Learn English – Word for “knowing the feeling from X situation”

single-word-requests

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.
