I do not get vibes.

I always thought it was an excuse for some people to discriminate against another based on appearance,personality,etc.

I think some people do not pick up on vibes the way others do. I also think some people go too far.

My MIL is the worst at picking up vibes.

People used to laugh off my vibes/intuition. Until I was right about everyone.
Useful tool for my line of work and I've learned now NEVER to ignore it.

"Vibes" are the conscious and sometimes physiological manifestations of unconscious reactions to someone - to the extent our unconscious allows.

With your theory, one of my long term good friends shouldn't trust me
Why would I be offended? I offered no "theory", and I was talking about MY cat. What does that have to do with you or your friends?

She's NOT like that with everyone. That's the point. The few people I have seen her act that way with were a-holes. I've had her for ten years. I am obviously not going to make all judgments based on cat behavior, but she has turned out to be a pretty good indicator.

I do possess this ability or have Extra Sensory Perception (ESP). Apparently everyone has the ability, but can be more pronounced in some, as one said, some being more sensitive. Now, if I refer to a vibe, it can mean bad or good. It is having a sense about someone or something and has to just come to me.

I mentioned an instance here some time ago. Once I was in a market and I kept seeing a guy passing by. He had no cart or basket, appeared tense and intent on something. I struck me that I got a bad vibe about him as he passed. Now, maybe he was looking for a female to follow out of the market.. I don't know. (Now, I don't mean that anyone without a cart is suspect or that every person who appears tense or preoccupied is up to no good, but some tend to take things wrong). It has to do with what comes from within.

When I had mentioned this in the past, some men acted as if I was "unfairly judging a male", based upon appearance, which had nothing to do with it. They just didn't get it. A guy may not take such care in his appearance, but not give off a bad feeling or may, while a well-dressed, attractive guy may be very creepy.. or not. (Actually, I think that topic discussed "creepiness", but since the term has been used so loosely, it can be perceived differently).

This will last right up to your first Divorce when you realize you fell for the Act despite the ESP


As it happens, I didn't like my ex husband on first meeting. I was too young and inexperienced to listen to my own instincts.
