“trust your gut” is dangerous advice when anxiety causes you to perceive everything as a threat. like if i trusted my gut all the time i’d probably never do anything ever
i like the phrase “hone your gut” more. go through more and more experiences so you’re able to process information more efficiently, and at that point you actually would have the refined ability to distinguish what’s worthy of your time from what’s not. your gut would be trained to know based off things you’ve been through before, not just nebulous feelings
