resonate

when something or someone automatically as the street would say "clicks" meaning you feel and understand a situation or person without explanation.

I am on the train going to work & someone is telling their friend a story of how they were robbed and I happen to overhear the conversation UNLESS I have NEVER been robbed it will not evoke a feeling of "resonate". Now on the other hand if I had experienced being robbed It will evoke feelings of questions like why did he rob me?, anger, disappointment, anxiety, disbelief just to name a few.
