Some people make hasty decisions due to a variety of factors, including stress, pressure to act quickly, or a desire to avoid uncertainty. Emotional responses can also drive impulsive choices, leading individuals to prioritize immediate gratification over careful consideration.

This behavior can result in regrettable outcomes if not tempered with reflection and critical thinking.
