How would I know? How would anyone know what it feels like to be someone else? There are witches who supposedly can switch bodies with the use of a magic mirror, but I've never succeeded. (It tried with an old friend years ago, but she had to admit that she did not really want to know what it was like to be me.)
Short of some kind of magic, we cannot really know what another person feels like except by analogy to our own feelings and experiences. We are guessing that it is similar, while knowing from experience that we are not all alike.

Well, there is always that 50/50 chance. So let me explain my day, and let us compare shall we?
5:30 am - My alarm clock failed to go off, thank goodness I set the alarm on my cell phone for a back up alarm. I threw out my old alarm clock.
6:30am - My daughter came in the bathroom, gave me a dirty look, because I was making too much noise.
7:00am - I go to work, drop off my daughter to her daycare.
7:15am - I see nothing but morons on the street trying to drive to work. I display a tad bit of road rage.
7:30am - I walk through the door at work, and my boss is already asking, "Where's the coffee?" I mumble some incoherent words under my breath.
4:30pm - I leave work, and I discover that some one has stolen my precious antenna ball. Like they can't go to Jack In The Box themselves!
4:45pm - I still see morons.
5:00pm - I picked up my daughter and she asks, "Mommy, where's the antenna ball?" Tried to explain how the antenna ball magically grew legs, jumped off the antenna of our car and ran away.
5:15pm - Start cooking dinner, knowing that my daughter has already changed her mind about what she wants to eat about 8-10 times. So, I bar-b-que chicken, sautéed squash, salad, and garlic bread.
6:15pm - Clean the dishes.
6:30pm - Watch a movie, of course Disney movies are the best.
8:00pm - My daughter goes to bed!
8:01pm - I take 2 Excedrin.
8:05pm - My daughter thought it would be cool to have a bedtime story.
8:30pm - Finish bedtime story. Realizes that Goldilocks is nothing but a thief! Breaking and entering, broke others possessions, stealing food, and has the tenacity to fall asleep in the same house.
9:00pm - Check email and signs on to Yahoo! Answers
......and the night isn't done yet......

That would depend on what feeling I would have to contribute. I feel, just as you do, but whether or not we feel the same is debatable.

If you feel with your sense of touch, then I do.

I don't know, I feel tired, so if you also feel tired then yes.
