To make decisions for yourself, you need facts, even the ones you don't like.
Instincts are the part of your common sense, that's telling you to pay close attention, and I trust mine, as they are based in the facts, not just feelings.
Just feelings can cause trouble when they conflict with the reality of facts. Sometimes our feelings allow our mind to play tricks on us. Then we see things that are not real.
Do you have some facts to go along with your instincts, and feelings? If not, get them. Then make a decision for yourself.
