Native speakers of English overuse even

I'm feeling fine.
I'm loving it.

The list of verbs that cannot be used with continuous tenses is shrinking dramatically.

What do you mean, "overuse"? As a native speaker, your two examples sound perfectly
fine.

(I think it is because the progressive tense is supposed to be used for an ongoing
action. And when you say I'm feeling fine it denotes that you have been feeling fine
for a while and are still fine. But that's just the way of language evolution I
suppose, sometimes common speech strays from 'grammatical correctness')- be aware I am
probably VERY wrong in what I just said and if I am wrong please tell me, it's just
what I thought off the top of my head.

And back to the OP,basically what everyone else said.
