unpleased
Mildly let down
Unpleased means not pleased—dissatisfied or discontented with something.
The word is rarer than *displeased*, which carries a stronger sense of annoyance or disapproval.
Unpleased suggests a milder, more neutral lack of satisfaction: She was unpleased with the results but not angry.
