what is actually happening psychologically/physiologically when you have a “gut feeling” about something?
In: Biology
I always say that emotions are logical shorthand.
By which I mean that you don’t have an emotion for no reason whatsoever. Your emotional reaction comes from your brain subconsciously. Processing, what is going on, weighing a bunch of factors you don’t think about consciously.
So if a specific person is making you nervous, it might be because they are showing a few different micro expressions that’s they are considering doing something unethical. Or it might be that they look like somebody who hurt you in the past in some way. There is always some sort of logic going on, but it is not necessarily good or sound logic
