Spontaneity is
something I’m very much in two minds about. Generally, I
wouldn’t describe myself as a spontaneous person in the least.
But there are situations where I find myself doing things without any
planning beforehand or further contemplation. I should still say that
those situations are rare, though.
I’m a careful planner. I don’t tend to go to social outings unless I’ve scheduled to go to them. I don’t roam around randomly with no apparent destination. Well, I may do the latter sometimes, but not often.
Some people like to do things on a whim, but not me. Not regularly anyway. That would go against my psychological ruleset - it would be a severe violation of it. I’m a man of schedules and routines.
In all honesty, I don’t mind being a man of schedules and routines. It’s how I’ve lived for as long as I can remember. And I don’t plan on changing that.
At the same time, though, there are times when I do act spontaneously, and I may even prefer that over a thoroughly laid-out plan. And more often than not, those situations have encouraged me to stay in my comfort zone rather than force me out of it. That, in most cases, is the deciding factor as to whether I decide to abandon my usual plans or not.
