I believe the answer is:

ill temper

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

'sick of being sweet and charming?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'result of feeling' is the wordplay.
'result of' becomes 'ill' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'feeling' becomes 'temper' (temper is a kind of feeling).
'ill'+'temper'='ILL TEMPER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ill temper that I've seen before include "Irritability" , "Surliness" , "black humour" .)
