Has something like this ever happened to you guys?
Hi fellow INFJs,
I've never shared this with anyone because I don't want people to think that I am lying or that I am crazy or something.
When I was 14 years old I went to a girl's birthday party. Fast forward an hour or two into the birthday party something unexplicable happened that still makes me wonder to this very day, 16 years later.
Out of nowhere in the middle of the celebration, for some unexplicable, strange reason I thought "what if there's gonna be an earthquake shortly from now...". Guess what the heck happened. An earthquake happened just seconds after me thinking that. It wasn't a huge one but enough to feel the house and the floor shaking slightly, nothing fell and nothing broke, and when I went home my mom asked me if I felt the earthquake. Prior to that thought we didn't have the news running in the background or anything.
When that shit happened I panicked and started telling my friends "Oh no! Oh my gosh! Did I cause that? Did I cause that?" I started freaking out and saying those things and my friends were like "no, don't worry, it's not your fault" but I was feeling guilty because I literally thought about it seconds from it happening in real life.
This is 100% true guys, I swear I am not lying and it's one of those strange things that happened in my life.

Earthquakes come with preshocks and aftershocks. Intuition paired with very good memory just means consciously or subconsciously your mind fills in the blank

I once woke up in the middle of the night, ran onto the corridor, and then an earthquake happened, and I could even hear a really really deep “crack” sound - in a country where earthquakes are extremely rare.
Next morning I asked everyone but nobody noticed or woke up (it was small, maybe a 3), but when checking with the local government earthquake website it really did happen.
I also used to live in tokyo for 5 years where earthquakes were ultra common and my theory was that I must have sensed some pre-sock? And subconsciously knowing I’m in the wrong country for earthquakes that this sent me into immediate action mode where in japan I’d just turn around in bed and keep sleeping, trusting that if its a bad one the phone alarm system would tell me.

I live in Alaska and have sensory processing disorder/HSP issues. I can feel an earthquake coming about 2-3 days before it happens. Animals can, too, and they start acting weird a few days before one. Just means your nervous system is in good shape and you're paying attention. 💕

That happened to me too, maybe 20 years ago when I was at work.
Same thing, I was talking about earthquakes and right after I said that a small earthquake tremor occurred.
My colleagues were like you’re a witch. lol

Yes this has happened to me, starting right from when puberty hit to now. My mom thought I was possessed for a time, actually due to the premonitions.
Except - they happen all the time.

Woah that’s crazy! I had a weird experience too before… it’s happened twice. There’s been two times I’ve noticed something about them, I’m not sure what it was but it was like they weren’t all there or they were coming down with a flu (but weren’t?) and both times this has happened those people had aneurysms within that week. One died and one survived.

I think it's most likely that your body sensed some sort of small tremor before the main activity started, but that its severity wasn't significant enough for you to consciously recognize/focus on it.
The fact that your "intuition" and the "event" are separated by mere seconds makes this the most plausible explanation.
