Hmmm... My thoughts go to something related to a feeling state... like a nostalgic mood with a more negative influence.

I'll think about it.

Do you guys have any idea of what it could be?

In my bonus clue I mention three senses, but I left one out.

Yeah, following the last clue, my mind associated touch with feeling. In this short-circuited process, it seems I can't feel if I see, hear, or taste

. Moreover, the smell fell into the "blank" category.

And there are different ways to "feel". Some ways are emotional and others are physical.

I had flu, allergy, asthma, but none of those completely fit all the clues. Perhaps, in the morning I'll read it differently and something new will appear in my mind. If not...

You are on the right track, but it is something far more common and more basic.

The only thing that comes to mind is a sunburn although I’m not sure it really fits.

Well, the "common" part fits since sunburns are quite common, but it is something else.

That's it! I got it, despite the fact that it gave me a HEADACHE.

YOU are CORRECT!!!

Nobody wants me. Who wants a headache?

Even when I am gentle I can still be a real pain. Operative word = "pain".

I usually show up when you are worried about something just to make things worse. Stress from worries can cause a headache.

But I can be particularly bothersome in the springtime for some who have no worries at all. Allergy sinus headaches in the spring when there is a lot of pollen in the air.

Sometimes I only stay long enough to say Hello, but sometimes, though rarely, I remain for days. A headache, though usually brief, can sometimes last a very long time.

Your turn.

Challenging riddle! Nicely done, DATo!

Ok, here's the next one:

I am real, I am fiction,
I am a man, I am a woman,
I am courage, I am strength,
I am flawed, and yet,
I worth your salt.

What am I?

Is there a typo in the last line of the clues? Should it read - I ( AM ) worth your salt. .... or should it be as originally written - I worth your salt. ... because the meaning can depend on the word AM?

That is .... the term, I worth your salt. can be interpreted to mean - I give value to your salt.
