Basically your brain is doing things it thinks you need to do to survive, without you ever thinking about it.
If you haven’t experienced a situation, and yet you still do certain things in response to it, that is instinct.
For example – Animals are born and then start to walk without ever seeing another animal do it. That’s an instinct.
