Forwardness is when someone is a bit too sure of themselves with other people — too quick to speak, too friendly, too ready to push in. Parents and older speakers use it as a soft word: a child's forwardness, or someone's forwardness with a stranger. It is not a compliment. Though actually, forward has a brighter side too (forward-looking, moving ahead), so this noun keeps the cooler, older social meaning: you have come too far, too fast, in how you treat people. You will not hear the noun every day; too forward, , or too familiar are more common in speech.
過於主動、冒失、唐突(對人太熟、太衝;不是「進步」或「前瞻」)
組成forward + -ness, the ending that means the quality of. Here forward is the too-bold social sense, not the future-planning one.
