openhearted
Generous in spirit
Openhearted describes someone who is frank, generous, and emotionally available.
An openhearted person shares their feelings freely and responds to others with warmth and sincerity: She gave an openhearted account of her struggles.
The word suggests both emotional transparency and kindness—someone without guile who welcomes connection.
