Default Going wild later in life?
I'm certain there is a psychological theory that people need some time in their life be free, discover who they are, and go a little wild. This usually happens in the teens or early 20s, but if for some reason a person doesn't get to experience this then, they could go wild later in life, even after being seemingly calm and settled in. Does this behavior have a name? Is it different than a mid-life crisis? Does anyone know any websites that discuss this?
Thanks.

I don't believe there is a name but the terms "partying" and "sowing wild oats" both come to mind.

When I go, it will be in a hostage situation and the SWAT team hiding under their cars.

Maybe I'll do it at work. No, wait, I'm a freight train engineer, going thru crossings at 40-60 mph with 12,000 hp of engines and hauling 14,000 tons of chemicals that would kill all the trees in a 3 mile radius...

Yeah, maybe I'll do it at work!
