Intuition- is it real?

This is what my friend said:
Quote:
Sometimes I glance at a photo. It can be a photo of anybody. I say to myself silently (in my mind) "I am prettier than Shad's crush." (She's not the person in the photo- it's someone else. The person in the photo is a guy.) Then the person in the photo frowns in disapproval which means the person is implying to me "No, you're not prettier than her!" I feel so furious. I wonder if this intuition is true or is it just my imagination? I told my mother about this and she says I'm sick. That's right- I must be alittle ill in my mind. But I can't help it.


My friend says she has special intuition. It tells her things she doesn't know already. (Like what her male friend's crush looks like- she hasn't seen or met her) It tells her how people would think of her if they knew her (people she hasn't met yet) It also tells her what the people (who have already met her) would think of her if she did certan things. Is this real or just her imagination?

It's her imagination. She sounds vain, narcissistic and more than a little self-centred (or "selfcentered" if you are American). If she sees people in photos "frowning" at her then possibly she is crazy as well.

if you are thinking of "getting it on" with her, take the advice of someone who has tried the "crazy chick" thing and suffered as a result -- DON'T.

Besides, Intuition is something else. What you're describing is her imagination running wild, just like contrex said.

Of course if she could actually prove it - so she describes something she has never seen in detail, and it turns out to be true...

Why not ask her to do it. If she says "it's uncontrollable. I never know when and where", just ask her to describe it to most suitable person near her (if a friend or such is nearby). Eventually she must have a friend near her when she has one of these episodes.

this is not intuition, it's some kind of imagination

This belongs in the Philosophy forum.

Intuition it would seem to me is the sum or periferal inforamtion, experiance, and attention to deatial a person has provided to the person's ability to make rational desicions based on their information.

Speaking of attention to detail . . . . Let's have a word for SpellCheck. Laughing

Any way, Mariceloverthere, perhaps your friend could develop this into a poker playing skill.

Oh, and welcome to a2k.
