I have a young ESFP relative who enjoys life in the fast lane, but who makes some very bad decisions sometimes. This person enjoys life and that's great, but it's hard for me to watch as they continue to make costly mistakes (not just monetarily, but costly in time, grief, pain to others, etc.) - getting caught up with the wrong crowd and bad situations, deciding to pour lots of money into a vehicle and then deciding to cut costs by driving without insurance and then driving aggressively and causing multiple-car collisions that involve injuries to others and a complete loss of the expensive, non-insured vehicle, and doing these types of things not just once - but again and again.
For you ESFP's, what goes on in your head when these things happen? As you mature and get older, do you learn from these lessons and become wiser or do you prefer to just live life full throttle all the time and deal with the consequences later? Does it ever reach a point where something "clicks" in your mind and you think, "I just can't do these things anymore. It's fun to drive fast and race my car and have raging underage parties until the police show up, but it's just not worth it anymore."
