What is the negative comparative form of eagerly?

The word "eagerly" is already an adverb, and it doesn't have a comparative form.

To express the opposite of eagerly, you would use adverbs like:

* Reluctantly

* Hesitantly

* Unwillingly

* Apathetically

* Indifferently

For example, instead of "She eagerly awaited her birthday," you could say "She reluctantly awaited her birthday" to convey a lack of enthusiasm.
