disinclination
Mild aversion felt
Disinclination is a mild reluctance or unwillingness to do something.
It suggests resistance without strong opposition—you'd rather not, but you're not firmly against it: She felt a disinclination to discuss the matter further.
The word is somewhat formal; in casual speech, people more often say they don't feel like doing something.
