How to use "Milquetoast" in context?
There are many words that describe people who are too afraid to express their real feelings, even when it may be the smart thing to do. These people are known as "milquetoasts." They are usually shy and prone to self-doubt, which leads them to inaction in situations that would require more assertiveness or bravery.
This complex personality trait can be traced back to early experiences that make a person timid. If a milquetoast is constantly made to feel like they are not up to the task, or that they are not good enough, they may internalize those feelings and become what some call a "milquetoast.
