effusiveness
Unrestrained expressive warmth
Effusiveness is excessive or unrestrained expression of feeling, especially enthusiasm or affection.
The word carries a slight edge—effusive praise or gratitude may seem overdone, gushing rather than genuine: Her effusiveness at the party made some guests uncomfortable.
The quality suggests warmth that spills past social boundaries.
