I believe the answer is:

interests

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'awakens concern' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'unhappily resents it' is the wordplay.
'unhappily' indicates an anagram.
'resents'+'it'='resentsit'
'resentsit' is an anagram of 'INTERESTS'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for interests that I've seen before include "Pastimes or concerns" , "Pursuits of triteness" , "Hobbies or preoccupations" , "Advantages" , "Appeals, fascinates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
