This explanation of impulsiveness is very insightful. When adrenaline surges, it can make you feel tense and eager to act, often leading to impulsive decisions. The release of dopamine during these impulsive moments highlights the connection between impulsiveness and the brain's reward system, explaining why people might feel an irresistible pull toward certain behaviors or substances.
