personalness
State of being intimate
Personalness is the quality of being personal—of relating to a particular individual rather than being general or impersonal.
The word is rare; most speakers prefer the synonym *personality* (in its older sense of personal quality) or simply rephrase: the personalness of the letter becomes how personal the letter was.
When it does appear, it often describes intimate or individual character: the personalness of grief, the personalness of someone's faith.
