What exactly is the difference between "to feel angry" and "to feel anger"? No difference whatsoever?
Top answer
People generally don't "feel angry"—they are angry. "Feel anger" seems even less likely to me, but it might work in the right context. That said, one of the more obvious differences between "feel angry" and "feel anger" is that the verb "feel" is being used intransitively in the former and transitively in the latter.
