Language changes over time. How would it be contributing to poor communication and social skills?

Well I FEEL LIKE a therapist trying to get a student to process their emotions and create a conversation structure to deal with conflicts is very different than two people talking to each other. What you're saying isn't wrong but you're trying to apply therapy conflict resolution techniques to casual conversation. What you're describing is "I statements" I learned in 2nd grade almost 30 years ago to deal with conflict resolution, not to have a conversation.

To me saying "I feel like..." is like saying "I get the impression that..." So I use it when I'm not informed in the slightly with the theme I'm talking about

I feel you may be too sensitive to the way people use language colloquially. I would put big bucks on this claim: that academic article you read on the use of "I feel like" wasn't trying to tell people not to use it, but it was exploring the reasons people might be inclined to say it over "I think." It would be a correlation fallacy to assume the use of "I feel like" is causing "poor communication and social skills." The issue is likely whatever is causing people to say, "I feel like." Maybe reread that article and let us know what they suggest.
