How it's used
Describes a deep sense of internal resentment or refusal to accept an outcome, especially when one feels treated unfairly. It captures the feeling of being unable to swallow a loss or an insult. The phrase focuses on the emotional state of the person rather than the objective fairness of the situation.
Examples
He feels very unwilling to accept the loss after the match.
Why are you so unwilling to let this go?

very unwilling to accept
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simply being angry or mad. It specifically implies a sense of injustice or a refusal to admit defeat, whereas 嬲 is a general term for anger.
