I know what you are feeling vs I know how you are feeling

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'I know what you are feeling' implies that the speaker understands the specific emotions the listener is experiencing. On the other hand, 'I know how you are feeling' suggests the speaker can empathize with the listener's emotions.
