My student asked me why he should use "makes me feel + adj" when he can explain the same meaning by saying "it makes me + adj". But I doubt both are the same. Am I correct? And what is/are the distinction/s between these two?

When using an adjective that is specifically a feeling, like "excited" or "horrified," the meaning is essentially the same.
However, when using an non-feeling adjective, the meaning could be different. Take, for example, invincible.
In this case, he makes me feel is correct. It's unlikely that your lover literally imbues you with immortality or superhuman strength.
