‘Intuition is a combination of historical data, deep and heightened observation and an ability to cut through the thickness of surface reality. Intuition is like a slow motion machine that captures data instantaneously and hits you like a ton of bricks. Intuition is knowing, a sensing that is beyond the conscious understanding — a gut feeling. Intuition is not pseudo-science.’
– Abella Arthur
‘As a physician, I see fear of death permeating our health care system. Doctors shy away from patients who are dying or resort to technical language. Patients are afraid of making the passage. Relatives don't know what to say or do around the death bed. Intuition--our deepest gut feelings and knowing--can guide us if we listen.’
- Judith Orloff, MD

It activates the self-regulating neo-cortical regions which give us an incredible amount of control over our feelings. Every time we do this our rationality and emotional resilience are strengthened. When we`re not being self-aware, most of our thoughts and actions are impulsive and the idea that we are randomly reacting and not making conscious choices is instinctively frustrating.
The brain resolves this by creating explanations for our behavior and physically rewriting it into our memories through memory reconsolidation, making us believe that we were in control of our actions. This is also called backward rationalization, and it can leave most of our negative emotions unresolved and ready to be triggered at any time. They become a constant fuel to our confusion as our brain will keep trying to justify why we behaved irrationally.
I can see their irrational behaviour but they can not, how do I make them see, without a big argument as I don't like those?

I used to do this when I was a kid and as I had quite a rational brain (for a girl) I would wonder why I did that.
I tend to not react anymore but lately I had started to get frustrated as to why my hubby and my sister still do this.
I call it the Hedehog syndrome as you can't get near them, after the quills have been deployed.

Great thread! I really enjoyed it. I firmly believe in Synchronicity and Intuition as they happen a LOT to me. I'm very empathetic, and can often pick up on someone's vibrations and determine their mood. I see things in the eyes, and hear things in the tone as well that others don't. Facial expressions, etc. Here lately there have been several times where my Dad called me and I knew exactly what he wanted me for. Before he even told me....
With Regards and Respect,
