Doesn't “feel like” also mean to believe, suppose or suspect something to a moderate extent, as to have a sense of presence (“notice”, “be aware of”), or to state a prediction (“feel certain about”, in future tenses)? Where it “seems like” (something is true) apart from meaning to resemble oneself (as something) or to have a desire (to do something).
