* "Went" implies a physical action: "Went" usually describes physical movement. It sounds strange to say someone "went nostalgic" because nostalgia is an emotional state, not a physical place.
* "Felt" is a better choice: It's more natural to say "I felt nostalgic" or "He felt nostalgic." This emphasizes the emotional experience.
* "Became nostalgic" is also good: This emphasizes the change in state, from not being nostalgic to becoming nostalgic.
Here are some examples:
* Instead of: "I went nostalgic looking at old photos."
* Try: "I felt nostalgic looking at old photos."
* Or: "I became nostalgic looking at old photos."
The best choice depends on the context and the specific nuance you want to convey.
