softhearted
This term describes a personality trait characterized by an abundance of empathy and a tendency toward leniency. It carries a generally positive connotation of warmth and kindness, though in certain contexts, it can imply a perceived weakness or a susceptibility to being manipulated by others due to an inability to be stern.
Compared to "kind" or "compassionate," "softhearted" specifically emphasizes the emotional vulnerability of the person—the idea that their heart is "soft" and easily touched by the suffering of others. It is most frequently used in personal, descriptive contexts rather than formal or professional evaluations.
Meanings
Having a kind, sympathetic, and compassionate nature, especially one that is easily moved to pity or forgiveness.
The softhearted grandmother could never bring herself to discipline the children.
