To them, this is what it means to truly live. Because they are sensors, they are more likely to live in the present. While this is a nice quality to have, their spontaneous might cause other problems for them.
The lack of planning, for example, will make them less reliable than other types.

ESFP are the entertainers. Combine this with their spontaneous nature and you get an impulsive individual. This makes them more likely to be reckless and make decisions on a whim.
These decisions can often be disastrous and not thought through. ESFP males need to learn how to control their impulsive nature.
