unself-conscious
Free from awkwardness
Unself-conscious means acting naturally without awareness of or concern about how others perceive you.
An unself-conscious person speaks, moves, or behaves without the inhibition that comes from worrying about judgment: She had an unself-conscious laugh that filled the room.
The word suggests ease and authenticity—the opposite of self-conscious awkwardness.
