I have this book, titled The Gift of Fear. It tells us to pay attention to warning signs, such as the feeling the hair on the back of your neck standing up, in order to protect ourselves. He said that most victims say afterwards that they had just such a bad feeling and chose to ignore it. By choosing to pay attention to our unease we protect ourselves better than using our reason. :)
I agree 100% I have lived a rather charmed life by listening to my instincts. People should do that more than trying to think things to death. :-)
