How to express this kind of feeling?

Well, for example, i saw my best friend's boyfriend flirt with some other girls, though he's not my boyfriend and i have no feelings for him, i got mad. Simply because i put myself in my best friend's shoes, thinking "if my boyfriend's doing like this, i would pissed off".

I know it's called empathy, but can i say "i feel angry for her"? like, feeling angry "on behalf of her"?

Hi Yes, you can definitely say "I feel angry for her". Empathy is a good word there but also you can say: I identify with her. I know how it would feel if I was in that situation Dave
