**Are instincts and intuitions reliable?**
Instincts can be wrong, and hunches are not always reliable. However, we can also be wrong in making a merely rational decision. In fact, a study conducted at Tel Aviv University has shown that letting ourselves be carried away by our instincts is not as farfetched as it seems since we can be right 90% of the time.In this experiment, psychologists got people involved in a carefully controlled decision-making process. Sequences of pairs of numbers were shown on the computer screen, and they passed quickly.One sequence was shown in the upper right and the other in the lower left. The task of the people was to identify the row that had the highest average. However, the problem was that since the numbers passed so quickly before his eyes, it was impossible to memorize them, so he had to resort to intuitive arithmetic.
The amazing thing was that the more pairs of numbers were presented on the screen, the less likely people were to calculate that average, but the more accurate were their answers. In fact, when 6 pairs of numbers were shown, 65% of people were right. When 24 pairs were shown, the correct responses increased to 90%.This simple experiment shows us that trusting our intuition and letting go of our instincts is not always bad. On the contrary, it can lead us to make the right decision.

**Final thoughts**
If you’ve read this, and one of these vampire guys reminded you of someone in your life, I can’t stress enough how much you should stay away from them. I know it can be difficult and you may often feel obligated to this person, but leaving is the best for both of you. You don’t need this negativity in your life. Put yourself and your mental health first and do whatever it takes to maintain your happiness and positivity.
Take this as if it were learning a new language: it will surely take months to master this new knowledge, but along this path, it will be easier for you to advance if you set specific short and medium-term goals. In fact, this is one of the most basic motivational principles : combining ambitious goals with those that we can achieve on a daily basis helps us move forward.
**Tips**
Know your own limitations and what triggers you to "lose it" when in a disagreement. For many people who actively avoid disagreement, it can be easy to take offense too easily and to get riled up emotionally, precisely because avoidance of disagreement has prevented you from learning how to tackle disagreement more constructively. If this is the case, it's recommended that you spend time with self-help guides on such things on non-violent communication techniques or attend a course on dealing with disagreements to learn constructive phrases and ways of responding whenever you feel too pressured during a disagreement.
Try a technique where you and the person you're talking to agree to only ask questions in response instead of making comments or passing judgment. This will help foster a more productive discussion.

**Why do asexual people go to the sexology consultation?**
There are several reasons why a person of the asexual spectrum can attend the consultation sexologist or sex therapist . Here are a few:
In the case of people with a partner: asexual people and their partners often come for difficulties in sexual relations, fearing the breakup or trying to avoid certain disagreements. One of the people who make up the couple can feel sexual attraction and not feel reciprocated in this regard. In some cases it is confused with the lack of desire (we have already commented above that it is not the same, although, depending on how it is managed, it may be related).
The above is also applicable to people who maintain some other type of relationship (such as polyamorous relationships), in these cases they are usually consulted to obtain guidance in relation to the management of sexuality with other people.
In the case of people who do not have a partner or other type of relationship , there are times when they come for consultation because, to a certain extent, they identify as asexual, and they want to learn to know and manage themselves, since they notice that it does not attract them nobody and they feel different from the rest. Sometimes they also want to find a partner and consider how to deal with it with the partner, or wonder if it would be appropriate to “come out of the closet”.
"Is my partner asexual?" Special mention should be made of the consultations that sexologists sometimes receive from people who classify their partner as "asexual" , when in reality what happens is that the couple shows a low erotic desire, sometimes due to problems in the relationship, or that their sexual relationships are not satisfactory, for example.

**Tell me about your pain or ailment:**
Simple truth? . Well do not believe it. Most of us find it difficult to jump out of our skin and put ourselves in the shoes of another human being, even if it is that of a friend or loved one. This is because it is difficult to imagine something that has never been felt and that does not have visible symptoms such as pain . We tend to think that the symptoms are not real. All of this makes us fearful and doubt how to talk about it.
When the person hears this question, he calms down, because it shows that he is interested in it, in understanding, in understanding. Most of the time the person will want to talk about their condition, but they do not want to burden anyone with their "problems", so hearing the question will break down barriers and allow the exchange of data, feelings and opinions about pain and how it affects your life.
One word of caution: keep an open mind when listening to the answers. You are not always able to explain what it feels like and you may have questions that the person does not know or can answer.
