in my feelings

Being 'in my feelings' (or 'in my feels') means feeling emotional — sad, nostalgic, sentimental, sometimes wistfully romantic. 'I'm in my feelings tonight' = 'I'm a bit emotional tonight'. It was popularised by Drake's 2018 song 'In My Feelings'. If your teen says it, they are acknowledging their emotions — generally a healthy thing. Worth gently checking in if it sounds heavier than wistful.

'In my feelings' (or 'in my feels') is an informal expression for being in an emotional state — sad, nostalgic, sentimental, or wistfully romantic. Popularised by Drake's 2018 song of the same name. Register: informal, originally African-American Vernacular English, now mainstream. In formal English use 'emotional' or 'feeling sentimental'. A common learner mistake is to use 'in my feelings' for anger; it specifically denotes soft or vulnerable emotions, not aggression.
