Are You Impulsive Or Restrained? (1 Viewer)

[la_mort_pour_vous]

Do you act fast without planning or without thinking of the consequences?
Do you live in the moment?

Or are you a planned person who keeps their emotions at bay, choosing to respond with a well-formulated & thought-out reply?
Do you always think of the future?

The latter for me, definitely. I'm not the most expressive person & always have numerous tabs open in my head showing the possible scenarios of my actions, & picking the best option is what I always try to do. I can get impulsive sometimes, when I'm really mentally exhausted.

What about you?

i'm restrained but i don't always do the things my plans tell me to do(procrastination i hate u). for most other things I do though. also i feel you on the mental exhaustion thing lol. that tends to cause reckless choices lol. :llama_sniffle:

Despite how I may seem online, I'm definitely more of the latter, and it actually has cause me some trouble as well :')

I'm usually more restrained, however I can be impulsive at times depending on the situation which probably isn't very good lol

I once threw a water bottle at someone's face because they were blabbing too much.....I was tired from all the socialising & then we have this person in my room unannounced trying to cause conversation. :llama_sniffle:

How can being the latter get you in trouble?

How can being the latter get you in trouble?

- people around me complain for showing a lack of emotion (cause apparently not being emotional = not caring)
- people being upset that I think more about the future than "living in the moment" aka I'm missing out apparently
- people complaining that I sound like a smartass (though this is 100% unintentional)
So mainly trouble in the social aspect lmao

I think i am impulsive in a way, for example the website, it spawned from my impulsiveness, but i started to plan for the future of the site once i received lots of criticism for the first iteration of the site back then.

I relate to this.
I've been called "intimidating" online & in real life, too many times. I have a naturally stoic & introverted disposition. I always worry about the future. Tend to use "business-like language" & am apparently "sophisti-blunt" or whatever that means.
On top of that, I have social anxiety! So yeah, double the fun!

Oh my Yves, your impulsiveness is a good kind of impulsiveness.
Overplanning can stop you from doing so much; you just keep wondering & wondering & become severely indecisive. You end up not doing the things you want to do. Overplanning can act like a cage to your creativity & artistry.

It's a habit lol And I think it looks cool. :p :pandaboss:

I’m impulsive. I started to control myself a bit lately, but still. I get angry fast, but I’m also calm really fast. I’m not a person to shut up and then coming with reasons from last year to be mad. My reactions are not always the best tho. I usually feel bad about what I say xD

 

[yeji]

well a little bit ouf both? I am impulsive in many ways but I am also such a planner and I love to be organized.

 

[Darkseid]

Like I'm not too expressive and more restrained in general, but it's not like I plan shit. I just procrastinate lol.

I do have more of an impulsive streak. Something will suddenly strike me randomly af and I'll do it, while I leave stuff I'm supposed to do until it's dangerously close to the deadline.

 

[Nightshade]

An odd combination of both. In situations where I can't control emotions, I tend to be more of an impulsive person. Although, I feel lean towards restraint. Most of the time though, I tend to withhold my emotions and look upon things before acting.

[Ahsoka]

It depends on my mood, sometimes I'm very impulsive and other times I just tune everything out if I feel like it may want to make me act and do something Ill regret later

 

[Skinnny]

A combination of both.
Really depends on the people I am around.
I used to give well-thought formal responses to people in real life but that only lead to me being labelled as the cold, introverted and allergic to people child so now the responses I gives are thought out but they are not too formal.

 

[JoanaIsHere]

Im mixed.

I tend to withhold anger, jealousy, and sadness but I show when I'm happy and excited. I don't really think about what I say when I say it but then I go into a deep state of thinking and realize it was immature.

I also act on good emotions so I do risky things.

Definitely restrained. Although, I was told I hide my emotions and I run away. Can't help it, it's the easiest way. There are obviously moments where I burst and speak my mind. In general I'm a huge mess of a person. When it comes to tasks, or things that need to be done, I tend to analyze them in order to find the best approach.
