How and what?

Could you tell me how the choice of what or how affects its meaning?

1: Tell me what you feel.

2: Tell me how you feel.

I think "what" here suggests the speaker expects a formal or objective opinion about something, and "how" seems to suggest the speaker wants to know how the thing is making him/her feel.
