If I tell God I give up…what does that mean to him or how does He react?

Does God have feelings…like if I say damn you or something would He get upset?
 
How could God not have feelings? Also, Christ is fully God and fully man - being free from imperfections does not mean being free from feelings.

God does suffer in a mystical way, because He cares for each of us individually - He listens to you as if you were His only son. Because we are one body, and the head of that body is Christ, and we pray through Him, with Him, in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit.

This article may provide more insight: Does Christ suffer with me when I suffer?

I recommend meditation by means of contemplation of the Crucifix, praying the Way of the Cross, and the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary. Then you will gain great insight on how God feels for His little ones, on how much He loves us.
 
Of course God has feelings. Once someone explained to me how my relationship would God should be. That’s He’s my Father in heaven and just as my earthly parents love me and want to know how I am, so does God. So I go to my Father like I do to my dad. 😃

I suggest you read the Diary of St. Faustina.
 
God is the universe’s finest gentleman. You say you want Him out, He steps aside. But He also has infinite patience and understanding so He’s there with open arms ready to take you back in whenever you’re ready.

Think about the parable of the Prodigal Son. When the son wanted his inheritance, did his father protest? Nope. And when the son came back penniless, was the father upset? Nope. In fact, he threw a party. That’s God.

I think someone being mad at God is a little bit like a baby throwing a tantrum. He realizes that we do not fully understand His glory or else we wouldn’t act the way we do. I think God might be a little saddened that someone chooses not to live in His grace.
 
As I understand it, God is supposed to be immutable i.e. changeless. How can an immutable being have differing emotions? For that matter, how can a perfect being “want” anything?
 
I recommend a book:

Sr. Josefa Menendez: The way of divine love

The revelations of Jesus suffering with us and because of us for the reparation of sin.

He would say, Let me take the wheel. “God bridges every distance and truly makes us his ‘partners’” (Verbum domini, 22) I suspect that God brings a soul to this point to show that the soul is taking on too much inside. That the soul needs to learn poverty of spirit, the dependence on God based on the acceptance that his soul is extremely small vis-a-vis with the spirit of God. And that all things should accept the spirit and be dependent on the spirit, though the “flesh is weak”.

You could comndem yourself to hell when you see the truth of this habit, face to face with the vision of truth after you die. Important for those who see their sins in any circumstance to reinforce the personal motions to take his Mercy now while there is the opportunity. So many people do not make the confessional their heart, and this in a number of ways is tragic. This is more then just how one feels. Feeling pass, they are like air, that is what makes faith more then a enigma, faith has certainity. God’s mercy gives priory to sinners. The Church doors are open just for them.
