Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
When others push, provoke or try to wear the speaker down, it only hardens their determination to tough it out. Opposition works as fuel here. The phrase 'gut it out' means enduring something difficult through sheer grit, and the more resistance there is, the stronger that urge.
