I'd seen Gavin de Becker on Oprah years ago. Shortly after, I was getting into the elevator to head up to my 8th-floor apartment. Two men followed me into my building. I immediately felt uneasy about them. One followed me onto the elevator, the other did not. A third man, a tenant who'd entered with a key, joined us on the elevator. So when my neighbor got off on the 4th floor, so did I. I then hauled tailed up to my apartment. I attribute not only my willingness to trust my intuition (the gift of fear) but I gave zero f**ks about hurting that predator's feelings. I'm pretty confident that I saved my life that day. Thanks, Gavin.

I grew up being taught to "be nice", be polite, not hurt people's feelings, etc. All very good things to teach a child. I wish I had also been taught that there are predators out there and how to protect myself more.

I was once walking alone in an underpass and I met a guy in the middle of that underpass walking towards the opposite direction . When I pass him by , For some reason I turned my head and suddenly he was walking behind my back. I run as fast as I can , I didn’t care if he thinks of me as crazy if he was actually not a bad person. I didn’t stop running until I was in the park where there are other people.

Honor your feelings - if someone makes you uncomfortable, that is an important signal. It's okey to rebuff and defy others. Say NO. It's OKay to be assertive. It's okey to ask for assistance or help. It's okey to strike or injure the assailants as hard as you can if you are in danger.

Cats are often good at gauging who is a safe person and who isn’t. Cats aren’t nearly as trusting as dogs on average.

Animals sense your fear ... your intuition.
@kristinstrickland103810 ай бұрын
They absolutely do! This a great series, but Gavin was wrong about this. Dogs and cats can sense the evil in a person. They have the gift of fear too.
@lawrencole19642 ай бұрын
Yeah Gavin kind of contradicts himself on that when he talks about how wild animals will never not react to their intuition while saying dogs don't have any. I would however agree a dog liking someone isn't a GOOD sign, there have been serial killers and bad people (look at Hitler) who loves animals but if your normally friendly dog, cat, or horse is terrified or angry at someone you should pay attention.
