How to use "Chicken-hearted" in context?
Most people would describe me as Chicken-hearted. I've always been one to shy away from things that scare me or seem daunting. It's a trait I think helped me succeed as a cashier in my previous job and it's helped me get by in life. But lately, I've been struggling.
It all started with a simple project at work. We were assigned to create a marketing campaign for our company and I was petrified. The idea of trying to come up with a catchy slogan, create a logo, and design a poster was daunting.
