Word for "knowing the feeling from X situation"?

Yes, I know the same thing has been asked before, but there were no answers that fit the word I'm trying to find.

Anyway, what is a word for "knowing the feeling from X situation"? That would be something like "know that feel" in slang. I am not thinking of sympathy or empathy.

It is more like: let's say someone describes a situation like "and then I feel sad because of what is said", and I know myself from it or I know the feeling very well. Sorry if I'm not very good at explaining. Hope someone knows what I am talking about. If it is of any help, I would say "å føle seg truffen" in Norwegian.

I think I'll stick with something like "I recognize know that feeling" or "I can relate".


Maybe it could be "likewise". It can be used in many cases, when someone expresses some feeling/opinion, and you want do say that you feel/think the same.

E.g.: A: It was a pleasure talking to you. B: Likewise. (it was a pleasure for me as well)

A: I feel sad for this. B: Likewise. (I feel sad too)

Etc.


In casual conversation, if someone related feelings to me which I had experienced before, was familiar with, and was made to feel by the description - I would be most likely to say something like I know what you mean, e.g.

Person A: ... and it made me feel completely ashamed.

Person B: I know what you mean.

When describing such situations rather than participating in them (I'm not sure which you are asking about), a simple and common option is to say that you feel for the other person.

For instance, if I said something like:

Casey was telling me all about her breakup; I really felt for her.

it would imply not only that I was sympathetic, but that, as you said, I knew her particular feelings well myself.
