Feelings near lighthearted

  • Playful (one ring in)

    Lighthearted is more a mood than playful’s urge to do something: easy and free of worry for now.

  • Silly (also under Playful)

    Silly is goofy and giggly; lighthearted is simply easy and unworried, and can be quiet.

  • Free (also under Playful)

    Lighthearted is free of worry; free is free of limits.
