I believe the answer is:

pained

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

'looking hurt' is the definition.
'pained' can be an answer for 'hurt' (I've seen this in another clue). I am unsure of the 'looking' bit.

'enid upset by dad' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'dad' becomes 'pa' (both can mean one's father).
'enid' is an anagram of 'ined'.
'ined' put after 'pa' is 'PAINED'.

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
