Felt That
what it means
A short sympathy reply. It acknowledges shared experience without needing to explain the shared experience.
That resonated — I've experienced exactly the same thing.
the origin story
Twitter around 2018-2019, part of the compact-reply wave alongside "mood" and "real".
It works particularly well for uncomfortable relatability — the kind of post that describes something slightly too accurately. "Felt that in my bones" and "felt that one" are common intensified forms.
in the wild
Waking up tired after nine hours of sleep.
Felt that.
Spent the whole day working and finished nothing.
Felt that one.
