USAGE NOTE FOR FEEL
When the verb feel is used in the sense "to think or believe,"
it typically implies believing or having an opinion
on the basis of emotion or intuition,
even in circumstances unsupported by much real evidence.
Although some usage experts object,
such use is well established in English
and can be traced as far back as Middle English.
When feel is used specificallyto express a subjective impression,
it is often used with as if, as though, or that
and followed by a full sentence:
I felt as if my world had come to an end.
He feels as though it is always raining.
I feel that things will get better now.
More informally, feel can be used without as if/as though/that :
I feel he's guilty.
And a full sentence does not have to follow:
I felt his answer to be impolite.
In the same sense of "to think or believe,"
an alternative phrase feel like is found in informal or casual speech.
This use of feel like typically expressesan opinion or emotional sentiment
with a softened or tentative tone:
I feel like nothing is getting done here.
I feel like he is just too arrogant.
Though increasingly common,
use of the phrase feel like has been criticized as lazy thinking
that ignores real evidence, while avoiding confrontationand debate.

Sense & feel
As a verb, sense means “to become aware of,” “to perceive,”
and informally means “to understand,” “to detect”:
“I quickly sensed that I was in trouble.”
“Do you sense some problem coming up?”
Feel has several meanings,
two important ones being “to perceive through the sense of touch”
and “to experience an emotion”:
“This velvet feels cool to my fingers.”
“I feel a great loss in his death.”
Sense and feel are loosely used for each other,
although originally sense was restricted
to matters or object perceived through one of the five senses
and feel
to that which could be experienced through touch alone.
