I feel like / feel that I can achieve it.

Do you agree that 'feel like' and 'feel that' have the same meaning and 'feel that' is a bit more definite?

For example,

I feel like I can achieve it.

I feel that I can achieve it.

I have already found a thread on it and asked the same question before but it was not that clear to me so I would like to finalize it with you here. Could you help me out please?

Thank you so much in advance.

Thank you and then how about feel as if / though S +V and feel that S +V? Anyhow, there is not much difference in meaning, right?

Hans51how about feel as if / though S +V?
A sentence, please. I am not good at reading code.

I feel like / as if / as though / that I can achieve it.

I am sorry but I thought feel like is more informal than feel that but as if and as though are used for the same meaning as feel like, right? So I think that there is no meaning difference between feel that and feel like (as if, as though) except that they are informal, right?

Right, the meanings are the same.
