flawedness

State of imperfection

The state or quality of being flawed—having defects, imperfections, or weaknesses.

Flawedness often carries a tone of acceptance or even appreciation: Her flawedness made her relatable.

The word appears in discussions of character, humanity, or authenticity, where imperfection is acknowledged rather than hidden: He embraced his own flawedness.
