do you find it hard to tell when the Holy Spirit is telling you to do something and when its your own self telling you to do something?

i find myself in this position alot.. and it usually happens like this:

i’ll be chillin, feel like i should do something, like.. idk lets say pull over to talk to a homeless person.. or whatever, but i can’t figure out if it was the Holy Spirit who told me to do it, or if it was my own self convincing me that i should pull over…

so then i get in a head/heart panic attack because i don’t want to disobey the Holy Spirit.

…………

this is hard to explain.

and i don’t think that specific instance is going to screw me, since having a conversation with a homeless guy can’t really hurt me spiritually speaking. and even if God wasn’t telling me to do that, it’s not a bad thing.. you know.

however, i don’t want to default to, “okay well i feel like i should do something, and even though i can’t tell if it is the Holy Spirit or myself, i’m going to do it anyway.”

because if i keep doing that, i’m going to blur the line between my own thoughts and God’s spirit talking to me…

gah this is really confusing isn’t it?

i realize this might not be coherent.

anybody?
