I hope people realize that when I say "I feel that" in response to them telling me how bad their day was it is me saying "I have been in a similar situation and I understand you are hurting right now so I'm going to listen to you talk about it so I don't accidentally make the situation about me" and not "I have no clue what you just said I'm just pretending to listen" or "I'm about to make the conversation about me"
