"Feel" here is an informal, slang term used to mean to "understand" to "get", or to express that someone has the same feelings as someone else. It is not extremely common to use this word unless you are speaking very informally. Ex: I feel you, I'm hungry too. Ex: Bring this car back without a scratch. You feel what I'm saying?
