| Depends, I've been through a lot of shit. So typically when I say it I actually mean it. Been there done that many of times. Seems to me like a lot of people just don't want "help". |

| I just laugh at them until they feel like shit. |
| I get annoyed if it's like "Mayuka I understand you more than you understand yourself! Let me tell you what you're thinking" and they get it wrong. like bitch pls don't even |
| they're trying to be sympathetic so it feels kinda good I guess. |
| it feels nice, especially if they share a story to relate... |
| I don't know it depends, for example when i get a bullshit death in CS:GO and my friend tells me "I know that feel", i guess it's alright? |
 |
| It's annoying when they're wrong. |

| if i think they actually do know, then that's great. if they're bullshitting then - dfsafsaf said: I just respond to them with something along the lines of "yeah, sure" or "k". |

| Depends on the context. It's usually used for sympathy. Usually I'm quite apathetic when people use this line though. I often don't use it because it doesn't really do anything. |
| I feel great |
Max said: because a lot of times it's eitherWhy would you be irked by it? It's not "acting like they understand you", it's being sympathetic. a) a way to dismiss you ("i know how u feel now stop talking about it") b) a way to bridge the topic into it being about them |

| I ask them "Do you ever feel like breaking down? Do you ever feel out of place, Like somehow you just don't belong And no one understands you? Do you ever wanna run away? Do you lock yourself in your room With the radio on turned up so loud That no one hears you're screaming?" and if they say no, I tell them "No, you don't know what it's like When nothing feels all right You don't know what it's like To be like me" |

| made me think of this. |
| It's obviously not true but just like the word "sorry" it's easily said. |
| I find most people that try and understand me fail, or end up being corrupted or driven mad. You don't understand. I'm not trapped here with you, you are trapped here with me. |
| I don't think anyone has ever said that to me actually. |
 |
| Fucks per sec will always be 0. |
 Yes, I am CD 2.0's overlord. |
| I get annoyed if they say it and they really don't understand how I'm feeling don't throw "i know how you feel" if you don't. Example when I was on food stamps had a friend ask about why and all and then he was like I know how you feel and I was like oh have you been on food stamps before and he was like well no hes always had things handed to him rich spoiled guy could never understand what I was going through probly never will but block list on skype doesnt have a limit. I just get annoyed if people are half hearted when they ask about something and then make comments like that. But when people actually know what you've been through cause they've had similar experiences it usually feels good. That's why if someone tells me something and I can actually relate I'll return what they said and give them personal experience so they don't think i'm just bull shitting them. |
| I don't see a problem with this. It's usually a way of showing sympathy (even if it's not the best way), so there's no need to take it the wrong way. The main problem is that people like to feel special (even more special than they are), so if people get offended because someone else's sympathy makes them feel less special, then that someone needs to rethink their life. |

| "People" is a gigantic range to consider, so it depends on the person =/ |

| I don't feel anything, well at least they most likely don't have any ill intents when they said that, so I don't get annoyed by it. |

| But once I did meet a person who knew exactly how I feel. A buddhist monk who sympathized and thought very alike with me. He was pragmatic, morally complex, intriguing. Most of all I agreed whole heartedly in everything he said. Every time he opened his mouth it fellated my heart and stoked my ego. Its nice to know that there is someone who shares the same sentiments as you on the most deepest philosophical levels. Im not Buddhist, but that man influenced me to study Buddhism, and its one of the only religions I have any genuine respect for. |
| "I know how you feel" is more a figure of speech than it is a genuine acknowledgement of empathy. Most folks, I'd wager, don't put any thought into what a statement like that actually means, and just use it out of habit or to make some other point. It can be awfully insulting if you let it. But I usually just chalk it up to a lack of self awareness on their part. |
