Thoughts, feelings, perceptions are just that: thoughts, feelings and perceptions. They arise, stay for a while and cease. They're not you, not yours, not self.

He who reveres those worthy of reverence,
the Buddhas and their disciples,
who have transcended all obstacles and
passed beyond the reach of sorrow and lamentation
— he who reveres such peaceful and fearless ones,
his merit none can compute by any measure.
~Dhammapada 195-6

And what is the drawback of feelings?
That feelings are impermanent, suffering, and perishable: this is their drawback.

And what is the escape from feelings?
Removing and giving up desire and greed for feelings: this is the escape from feelings.
