What is 任性 in English? Inconsiderate? Selfish? Reckless? Inattentive? Heedless? Insufferable? Or all of those mixed together?

[edit: just realised I typed "dead" instead of "dear" in the subject line, hahahaha now changed]

if you want one word the closest will be inconsiderate but exact is probably "does as one pleases"
...if i find another word i will tell ya

.... I have no idea what the first word is and am too lazy to look it up. 8D; Is it 'ren xing'? If it is, it's 'stubborn', if not, I have no idea. 8D;;;;

I would say either inconsiderate or selfish myself. ^_^

SELF CENTRED! That was the word I was looking for, lol! Hope that helps. *huggles* ^_^

willfulness is also another word.... it means "getting one's own way"...right?
