Intuition is a funny thing. It appears in our consciousness without obvious deliberation and often doesn't even require any evidence.

However, psychologists don't think our gut feeling is magical, but rather a faculty in which hunches are generated by the unconscious mind rapidly sifting through past experience and cumulative knowledge.

Sounds interesting, but rather vague, no? So to find out more about the ways our psyche manifests itself, we at Bored Panda put together a new list of stories where people suspect something to be true but can't actually prove it.

From government conspiracies to rigged sports games, continue scrolling to check them out and if you want more similar observations, fire up our older publication on the same topic.

Same. After a while, I decided to give up and just distance myself. Then they wonder why I won't come to their family events. That, and they're antivaxxers. Sucks, because I still like some of my siblings.

My mum used to burn me and 1 of my brothers with matches. She used to light them and blow them out then stick them on our skin. When my brother used to say anything he would get laughed at because our wonderful, hard working loving mother would never do anything like that so I never said anything for fear of being treated like him, I should have stood up for him I know and maybe we would have been believed but I was very young and didn't dare to. I have no contact with them now except for the 1 brother. Still haven't told anyone except him when I apologised for not speaking up at the time although I did used to defend him when they laughed at him. My whole family are gaslighters.

Gaslighting and manipulation, making you think you're crazy is the goal. Get out of there, you don't have to let them keep messing with your mind just because you happen to share some DNA. Going no contact with family of origin is sometimes the best thing you can do to give yourself a chance at mental health.

This happens with my mother and sister. My mother was violently physically abusive with me and with my father to the point where she would sometimes do things like throw me across the room (I was a small child) and sometimes she’d use a knife on my dad. My sister (her biological child; I’m adopted) was the “perfect one” and never even got hit/spanked. I’m 40 now and my sister denies that my mom ever beat me or my father. My sister is shaping up to be even worse than my mom - she will get physical with me if she’s pissed at me, and is just as verbally and emotionally abusive as my mom was. If my mom wasn’t abusive, where did my sister learn this behavior…? (P.S., my mother also denies she ever abused me or my father or will downplay it as “I only hit you when you needed it”)

When I can clearly and painfully remember every time he hit me with a sock filled with sockets and all of the other horrible things he did to me. I honestly thought maybe it was a nightmare or something but it wasnt it happened even if he doesnt want to admit it.

This is also my reality. You're not alone. My mother to this day denies any wrong doing, abuse, cruelty or maliciousness on her part to me. It was always my fault, no matter what happened. I was the monster. Ever since my father passed, I have hated her more, but conflicted cos FaMilY is family. I'd rather have died along with him.

The phrase "family is family" is responsible for a lot of needless suffering. We are under no obligation to continue to have relationships with abusers - no matter who they are. Family, in the truest sense of the word, are people with whom we can share a healthy, loving relationship, work through problems together, grow together, and have each other's backs when needed. You can create this family with a significant other, and/or friends. Continuing to allow abusive people to make you feel fearful, uncomfortable, or resentful is self-abuse. You don't owe an abuser a damn thing...not your time, not your love, not your energy, and certainly not your well-being.

My mother is like that. Spent my lifetime up until a few years ago regaling people at social events with her "charming and amusing anecdotes" about throwing things at me when I was an infant, throwing me at walls, locking me in cupboards and rooms or outside in the rain when I was a child...and since my grandmother died has now revised the stories to say that it was not her that did those things but my grandmother and I must be confusing them. My sister is backing her up but that is to be expected as she does similar already to her children

My own experience. Sometimes I do question my sanity and my memory. My Mom and my 2 younger sisters remember him as a wonderful husband/ father and will always love him. I remember him as a tyrant and a monster. I really believe that they have "un-remembered" a lot of what happened because that is their way of dealing with the trauma and maintaining their love for this man. My older sister is the only one left who remembers it the same way I do. He almost killed me, her and our brother when we were teens (brother is now deceased).

Then I left. 3 months later the call came that she was dead. Later found out she had a large amount of alcohol in her system and prescription drugs as well. I said thanks for telling me she was gone and hung up. Then the calls started from all of my aunts and even her brother, who ra*pe*d me when I was 8 and my mother said I must have forced him to do it. They were calling all hours of the day and night to tell me it was all my fault she was dead. I ended up having to change my phone number and I cut of contact with all of them. That was 30 years ago and still have no contact.

My mother did that to me.. Whip me with the buckle end of a belt. After she killed herself when I was 18 I got the blame for it from my whole family because I'd been to see her 3 months previously after she got released from rehab for the umpteenth time and first thing she said when she saw me was to tell me to go buy strong alcohol. I told her no and that she shouldn't be drinking. She replied that her doctor had said it was OK to have a social drink when having something to celebrate and it was a celebration because I was there. Told her that no doctor would tell an alcoholic who had been to rehab multiple times it was OK to have a social drink. She started screaming at me all the stuff I'd heard from her my whole life. I hate you and I wish I'd had an abortion when I found out I was pregnant with you because you ruined my life by being born. I turned to her and said this was the last time she would see or hear from me again. She had destroyed my childhood.

Someone Asked, “What Do You Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of?”, And 30 People Spilled Their Thought-Provoking Theories (New Answers) That I got my job as charity and therapy. I came back from a combat tour a total wreck. I stayed at my uncle's home for a month and I was already drinking too much and couldn't sleep without nightmares, the kind where you wake the house up from yelling and punching air. My uncle owned 4 restaurants and soon had me working in two of his kitchens 70 hours a week. I threw myself into the work because I had no social life; in six months, I was kitchen manager at his busy 24/7 restaurant. I did an excellent job but unc paid me 50% over the local scale. I think he hired me initially just to keep me out of trouble.

Someone Asked, “What Do You Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of?”, And 30 People Spilled Their Thought-Provoking Theories (New Answers) I once started a small bar in the city. We were doing really well. Then in a matter of months I got absolutely distroyed by the police. Every day they were there looking for the smallest infrigment of any code. If some one was smoking less then 6 meters from my door I would hear about it. If some one had an open beer within a mile, i would hear about it. We were constantly told to keep the live music down even though there are literally no residential neighbours, NONE. Eventually we closed down.

Within a few weeks of this happening I realized that the other people that owned a bar near by had had a serious decrease in sales since we opened and since they had been a long time contributor to the local political scene I think they got the cops to shut us down.

No proof. Just a hunch.

Someone Asked, “What Do You Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of?”, And 30 People Spilled Their Thought-Provoking Theories (New Answers) That the NSA has stopped several terror attacks.

They told Congress they never have, but I believe it's actually a cover-up. Can you imagine if they admitted they stopped, say, 5 major terror acts in the last 6 months?

Woud that make you feel safer? Of course not. It would scare the shit out of us and destroy tourism to major cities.

I think Men In Black put it best:

"Man, we ain't got no time for this cover-up BULLSHIT! There's an alien battlecruiser about to---"

"There's always an alien battlecruiser! Or a Korillian Deathray! Or an intergalactic plague that will wipe out life on this planet. The only way these people get on with their happy little lives is they do not know about it!"

You are correct. My cousins husband was in the the CIA and he can’t say much but what he would tell me is: for every one we know about them stopping, there were at least 10 we don’t know about. So we know of about 1/10 of the attempts at terrorism. He also said, he knows the stuff we don’t want to know about. He promised we’d know more upon his death.

Someone Asked, “What Do You Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of?”, And 30 People Spilled Their Thought-Provoking Theories (New Answers) So I worked at a certain venue for a while, and the owners liked me, so they kept me around despite me being a slow learner on the job (waitstaff).

The venue got brought a few months ago, and the new owners have a totally different vision for it. Some of the old staff stuck around, including myself, but many left.

I strongly suspect that I was given a job at the new venue as a request of the old owners. I don't fit the mould of the people they hire at all, and I really got the impression that they weren't sure what to do with me at the start.


I may never know, but I'm pretty thankful to the old owners regardless.

Someone Asked, “What Do You Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of?”, And 30 People Spilled Their Thought-Provoking Theories (New Answers) Astronomer here! I very strongly suspect there is life beyond Earth in the universe, and there’s a good chance it exists elsewhere even in our solar system. I can’t prove it however, but would be astounded if it wasn’t the case- life is just a chemical process when you get down to it, so why would that process be so unique as to happen only once when we see all the ones we can measure repeat all over?

I also suspect though it will be nowhere near as exciting as most people think it will be, due to Hollywood films. Rather, it will be like finding water on Mars- speculating it’s there, finding the first evidence that it may have existed at one point, and after a ton of intermediate steps concluding there is definitely water on Mars. First we will probably find a chemical signature from an exoplanet that may be from life or have another explanation, then something more solid, and then with all the steps on the way after years a conclusion that life exists elsewhere in the universe. Not very Hollywood, but very in line with how science works!

Public Schools purposely don't teach finance to most of their students. If they did, very few would agree to the conditions of their student loan notes, which would lead to a decline in college matriculation and in general make the school look bad.

Most of the time it was met with "I don't need those things till I'm old." I tried to relate how they would need all these things the minute they walk out of their childhood home. "Daddy will help me if I need it." Yes, it was an affluent section of Connecticut. Even the parents say they don't need to know this right now. WHEN??????????!!!!!!!!!! I have had a few come back and thank me. That is what kept me going.

Jennifer Lawrence faked her trip walking up on the Oscar stage, and faked her trip again the next year on the orange cone in order to sell her crafted quirky, girl-next-door persona

Nope, for several reasons: 1) On the first trip, she was wearing a sponsored dress (Dior). It would be a bad advertisement for Dior. 2) In an interview Liam Hemsworth said that J-Law had been tripped on multiple occasions behind the camera during their Hunger Games promotion. He said those trips were genuine, she was a very very clumsy girl. 3) There was a story of J-Law tripped again on a pre-shoot talk show. She forced the studio to delete it, but the studio crew talked 😂

Someone Asked, “What Do You Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of?”, And 30 People Spilled Their Thought-Provoking Theories (New Answers) That my coworker is deliberately trying to drive me insane.

I bring lunch with me to work most days, and Every day,without fail and no matter what I have for lunch, she comes into the staff room at lunch and says in her nasaly voice "oohh that smells good! Can I have some??"

Same joke, every single workday.

So finally, one day, I brought in one of my normal lunch staples, and also brought a little extra for her to try. She came into the staff room and said her normal "oohh that smells good! Can I have some??" to which I pulled out a pyrex dish and offered her some. She seemed to recoil a bit, like she was simultaneously surprised and disgusted. She paused for a minute and said "oh...no thanks I'm heading out for lunch" and quickly walked away

Next day at lunch she was right back to "oohh that smells good! Can I have some??"

There's a bunch of s**t that makes me think she resembles and has habits like somebody my mother "knew".

That I got fired from my job because the boss was friends with a family I had a falling out with. Guess when their son sexually assaulted me it was suppose to be my fault. But I can't prove it and they won't say.

I believe my father might have been killed by his wife. We had no real proof other than the words of that lady's former friend. Once he died we realized everything had been taken out of my name and left to her.

That the "shuffle" feature on my iPhone isn't random at all. Far too often I'll get the same artist back-to-back, or even two songs from the same album right after the other. I suspect Apple pushes some bands that either have new albums, or are touring in my area soon, to subliminally promote the artists.

This has been proved already as true as a pure random generator wasn’t believed by people, as repeats were seen as not random. So they created a “random” generator that removed previous numbers from the list.

There's bleeding edge technology not available to the public and perhaps only available to a selected bunch. I mean, touch screens were invented in the 70s, but didn't become popular until the 00s. Yes, they were more expensive to make back then but still. F**k knows what they've invented now.

This has always been the case with technology. Some things just never get cheap enough to commercialize before some other solution/work around is found. IBM created mass holographic storage systems decades ago, but they never met the markets needs or prove points. Laser discs/cd-roms were invented by the military decades before commercial application and costs allowed thier use.

That the NBA is rigged. I don't think they want specific winners per se, but I think they want to ensure that there are superstars to drum up business. To that end refs always favor the big name athletes.

You have to understand that the "heads" of most government agencies, state and federal, are basically politicians. Few know little, if anything, about the actual functioning of the agency. Yes, other people are actually running things...not because they are clandestine, but because it is just their job to do the business of the agency.

That the milk corporations really want dominance over the breakfast beverage market.

1. I once read that the dairy companies petitioned/bribed/lobbied whoever made/remade the food pyramid to have a significantly noticeable portion dedicated solely to "Dairy".

2. I once saw a "got milk" ad that was pretty much a personal attack against almond milk. I always wondered why they would spend resources just to reduce the name of a minor competitor

That there is no difference in the effect from different alcohols. Saying "whiskey makes me sad" "red wine makes girls angry" "tequila makes clothes come off" etc is all (I believe) Pavlovian.

If you are at a crazy party, people tend to do tequila shots. SO, you assume that tequila shots make you crazy. If you got in a fight with someone while drunk on gin, you will associate gin with anger. Same goes for the rest of them.

Yeah this has been studied and is correct. Alcohol depresses higher brain function, so your brain stops inhibiting your emotions. Therefore alcohol acts as an emotional amplifier, it doesn't give you the emotion to start with. Probably a confusion of cause and effect - sad people drink "sad" drinks, get sadder &c
