What the difference between find difficult and feel difficult?
I don't know if find difficult exists in English. But, when I use a translator in Portuguese ⇄ English.
Could someone help me?

find difficult? Not by itself.
I find it difficult to do something. I find it difficult to do math when I'm drunk.
feel difficult? Not by itself.
I feel that it's difficult to do something. I feel that it's difficult to make friends online.
You could say "I'm feeling difficult right now" but it is colloquial. (I don't want to be agreeable. I don't like them and I'm not going to go along with them.)

Find difficult exists in English.
it means
1 it is difficult for your in a physical or mental capacity
2 it is difficult for you at/on/in an emotional or psychological level
They can mean the same but feels difficult is more often used when talking about items in number 2 emotional psychological areas.

Concordo com você, Kênnia. Eu não gosto de usar muito tradutor, porém quando realmente não sei dizer o que quero acabo usando.
Mas, obrigado pela resposta! Agora posso usar com mais confiança a expressão, I think this/that is difficult.

Thank you for answering, Paulo!
I could learn a correct form with your explanation 😁

Você está pensando em português e quer algo correspondente em inglês, aí não funciona. Nós falamos "eu sinto dificuldade..." por isso colocou feel, mas a questão é o sentido! É assim que devemos nos atentar. Como o Paulo disse, I think is dificult é mais apropriado, é o equivalente para o nosso "sinto dificuldade".
