“This has occupied the thoughts of this boy to the exclusion of other things, causing him to be solitary, self-absorbed, and inattentive at school.”

Acting or done without thought or care
“Not being sufficiently informed about a company can lead to a hasty decision to accept a job that is not really adequate.”
Careless or negligent in one's manner

Marked by unthinking recklessness
“It was very brave of you to rescue your pet dog from the big python.”
Suddenly, without being anticipated
