openheartedness
Sincere warmth freely
Openheartedness is the quality of being emotionally accessible and genuine—willing to share feelings, receive others warmly, and approach life without guardedness.
An openhearted person doesn't hide behind walls: Her openheartedness made strangers feel like old friends.
The word suggests both vulnerability and generosity of spirit.
