or I suppose more accurately, opinions

have you ever had a strong gut feeling telling you not to do a thing?

And how often has it been right or wrong, from what you could tell?

we've applied for a place and have been offered it, but something in me is screaming not to take it, even though the place is fantastic on paper

and we have till tomorrow at 2 to decide

basically I'm trying to work out whether this is cold feet or whether to trust this gut feeling

a relative of mine actually had a gut feeling about a new house that she and he husband were looking at, decided to keep looking - i think later they discovered that there were plumbing issues and whatnot at that house

but honestly, gut feelings are tricky things

i p much always trust my instincts. I have yet to actually be wrong about them when it comes to people or places.

and yours, in my experience, are very good too. I'd trust the feeling

do you absolutely need or want to take this place? if it doesn't feel right, and you have the option, keep looking

sdfkh ugh. XD I was hoping one of you would tell me I was wrong

Shad, we don't absolutely need to take this place, but... I am worn the hell out on house hunting and continue to be unwell in our current place, so I badly want out

and Dray doesn't feel gross about the place, it's just me, so that complicates things

I really want to be wrong, I guess

And I mean, I am an anxious person, that's a thing.

Not often, and sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong

I had some minor anxiety over the place we're currently in, and bam, it turns out we're having to move out because of allergies

and I've definitely gotten what I can only refer to as bad feelings about a couple of other places we've looked at, but I've been able to pinpoint what caused them in both cases, and vetoed the place

this one I can't pin down any particular thing that's setting it off

and... the signals are so confused re: previous anxieties that I don't really trust my own assessment of my gut feelings: sometimes I've been really right, other times I've been way the hell off base

it's a gamble

Update, so we went and looked again, and because my dad is in town we brought him along

I feel less weird and gross about it now, so... probably was just anxiety

thank you guys for listening

hugs, I'm glad you're feeling less anxious about it now

thanks guys. <3

it was useful, and moreover actually doing something about the anxiety really helped
