For feelings and impressions in general, 「感じ」 is the default. Use 「気持ち」 or 「気分」 for moods and physical condition (「気分が悪い」), 「感触」 for the feel of things you touch, 「雰囲気」 for atmosphere, and 「感想」 for reactions to an experience. 「印象」 is the impression left on the mind, 「感覚」 the senses; 「体感」 is mostly limited to set phrases like 「体感温度」. The rest are narrower: loanwords like 「フィーリング」, formal or written words like 「所感」「心情」「情緒」, and suffixes like 「感」 and 「気味」.
