A characteristic is an expression of your character, like smiling and nodding at people on the street all the time. A feeling is feeling happy about expressing that characteristic, like you may've made someones day.

Answer 4

I think a characteristic is the way we tend to handle our feelings. Feelings are passing and characteristics tend to be more concrete. A characteristic can be a tendency towards having certain feelings more often though. I think you can change your characterics by learning how to change the way you deal with your feelings. Sorry if I'm rambling.

a feeling can change more quickly than a characteristic.
Like someone can feel happy like just in that moment or someone can be a happy person (this is generally true of them all of the time). Hope that helps.

Answer 6

A characteristic is a distinguishing feature of a person or thing. A feeling is something experienced physically or mentally.

I think feelings are more changeable and relateable while a characteristic everyone else might not share but then that's true about feelings too. So idk
