Separating observations from evaluations is crucial, observations are facts, they must be clear and honest. They must have a specific time and context. Generalizations are not observations, must include facts, for example; count, frequency.
Feelings
The way we use the word "feel" usually does not express our feelings, when we use with "that", "like", "as if" also "I", "you." When I think how I use the word feel, I use all the no-expressing words.
A funny example for this; we clearly can't expect clear expression of feelings after anesthesia but this is an example for how we use the "feel" word.

I agree to all points that you mentioned
