Like I guess biochemically or psychologically, what is happening internally for us to feel/do some instinctively?

I like Daniel Kahnemens idea of instincts. That it’s a set of learn behaviors. As someone mentioned above, it can be genetically programmed. But some situations you’ve also associated certain stimuli (noise, temperament, tones, behaviors) with certain feelings. So when you get a bad feeling, or feel you should do something, I think these are learned behaviors. People are attracted or repelled by situations based on experience.
