imperviously
In resistant manner
In a manner unaffected by outside influence or penetration.
Someone who acts imperviously remains unmoved by criticism, pressure, or circumstances that would affect others: She carried on imperviously despite the chaos around her.
The word suggests a kind of emotional or psychological armor—proceeding as if nothing can get through.
