What is it about how sometimes, not very often, how you just don't like someone. For no real reason. I'm a pretty mellow guy, easy to get along with.
Is it some kind of psychic type of thing, something subliminal, subconscious. I saw this guy today at the grocery store and he just didn't seem right to me. He looked untrustworthy, maybe even dangerous.
Not fair, cause maybe he is just some average Joe and I'm assigning nefarious traits to the poor guy.
It can very well be subliminal subconscious or gut instinct...sort of like an electrical vibe. I remember being in a store and there were these two young girls like maybe 13 years old at best and there was this guy in line behind them and this guy gave me the weirdest vibe and my instincts immediately kicked in and I didn't want him to follow the girls outside of the store so I leaned over in the lane and said to them, they'll ring up what you have in the back counter of the store and the girls trotted off to the back register and I was relieved. There was just something about him that troubled me.
There is a book about this very thing worth reading and it's called, "The Gift of Fear" I highly recommend it, it's very good and speaks about this very thing.

I'd say it was your gut intuition kicking in. I would always err on the side of caution and trust it to protect yourself, just in case.
This happens to me with both men and women in a variety of places. If I sense something isn't right, I try not to have any interaction with that person at all. I do my transaction and get the heck out of there.
That reminds me of that famous book that guy wrote about trusting your senses when danger is near or you just don't trust the person who's giving off those vibes. You go with your gut.
See, Thursday007 already beat me to it! She knows!

Reason: Poster above already mentioned the book and author!
Pretty unnerving exercise we did once - one had to stare on the other's person's eyes, deeply, and say, "I trust you" or "I don't trust you", (truthfully, based on the feeling they got), and do so with the rest of the people. Invoking the subconscious? Very surprising results.
Creepy. One time, I was doing that "internet" dating thang, and met a guy at Starbucks, he looked "okay" but I don't know, just something seemed "off" to me. For whatever reason...I left quickly, and never let him know where I lived or anything. Who knows? But he just creeped me out.
People creep me out all the time. It's a gut instinct and I am usually right if I feel like someone's light bulb is burnt out....better to be safe and cynical than dead and mutilated.
