Perfect legit examples Cannibal! Sorry Asylum, but I still believe in instincts!
A personal example of instinct was when my brother was really mad at something. He tends to get fairly... violent at times. Two of his friends were over this particular instance. I was sitting at the far end of the couch and as soon as they came in they /knew/ he was in one of those moods. They came right over and one sat beside me on the couch, and the other sat in the chair on the other side of me. It was as if they were protecting me from him. After my parents got home (in about 10 mins) they went right off to check on m bro. Pure instinct on their behalf. I felt so loved!
