 Cool. 

But why is the metric how you feel? 

Be well. 
 Hi :)
because when I talk to people I mainly want to express myself, stimulate discussions, learn something from others and achieve empathy connections.
"How I feel" is a simple imperfect euristic that makes me understand if these goals (or some of them at least, depend on the nature of the discussion) are reached someway.
