Spontaneous vs. impulsive

Spontaneous: doing things that other people did not expect you to do but of which they approve.

Impulsive: doing things that other people did not expect you to do but of which they disapprove.

Note that it does not matter if your actions were planned or unplanned–it only matters if other people perceive your actions as within expected behavior.
