How it's used
Describes someone who is unrestrained in their behavior, often laughing loudly or speaking without a filter. While it can imply a fun and bubbly personality, it can also be used to criticize someone for lacking social awareness or being too noisy in quiet settings. It carries a sense of being 'unfiltered' rather than just 'happy'.
Examples
She is usually very outgoing and boisterous, so she makes friends easily.
Don't be so loud and uninhibited, this is a library.
