e.g. “British theatre audiences are backward in coming forward”
Although this phrase appears above in the positive sense, it’s more commonly used in the negative.
e.g. “He was a genuine working-class hero: down-to-earth, honest, modest, full of love and understanding, but never backward in coming forward to defend his principles of social and political justice.”
“But while none of the protagonists are media-shy, or backward in coming forward when it comes to defending their corner, sadly what goes on in Washington this week will likely stay in Washington.”
“From her early days as a Californian flower child to her time as a suspender-clad rock diva, Cher has never been backward in coming forward.”
