resentful
Adjective
This term describes a simmering, long-term emotional state of bitterness. It differs from anger, which is often an acute, explosive reaction, by implying a lingering sense of injustice that the person continues to dwell upon over time. Usage typically centers on perceived unfairness or envy. It is frequently paired with the preposition of to indicate the target of the feeling or about to specify the cause of the indignation.
