Default Re: I can relate to

Thank you very much for your answer.
Here is one of the definitions of 'understand' quoted from an online dictionary:

[to know how someone feels or why they behave in a particular way

Sometimes I don't understand James.

You don't understand what it's like/how it feels to have to beg on the streets]

What's the difference between relate to and understand here?
eg: Sometimes I don't relate to James.
