Is there a difference between "I feel bad that " > "i feel bad about " > "i feel bad for " ? Great question! There is a difference. 1)"I feel bad that I lost my cat." 2) "I feel bad about losing my cat." 3)"I feel bad for losing my cat." Sentence #1 uses the past simple verb, "lost." Sentence #2 uses present continuous verb, "losing." Sentence #3 also uses the present continuous. The meanings are slightly different. Sentence #1 puts the action definitely in the past, so you might have lost your cat last year. Sentence #2 implies that the cat was recently lost, and sentence #3 implies that it is your fault that you lost your cat! And what is this sentence meaning "i feel bad that i can't talk to you " is this a result or reason? I'm not sure what you are asking. The sentence is in the simple present. You are telling someone that because you cannot talk to him (or her), you, right now, feel bad about this fact. I'm not sure what else to say, but if you have any questions, I'll try my best to answer them. :-)

I feel bad that X and I feel bad about X will usually be followed by something bad that happened. That something is the cause , and the result is that I feel bad. "I feel bad that I can't talk to you." means I can't talk to you, therefore I feel bad. "I feel bad about the airplane crash I just saw on the news. It made me want to cry for the people onboard." This means an airplane crash occurred and I heard about it on the news, therefore I feel bad. I feel bad for X is a statement of sympathy for X. I feel bad for that man. He lost his house in a fire last night. Fortunately his family members all survived. In "I feel bad for X" the statement does not state the thing that caused you to feel bad. Instead, it only states to which person you direct your feelings.
