how is that good? Posted by poolboyjames on August 21, 2010 at 4:44 AM comments (0)a lot of times people describe themselves as spontaneous
what i don't get about this is like.. why is this looked at as a positive trait? here are some descriptions of spontaneity: performed or occurring as a result of a sudden inner impulse or inclination and without premeditation or external stimulus having an open, natural, and uninhibited manner. occurring without apparent external cause instinctive or involuntary spontaneity: from late Latin spontaneus from sponte ‘of (one's) own accord’ the kind of person who acts first and thinks about it later behaving in a very natural way, without prompting or premeditation perhaps impulsive, which has somewhat less positive connotations, suggesting someone who is governed by his or her own moods and whims why is this seen as positive? "i'm a free spirit" "i'm spontaneous" to me saying u are a free spirit or saying ur spontaneous is like saying i am gullible, i lack self control, i follow fun.. i follow the crowds in life i just fail to see how spontaneity is a positive trait look at the antonyms: conscious, voluntary, planned, rehearsed, forced ^these words are synonymous with structure, order, and purpose spontaneity is just like... just doing something for the heck of it to me describing urself as spontaneous or a free spirit is like saying "i don't think a lot of decisions through before i make them" like to me a spontaneous person is the kind of person who will cheat on u because they might just wake up one day and spontaneously be bored with you lol.. to me the only real positive is "having an open, uninhibited manner" the rest seems undesirable i understand spontaneity is sometimes necessary.. but in a lot of ways i find it to be counterproductive to a peaceful, successful, stable adult life am i being too "type A" with this? ..i'm open to opinions
