uninhibitedness

Lack of restraint

Uninhibitedness is the quality of being free from self-consciousness or restraint.

Someone with uninhibitedness expresses themselves openly, unworried about judgment or social convention: Her uninhibitedness on the dance floor was contagious.

The word often carries positive connotations of spontaneity and authenticity, though it can shade toward recklessness depending on context.
