unrestraint
Lack of inhibition
Unrestraint is the absence of restraint—freedom from limitation or control.
The word describes behavior, expression, or action that is unhindered and unchecked: She spoke with complete unrestraint about her feelings.
It can suggest either liberating openness or a lack of proper self-control, depending on context.
