Resonate with…

More and more, I’m hearing the phrase “I resonate with…” when discussing a thing e.g. a poem.

Surely, it’s the thing, the object - in this case, a poem - that resonates with the person, not them resonating with it.

Or am I wrong?

Dr Rangan Chatterjee says this all the time and it makes my teeth itch, even though I love him.

You are right.
