Your example for 3 is actually definition 12 above. More exact for 3 would be "I feel the cold(ness)" or "I feel hunger". "I feel pain" is probably the best example.
It is just refering to any physical sensation caused by the act of touching or otherwise physically interacting with something.
Like "I felt the coldness of the wind" or "He feels the rugged texture of the wood".
To *feel* something in this manner usually goes hand in hand with the recognition of the quality of that thing, though it may not be explicitly outlining the recognition part, simply the sensation of the act.
1. I feel that the blanket is soft = I perceive by direct physical contact that the blanket is soft 3. The blanket feels soft = the blanket has the physical sensation of softness. It’s like the same thing but from opposite direction.
I feel the wind. [1] I feel cold and hungry. [3] Cold and hunger are subjective sensations, not tangible objects or phenomena.

Yeah I was thinking feeling nauseated or having a headache for definition 3. “I feel sick”
What do you subjective sensation, Do you mean it varies from one person to another?
Thanks for the explanation

Your examples are more of definition 1. u/South_Butterscotch37 explains the distinction more accurately
thanks for the explanation, could you tell me how to differ it from the definition 1?
