A guide for learning how to follow your intuition and knowing the warning signs of impending danger.
True fear is a gift. You’ve probably felt a gut instinct at some point in your life. Many people do. The girl who got a bad vibe from her date the first night they met, the mom who felt something just didn’t feel right about a potential babysitter, or even the woman in a parking lot who’s solicited by a stranger who wants to help carry her groceries. We’ve all been in an uncomfortable situation, luckily, if you’re reading this, your situation didn’t turn deadly. Unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky, but there are ways to pinpoint impending danger. Throughout The Gift of Fear, Gavin de Becker explains the warning signs of someone who wishes to do you harm. Perhaps they don’t take “no” for an answer or maybe they talk too much to hide their nerves and gain your trust. Keep reading to find out how criminals try to solicit their victims, discover how a person’s body language can uncover their true intentions, and lastly, learn how to follow your gut and stay safe.

The Gift of Fear was given to me as a gift in the early 80s. I will never forget the chapter about women taking elevators alone with strange men. Even today I never take an elevator with a strange man. I’d rather look rude then put myself in danger.

Its not about women giving the benefit of a doubt. Its about the fact that when a woman goes to police, they dont do anything, or talk to her abusive husband, and do nothing, and when they leave, her husband beats her up, sometimes to death. So yeah, women often have no choice, but to put up with abuse. They know they are with a monster. And they are scared to leave, with no means. And he damn sure makes sure she has none. He makes sure she doesnt have friends or weakens her connections, and takes away her job and her money, to make sure she is never able to get away.

Anyone threatening anyone else, should be punished. If someone is caught saying “I will beat/grape you” or “I will kill you”, should be arrested for at least a month, and assigned a hefty fine, as well as put on a watch list. Each time. Second time it happens, they should be imprisoned for at least a year. Until this happens, there will be no change. They threaten, and later they deliver on their promise. Police dont do anything. Thats the issue.

That’s not intuition. That’s called a premonition.

That was God warning you. I was on a rape trial as a juror of a 14 year old girl who was raped by a “family friend” who was 60. She told the police after the rape that she had dreamed about it. The man had strips of duct tape on the walls of his house to restrain her. The police asked why did she go with the man if she dreamed that and she said she thought it was just a dream.

I have read your comment over and over and don't understand what you are saying. I would like to understand - can you explain?

@@christyhopwood8735 That is incredibly sad! I think many of us would have ignored it and just felt guilty for dreaming something so horrible about such a "nice man."
