It seems that sometimes my intuition fucks with me..not somtimes but often...It seems that whenever i just do something that my intuition should help me with, I end up doing the wrong thing. This happens ALOT..For example, when im trying to do something, wether it be a simple task, like looking for something i lost, or something big, like making a sports play, the most negative thing always happens to me.

I have social anxiety, and the most rediculous things happen to me. Just today, i found out that someone, who i didnt like in highschool goes to the same college as me. I have to park a few hundred yards away from the school and walk on a sidewalk to class. I get out of my car and guess whos walking right towards me? the kid i dont like. Or when i forget something for class, the professor always picks on me to present the thing i didnt do. Or in baseball the other day. Im a cathcer and i acciently threw the ball at the helmet of the batter, the batter was someone i feel incredible anxiety towards...even in call of fucking duty. Every single predator missile hits me. Ive been counting, and the last 14 missiles in each match ive been in have hit me haha.

Shit like this happens to me on a daily basis...oh yea, and everyday that im running late for school or practice, im driving to school on country roads, and the speed limit is 55. Siince school started, every car that has been in front of me has gone below 50 to slow me down.ill video tape it sometime.....WHY DOES THIS SHIT HAPPEN TO ME??

i can make a huge list of all the things that happen by incredible chance...it seems i always choose the wrong thing..I also have rediculous anxiety and depression...could this rediculously bad luck be my intuition mixing with depression? Once in a great while im in a good mood, and things actually go good, and my intuition helps, but then I let my guard down and something rediculous happens, to continue my depression....Does this happen to anyone else?

Not to demean the rest of your post but this part required special attention:

I feel you.

...that is all.

I had to laugh at that too. It seems my Ne deductions do not always coincide with Se actions. I always get frustrated in FPS games because of it.

I don't know what to tell you, it's not something that can go away. Maybe quadruple check before doing something.

your last paragraph is contradictory and/or flippant. you posit bad luck as a possible cause of your misfortune, and then you mention the possible influence of a good mood and comcomitant positive intuition and outcomes. sounds like the problem rests squarely on your shoulders. :confused:

I don't think that has to do with negative intuition, or even bad luck. It's just, as they say, "Shit happens." And some shit might happen to some people more than others. It's probably not because some cosmic force is playing with you.

when I think of negative intuition, my most ready example is that I often "feel", sometimes very deeply, that something I lost is within a particular area, and then it's not in that area at all. my intuitive drive mislead me in my search for said misplaced object.

Ya, i also cant find objects im looking for. Later to realize they were right in front of me. And ya ur right. Shit does happen. Alot of the things that happen to me are out of my control. Its weird.

I think most of the stuff you mentioned in the OP is probably purely coincidental, unless the other people in said situations have a bone to pick and do it intentionally. but it will probably not continue this way. I understand that things like this (and depression) tend to make people entirely pessimistic (trust me, I've been down that road far too many time, and will almost assuredly be down that road many, many times before my unforeseen death) and possibly paranoid (I'm paranoid all the damn time), but let's look at this entirely realistically. Unless you or others have a direct influence in things that happen in your life, these things are entirely up to chance (and/or, a deterministic universe, which is kind of the same thing), and if you leave something to chance long enough, the opposite will happen, because the factors will be different. Key principle of science: Manipulate the variables and the results will almost certainly be different. You may be hit by predator missiles twenty times, but not being hit by one once almost instantly proves that the last twenty hits were up to chance (or maybe, the enemy who fired it just thought you were the easiest/best target?)

Wow, I'm not sure if I've written so clearly on any topic in a while. Yay being out of depression for a time (even though I was highly depressed only yesterday).
