is caused by an upcoming national emergency. Many people had a bad feeling that something was gonna happen in the weeks and days preceding 9-11. The simply couldn't put a finger on what it was. What you are feeling could be anything from a bad storm to another terrorist attack coming.

Try to meditate -- just relax in a quiet room and breathe. I find it works better when I sit on the floor or in nice weather outside on the ground. Once you are in a meditative state try to find the source of the feelings. Hopefully, something will come to you. It doesn't always work--sometimes we aren't supposed to know specifics.

answers from Dover on

I don't get anything quite so forward as you, but the older I get the more I'm learning to listen to my intuition because it's pretty much always right. I've had a handful of times in my life where something or someone just didn't feel quite right. A few times it's been strong enough to raise the hair on the back of my neck. When that happens, I know I need to delve further into it & each & every time, there's has been something very DEFINITE that, with little to no digging to uncover, there it was & definitely required my immediate attention.

With all that being said, I can't think of a time that I felt that way & it didn't come to me in a matter of a few hours. I think I might very well try to go to the movies or something like that to take my mind off of it. I can't really see how dwelling could potentially improve the situation, unless you're able to mentally clear your head enough so whatever that's trying to come through is able to.

I wish you & yours a happy, healthy day. I'll be thinking about you.

answers from Seattle on

I've had those types of feelings last for weeks or event months. My husband "gets it" but tells me to just let it go. What I've done is try to figure it out. I call family and have casual conversations just to see if by chance they might be going through something.

I also try to release all the negative energies within myself that are there for whatever reason. I meditate, do yoga, exercise, and keep my brain otherwise fully active. There have been some I've never been able to pinpoint until quite some time later. I think it's great you have a husband who not only supports your gift but also gives you another outlet for it. Hope you figure this out soon.

answers from Boston on

Same as you. I pray. I have been overwhelmed by large intuitions and aware of little persistant ones. I consider them a gift that I am supposed to pay attention to, but not let myself be obsessed with. They always remind me to be in touch with all of those I love or who need me more often.

For now, I hope you are at peace with your prayers and know that God lead you where he wants you (even if it is in a state of confusion right now).

answers from Washington DC on

I do get vibes from people. I'm a very quiet person. When I meet people (I've worked in retail and even just being out and about), I pretty much observe and study people. There are some people that I will even just be walking by at the mall and I get a weird vibe from and I make a note in my head of what they look like just incase anything happens I can remember them. About 6 years ago I was working as a checker at albertsons (local grocery store) and there was a guy who would come in EVERY single night at 9:30 and just buy 1 thing with cash. He creeped me out! He would lean in as I would take the money and brush his fingers over mine and give me the most bone chilling look. Then he would smile and walk away like he knows it bothered me. It got to the point that if anyone would see him walk into the store, they would come and take over for me and I would take a break in the back of the store. Even other customers in line noticed it and would say things like "I don't like the way that guy looked at you". Then one night it was the day before new years eve. I got a horrible feeling that something bad was going to happen if I went into work on new years eve. It really made me just sick and I KNEW if I went in, I wouldn't be going home. I ended up quitting on the spot and never went to work becuase I wasn't going to test my feeling.
So, I do get that feeling that something is wrong or just odd vibes from people.

Meditate. Sit quietly and see if anything comes to you that will help you.
If you believe in Angels, ask the Angels around you for a clear sign and to guide you.

Hello Cheryl,

I totally understand you. I often have the same feeling/intuition. In my case I normally can get the negative side first, and unfortunately there's absolutely nothing I can do. I just wait for the bad news to come. When I have a strong feeling that something is going to happen I just pray and ask God for the best.

I hope everything turns out well.

answers from Bloomington on

I get where you are coming from....I think. I've experienced this type of thing a few times in my life, but nothing consistent. When I have had dreams of people I haven't talked to in awhile, I'll send them a note asking about them.

I do believe in my internal gut feeling and I've learned to listen to what's going on around me. I feel I had this experience last week - when the unannounced repairman came. It put up serious red flags. What I needed to realize was it wasn't the guy that I shouldn't trust, but my landlord. In just the last week we have made extra phone calls and talked to more people than we did a month ago about finding a place to OWN. It was the wake-up call I needed. Just the week before I was ready to sign the next year's lease. Funny how you need slapped up side the head by an external force....or get that gut feeling about something.

Let us know what you decide the feeling has to do with, even if it's a few days from now. Hope all is well with your family and friends. :)

answers from Kansas City on

I get what you are saying. You seem to have a deeper sense of things than I do, but I do sometimes "know" things, and sometimes it is creepy. Like I know when someone is going to call me sometimes, or some other weird stuff like that. Or I have told my husband something will happen, and it will, something out of the norm. But I have not had that nagging feeling all day, as you describe. BUT if I did, and sometimes when I feel things aren't just right, I do pray, just like you say you did. Just pray for God to keep his hand on you and your loved ones, and to guide you throughout the day, and for safety. Then leave it in his hands. That's really all you can do. I'm sorry you have that feeling, because I'm sure it can make for a long worrisome day. Maybe you could turn on some Christian radio and get some happy vibes. Hope your day is OK, and sending good thoughts your way.

I haven't had it go beyond feelings or being on edge. I would love the gift of discerning if someone I meet is not worth knowing;0) It would save me a lot of time getting to know someone and then realizing it.

If you don't know who it concerns, you just have to wait it out.

I would make sure not to do anything stupid or dangerous just in case, like drive drunk.

I'll get those feelings not quite head on fire but I will def get a something is wrong feeling. I just tell those I care about to be careful. My husband knows that I get these feelings and a few times something has come of it so if i just tell him that something is wrong he will take his precautions and I will also be super careful driving etc. Hopefully what it is will be avoided and you will wake up tomorrow feeling better.

Could be a malaise pertaining to the shape our country is in.

I've had this persistent, nagging feeling that something bad is going on. Can't put my finger on it though.

I totally believe in intuition; in fact, I believe we have barely scratched the surface as to understanding this human sense.

Of course logic is very important too.

Relax, trust god, it will come. My 3 y/o told me we needed to visit her uncle in December (she has seen him twice in her lifetime and doesn’t talk to him on the phone). I told her I’d call him and let it go. Next day she asked if I’d called. When I told her I left a message she said we should try again. Come to find out he had totaled his car the night before. I am learning to listen to gods voice and when the message isn’t clear just pray on it.

The answer will come to you. Close your eyes, breathe and relax. Don't distract yourself...let it wash over you. Reach out with your mind and pay attention to your thoughts.

And, if all else fails, you can try what I do...call everyone. Start with the person you feel pulls you the most.

The last time this happened to me, my sister was in the hospital after a seizure. She didn't want to tell me because she didn't want to worry me. Silly girl seems to forget about my "intuition." ☺

answers from Norfolk on

I am with most others. I too get these. I recently have had the same situation where I feel like I am going to throw up and that is a tell tale sign for me that something is going to happen. If I can't figure out immediately who I need to worry about, I say a prayer and pick up my phone. Generally the first person I that comes to mind is the first person I call. Then I start with immediate family and then go to people who are close enough to be family but aren't blood (ie: best friend, "adopted" family, etc)

I hope all is well. It is very unsettling when you can't figure it out.

answers from Pittsburgh on

Really, what CAN you do?
People often do get "bad vibes" or a feeling of impending doom...sensitives (psychics, etc.) know there is nothing that can "be done" they just have to get used to the idea that they know ("feel") it before others.
My husband is like this--as far as first impressions being impeccable.
My grandmother was like this to the point of getting "pictures" flashing before her eyes of the accident, mishap, etc. that was near. She couldn't "stop" it. But more than once when we were kids, immediately after an injury, she would call out house to ask about specific things/accidents that had occurred like "Bob's eye", "Ted's arm," etc.
TRY to remain clam.
Don't over-react.
Make sensible choices. Use prudence. Be still.
