shamelessness
Shamelessness is the lack of a sense of guilt, remorse, or embarrassment for one's actions, behaviors, or attitudes. It is the state of being bold, unabashed, or indifferent to what others might see as inappropriate or wrong. This disregard to conventional norms and standards can sometimes be viewed as audacity or impudence.
