Acting on impulse

Have you ever done anything on impulse that you later regretted? That thought struck me as my mouse was hovering over the 'cancel account' button about 30 seconds ago. Would I regret doing that later I wondered?
I've been a bit quiet of late for various reasons, one of which was to concentrate a little on the vanilla scene ( something that should not be undertaken without intensive training, safety harness and a letter from your mother confused ) but I have to ask myself if it's enough to make me want to cut off ties with this place altogether though that added to a little recent 'misunderstanding' ( for want of a better word ) has made me feel as though I'm having to gain entry into the inner circle again ( without much success )
Maybe it is time for me to bugger off to pastures new but for the time being, I'll hold off clicking that cancel button...........and for the record, I'm not looking for replies to get me to stick around - that's what private messages are for.
Just wanted to know your opinion on acting on impulse and later regretting your decision.
Oh shurrup ya silly woman....let misunderstandings go life is too short....and STEP AWAY from the button lol

Erm... yes redface both here and in Vanillasville too!
Oooh let's see now... there's impulse buying surprisedops: impulse one night stands :oops: impulse just-one-drink-after-work-that-turned-into-an-all-night-bender-despite-meeting-next-day :oops: impulse kissing of friends when really you should know better :oops: impulse accepting new jobs and moving to the other end of the country without thinking things through....
Did I ever say I'm quite an impulsive person?! rolleyes
The thing is, some of my impulses I've regretted. Others have somehow turned out to be great decisions.
Karma? Good luck? Good judgement? Who knows...
(Impulse spending however... HUGELY pleasurable in the moment, but boy am I paying for it now! :dohsmile
Being impulsive can be a good thing, but every now and again there's something to regret.
kiss Sassy. You would be missed.
Nola x
( for want of a better word ) has made me feel as though I'm having to gain entry into the inner circle again ( without much success )
If it helps....I'm considered quite good at gaining access to inner circles :P

Not wishing to be too subtle about this but.....Fuck It.
I've been firmly in the 'inner circle' and now i just drift in and out as i please, there isn't much difference besides not knowing where 'X' has gone and not knowing Y & Z are now a couple, hardly stuff that will change your life. You won't get as may PM's but you'll have all the important people on your MSN list wink
You've been here long enough and not gone long enough to still be part of the furniture here (although we have enjoyed the peace and quiet while you were away, gobby cow :hahasmile.
Just use it as you like, when you like, even if it's once a month but don't cancel your account cos we'd miss you
(sorry it's not a PM but it sort of applies to any of the regs who are thinking the same thing kiss)
Let me know if you want to start a new 'inner circle' with an exclusive member list :rascal:
I know exactly what you mean, I always felt firmly in the "inner circle" for a few years and then had to have some time away and it was sooo difficult to come back, a lot of my close acquaintances had left as well, the inner circle had changed, and I felt quite excluded.
I recently had 4 months in vanilla life and coming back has been the hardest thing! I needed the break but really missed the friendships and laughs that this place can give, although the more you stay away the harder it is to come back.
As for impulse, the older I get the less impulsive I am sad I guess it's better as I'm not in as much trouble as I previously was though ;)
No real advice but just to say I know exactly how you feel.

sassy please dont leave, I dont know whats gone on, but hold tight and ride it a bit like knitting, the jumper might not be shaping up like you expected, but dont undo it all, just put it down and you can always come back to it later.
ive never been a part of any inner circle, or magic one come to that lol but i hang about on the fringes sometimes i get very involved, lots of socials, meets, active in threads life and soul of chat room and sometimes this place makes me wanna scream, but its also a comfort blanket when im bored, or fed up and dont wanna face the real world but need some company.
ok as for acting on impluse... probally posting this thread cuse although the intention is true, ive probally posted a load of gabble lol i was desperate to get it in to stop you leaving lol.
impulse... i tend to think wayyyyyy to much about everything, ive gone into card shops before and taken hours to decide. i often go home empty handed cuse i cant make desisions. so sometimes impulse is good.
god i ramble

Go on, bugger off!

sassy.... just sent ya a pm,
you do what is best for you hun, I for one would miss your posts, and I am sure others would as well......
I don't consider myself part of the "inner circle" anymore... and to be perfectly honest, I don't miss it lol :lol: being the last person to find out about anything does have it advantages.....means you don't get sucked into everything.....
just take some time out if that is what you feel is best for you, but don't hit the cancel account button..... sometimes we all need to recharge our batteries so to speak.....

What you been up to then you daft bint!
Ive been away too, but thats cos Ive been on kink fest which takes up most of our weekends and also been away to the city of kinkiness that is San Francisco again....
I love this place though. People here are just so welcoming and nice and sometimes bitchy and horrid too but thats life isnt it.
I mean Im not all sweetness and light myself you know. Dont let this sugar coated exterior fool you Sassy, Im a bitch in sheeps clothing. (hey who mentioned mutton??)
Anyway, dont cancel, dont do anything. Enjoy life and your postings on here. I for one, enjoy reading them.
Big hugs and kisses

:thumbup:
Misunderstandings can always be ironed out with a little effort.
Sassy, not a clue what has been going on but all I can say is that if you feel you need to cancel your profile then do it but I can honestly say that I and alot of others really do hope that you dont. Your posts and general sense of good humour really would be missed around here (plus we would miss your avatar).
As for the Inner Circle, not a clue who is in this so called inner circle and to be honest, why would you want to be in it. Just be yourself because that is the only thing that really matters.
As for impulse, I really dont think I should mention the many things I have done on impulse redface and later regreted (well, regreted some of them, loved others) wink
oi sass....step away from that button or else young lady!!! smackbottom

I don't think the inner circle is anyone specific, (well not in my case) it's more the circle of friends you move within, if that makes sense.
I think acting on impulse is a bad thing. If, when taking a step back and you've looked at ALL the angles and think to yourself 'yes I've tried and I've made every effort etc., etc.,' and you still feel the same then maybe you do need time out - for yourself not for any other reason.
You need to look at the reasons you are wanting time out and see whether they can't be sorted out before making any hasty decisions.
You would be missed, I think you know that deep down. Unfortunately on this one Sass, only you can make that decision, I hope you get it sorted and get back to enjoying being here as soon as.

Yes it does make sense, and yes I can see what you are saying. But then again, a lot of the friendships which are formed on here are only formed cause we all natter to each other way too much and the only way to do that, is to keep nattering lol
(and great to see you back posting) wink
I deleted my 'old' profile in a moment of haste last June, took a break for a year and paid for this on, this June so yes, Meaty is right - DON'T do it. At worst - just strip out all of the information.
I've been part of the 'inner circle too' (just not Meaty's lol ), done Munches etc and to be honest, it's not a conscious thing - it just kinda happened.
The main place I have noticed a difference since I came back on is in Chat where you can enter a room without anyone knowing you... which is kinda nice too, although you do miss the 'hello's' sometimes biggrin
If anyone wants to know who I was, PM me - or bribe NWC as I've just messaged them. Meaty will guess it in 1 :P

Sorry if this is off topic, but do you realise that the mention of this 'inner circle' just perpetuates the whole clique mythology that this forum suffers from!
Back on topic, per Sassy's original post....I suffer badly from impulse action....particularly at work. To the extent where I will now try to compose letters/emails etc then review and send the next day because sometimes you can just get so caught up in the moment that you are not seeing the full picture clearly.
Step away from the keyboard, Sassy, take a few deep breaths....
...go geocaching!!!...
Then think about that delete account button.
You might not change your decision, but you'll be doing it clear headed.

Which is why I posted what I did.
The only time the clique word is mentioned is usually by someone who feels put out by friendships that they aren't included in!
The word itself in definition means
–noun
1. a small, exclusive group of people; coterie; set.
–verb (used without object)
2. Informal. to form, or associate in, a clique.
In which case cliques do form! As in all walks of life we form friendships with small groups of people, and these do become exlusive in nature once you learn about each other and gain trust, group protection kicks in and you don't let others in for fear of upsetting the balance.
However much you dismiss the whole site as being cliquey, by nature people group together and therefore cliques exist! All forums are cliquey until you get to know people and join in!
It's how well you recognise your own friendship or inner circle as being exclusive as to how others see it as a clique!
Apologies to Sassy for the tangent but I feel the need to respond.
Sassy, we came very very close to canceling our account just the other day!. Instead we have stripped our profile and are taking time out from meeting others for the time being, it could last 1 week it could last a year who knows!!!.
Just take a step back for a little while and see how you feel in a few weeks. kiss

:doh:
Its just occured to me who you are/were....I think :lol:
Im blonde and its a good excuse!
My biggest regret on acting on impulse is the number of time I FAILED TO ACT.
I'm really not an impulse person and it's crippling sometimes. I wish I could learn to do it.
Does anyone remember "BLOKE"? he really used to make me giggle...........
So, if you are looking in Bloke ....... say Hi kiss
