Now that you mention it, I often feel the same thing, or something like it. I feel like the 'felt' way of thinking is probably more of a sense, than a thought, at least, for me.
I feel many things when thinking about different subjects. Most of the time when approaching someone for the first time to meet them and talk to them, I go off of what I feel "in the pit of my stomach" about who they are and whether or not it's safe to ask them certain questions without their reaction being negative. Sometimes my emotions drive me, and get the best of me, though, and that's usually where these feelings I get can either screw me over, or overwhelm me, and prevent me from doing anything about a particular something.
Hope you're not confused.
