How do you feel, bad or badly? That depends on what you are trying to say. If your fingers are numb, affecting the sensitivity of your touch, you would say, "I feel badly." If you are ill, you would say, "I feel bad." Badly is an adverb that modifies the action verb feel; whereas, bad is an adjective that modifies the pronoun I.
Quick tip to remember:
Adjectives follow linking verbs.
Adverbs modify action verbs.
