How do you even tell the difference?

Last week, I kept feeling like I shouldn’t take my usual route home, even though there was no traffic on the app. I went the long way for no reason and later found out there was a bad accident right where I usually drive. Made me wonder — was that my intuition or just me being paranoid? I’ve had moments before where I trusted that “gut nudge” and it worked out, but other times it’s just been me overthinking.
