I do the same thing and it has taken a long time to try to ignore it and give the person a chance to prove I'm right. I have only really been burned once and it was not just shocking but very disappointing. Mostly because I perceived the person as genuine, honest and talented and was proven wrong on all three counts. Now when you get a bad vibe from a person and they prove that wrong, it's great, but for me that doesn't happen too often.
