They pretty much all do. the ones that work well are feelings: fear, lonely, stressed, sick, irritable, alive, angry, offended, frustrated, hungry, better, strong. The others could be used, but don't fit as well. It is because they are not strictly 'feelings' but 'states' of being. 'astonished' is a state of being. The feeling is called astonishment. 'Panic' is both a state, and an action. But it is not really a feeling, it is more of a response to a feeling. I am frightened, so I panic. Obsessive is not really a 'feeling'. I suppose one could feel obsessive, but it would be a very self reflective observation. Like you think about your behaviour, you judge it, and you feel that you have behaving obsessively. in this case, you are more likely to say 'I am being obsessive'. Once again, none are incorrect. But when it is not linked to a literal emotion, the verb 'feel' indicates a self judgement rather than an emotion.
