You didn’t lose your intuition — you were trained to abandon it every time it clashed with what others expected from you. In practice, this means every time your body said “No”, you were told you were being difficult, dramatic, irrational, or ungrateful, and every time your body said “Yes”, you were told to calm down, be realistic, or stop wanting so much. Over years of micro-corrections, your instinctive intelligence — the one human faculty designed to keep you aligned and free — was replaced by intellectual justifications, social compliance, and fear of consequences. Once your gut becomes silent, you no longer need external control; you self-regulate according to what seems safest in the eyes of others. The blade cuts deepest when you understand that you didn’t lose your intuition — you were slowly convinced it had nothing valuable to say.
