Acting "mulishly" means behaving in a stubbornly obstinate way, like a mule that refuses to move. 🐴 It implies a strong-willed resistance to change, often without good reason. Unlike simple determination, "mulishly" suggests a lack of flexibility and a refusal to cooperate. Think of a character in a video game who keeps running into a wall instead of finding a way around; that's mulishness in action. It is similar to being stubborn but often perceived as more irrational or unreasonable.
