when someone says that, they mean that they either 1., said the sentence that follows the "like", 2., thought the sentence that follow the "like", or 3., did the action described in the sentence that follows the "like".

When people say "I was like 'No you didn't!' " It means "I said 'No you didn't!'"
When people say "I'm like so not happy!", It means "I am really not happy"
Sometimes "like" is just a filler word that could be dropped and have the same meaning.
I think the origins of "like" in the form probably start with something such as "I was like this" and then describe or act out the scene. It later was just shortened to "like".

what you heared ``im like____``... they mean they look like _____
in using the word like in a sentence it change just like this
*i`m like my bestfriend. MEANING she has a similarity with her bestfriend
*i like to eat this banana. MEANING she wants to eat banana
do you get it? or no? just sharing my knowledge.
