Well, you asked GGB to identify where his feelings were localized in his body. "What feelings?" one might ask. How can you locate the feeling without knowing what the feeling is?
Given that GGB is an intelligent humaan, I would suppose he could identify his own feelings, with appropriate adjectives, without the assistant of you or me.

I think it's useful to identify the nuances in feeling.
You are a woman, accustomed to identifying nuances of feeling. I was speaking TO GGB. Not you, someone accustomed to identifying nuances of feeling.

For example, I might say: "I feel sad," thinking that covers it. But looking at this list (or another one like it), I figure out that I feel "gloomy, dismal, heavy-hearted, abandoned." Those are very mournful words that seem to indicated a loss of something or someone. Or maybe I say, "I feel sad," but when I examine that general feeling more closely, I realize that I feel "hopeless, helpless, confused, wishy-washy," which seem to be about my judging myself as incompetent and a failure at something.
You assume much. Hence, my reasoning for asking GGB, and not you. Men, and you correct me if I am wrong, do not think in terms of the laundry list of emotions, when it comes to YOU, that Lil has posted.
Best let men speak for themselves. You will typcially get their best response, they are capable of giving, at the moment. In THEIR language, not ours.
