What is different between feelings and emotions?
In which way would it would be better to use "my feelings" or "my emotions"? In my opinion emotions are something temporary and quickly disappear. But feelings are much more deep inside of us and somewhere near by our soul. And what should we do when our emotions overfill us?It's a good and complex question. You are correct in saying that 'feelings' are deeper inside that can affect a person for a long time, in their heart or in their mind. 'Emotions' are usually more temporary and are something that can be seen on someone's face or from their body language, similar to the word 'expressions'. There are other variances and there are almost always exceptions, but below are a few examples.
Example 1: You really hurt my feelings when you call me names and are mean.
Example 2: Can't you see from the emotions on her face that she is very upset?
Example 3: The boss is feeling very angry today, you can see the emotions on his/her face.
"Feel" as a verb is used differently as how something feels when you touch it. "This feels very hot, it's been sitting under the sun all day."
"Your skin feels very cold, do you want a sweater?"
