I think a slight adjustment should be made to make it a bit formal:

  • I really don’t feel like going

You are actually reluctant to go and you have hesitations, that’s what ‘really’ actually really means.
By the way, where don’t you just really want to go, Re Za For You? Sounds like the name of call centre for certain nefarious purposes.

I have one more question:

I just really don’t want to go.

In this sentence, is the emphasis more on just or on really?
Which is more important in this sentence, just or really?

Thanks

There’s is no emphasis on either of them, nor is there any significant difference in meaning between these two sentences. They’re both fine.
Don’t thank me.
