I know there must be a thousand threads out there about things like "most embarrassing moments" and stuff, but this thread is a little different.
I'm sure you've all been there. An idea comes to mind, and at first, it seems great. It can be a spur of the moment, or even planned to perfection, because in your mind, nothing can go wrong with such a tremendous idea. Sure, there may be a tiny doubt in your mind, something holding you back a little, but you pay the little voice no heed. So you do it. Then it can come either slowly but surely, or smash you in the face, but after the event, you realize that maybes your brilliant idea wasn't so fantastic after all.
Whether you're the type that lets the dread well up inside of you, or the type that goes "well, fuck it", this is a thread for getting them off your chest, because no matter what, you'll remember them for the rest of your life.

Nnnnope, I always figure I must have made an oversight somewhere. Most of my mistakes are made from there being too much going on in my head, not because of some assumed idea of "perfection". I'm prone to seeing flaws in almost everything, so a lot of ideas I end up going through are, in my mind, terrible from the start.
"Sure, there may be a tiny doubt in your mind, something holding you back a little, but you pay the little voice no heed."
I have trouble seeing how people do that at all, much less willingly.

I don't usually look at my own ideas as "brilliant"'s the thing, maybe that's a factor?
the difference is one being an instinctive survival tool, and the other being a symptom of a serious mental health condition. i sorta agree about them being kinda useless, but i think someone who trusts their gut would err on the side of caution, whereas someone who listens to voices in their head could be susceptible to many other and possibly more damaging experiences

Gut feelings should be trusted, little voices in the head not so much. You should know this better than most Turn :D
They feel like the same thing, as long as the source is recognized as coming from yourself anyway. Where's the difference if it's not believed to be external?
Then again my natural tendencies are somewhat like how Don Hertzfeldt portrays it (bobby neurotic eats a sandwich) with stream of consciousness nonsense. Personally I don't see much difference between gut and voice, as they're both in my case run by pretty dumb setups. Can't really trust either of them and they both accomplish similar things.
