Do we say feelings for or about?

For example:

a) I am not having a good feeling for/about this business.
b) She has feelings for/about Sumit.
c) Why do you harbor ill feelings for/about animals?

Where do we use ‘for’ and where do we use ‘about’ when talking of feelings.

Feeling about refers to when you talk of your feelings related to someone or something.

For example:

1) I feel angry about students doing politics in college.
2) I am not getting a good feeling about this.
3) What are your feelings about the growing trend of live-in relationships?

Feeling for means sympathize. Its like ‘feeling someone else’s pain’, for example:

1) Sudha has no feelings for her violent ex-husband now.
2) I do not feel for people who do not work hard and then suffer.
3) Why do you feel so much for everyone?
