Feeling vs feel

Hi,

Is the following sentence correct? Is it currect to use the "feeling" instead of "feel" here?

Could also provide examples of usage of "feeling", "feel"?

I am not feeling confident about the quality of the building.

Regards,

Ravi

-- T his is the form should be used here, and it is the normal present form for this verb. -- 'Feel' and related verbs are sometimes used in progressive aspect, but only when the sensation is very immediate and short-lived. I caution you that it is not the usual verb form and that many English learners choose it incorrectly.
