Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes say "I feel repulsive" when they mean "I feel repulsed" or "I feel disgusted." "Repulsive" usually describes the thing that causes disgust, not the person who feels it. Also, some learners overuse "repulsive" where a weaker word like "unpleasant" or "annoying" would be more natural.
