I have a question about the 感じ in 「私の食生活が気になっている感じですか」? Who is the owner of those feelings? Is it something like 'It feels that you are interested in my eating habits' or maybe 'Are you feeling that you are interested in my eating habits' ?
人A「う、うん。敬礼はいいから。なんか・・・・・・大丈夫？変なもんでも食べた？」
人B「食べました！ラボの食事はおいしくなかったです！もう～、だめだめ！」
人A「や、そうじゃなくて。それ以外に」
人B「にひひ、なになに～？私の食生活が気になっている感じですか～？も～、照れちゃうな～、うふふっ」
人A「うわ・・・・・・ほんとなんだこのノリ。酔っ払いかよ・・・・・・。」
I don't think that 感じ is always used in the sense of trying to point to someone's feelings/sentiments. If 感じ points to anyone's feelings, I'd say it would be the feelings of 人A.
In this usage, I think one can safely translate it with "like", as in
私の食生活が気になっている感じですか
So it's like you're interested in my eating habits?
So you're saying you're interested in my eating habits?
"like" is, similarly, trying to wonder what it "feels like" to someone else.
