View Full Version : Are you...
Are you impulsive or compulsive? That is the question! For me, I am both. It drives me nuts sometimes.
Impulsive, I guess. Never really thought about it.

Impulsive I guess. But are these two things mutually exclusive? They're not polar opposites of each other or anything.

I'm expulsive and repulsive. The second one ties into what I'm expelling, really.

I had to look at a dictionary definition, and I'm still struggling.
I guess it depends on the situation? I'm normally loathe to make the first move or one for spontaneity, but in a few situations I do jump in (normally for a friend) without thinking of the long-term consequences.

Compulsive means when you do things out of habit or thought of already. Impulsive is when you do things that lack any thinking. You just do it , taking risks.

I will compulsively write a shopping list for my weekly shop, but impulsively purchase something that wasn't on the list that I fancied when I saw it. I think that's an example that everyone can relate to that shows how the two coexist very naturally.

True!! This is me. That's why I have Bert go instead. He follows the list.

That you're aware of ;) He could guiltily be stuffing M&M's down his gullet in the parking lot!

Mostly impulsive. I find a life of loosely-controlled chaos to be more enjoyable.

I'd say I'm more on the compulsive side. I can do things impulsively though.
