Definition
浮躁 describes a restless, flighty state — someone who can't settle down or focus, often as a personality trait. It differs from 烦躁 (irritable, annoyed) and 焦躁 (anxious, worried), which are more about emotional agitation; 浮躁 is about a lack of calm and stability, often applied to a person's character or a societal atmosphere.
