Impulsivity

Impulsivity is the tendency to act quickly without fully considering the consequences. It involves making spontaneous decisions driven by immediate desires or emotions, rather than careful thought. This behavior can lead to unforeseen problems or regrets because the person hasn't weighed the risks or possible outcomes beforehand. Impulsivity varies among individuals and can be influenced by factors like stress, emotions, or certain mental health conditions. Recognizing impulsive tendencies helps in developing strategies to pause and reflect before acting, promoting better decision-making and control over one's actions.
