You can choose to sound more ingenious with your response to how you’re feeling by answering ‘let’s see if I have any answers to your questions…sorry,I don’t’.

To know the difference, you should see how the phrases are expressed. If there’s something you’re waiting for and someone asks you how’re you feeling, you can say to them ‘I’m feeling like a child a day before his or her birthday.
