How is force felt at relativistic speeds?

Hello mate here is your answer.
Assume that 'feeling of a force' is due to a physical activity - like the pressure acting on a surface. I think because there is no way to differentiate between two inertial frames of reference (axioms of SR/GR), even when you go at relativistic speeds, the feel of the force should be the same. In other words, if you had a different feel, for the same force applied, in the 'rest' world vs 'moving' world, you could differentiate between the two worlds - a contradiction.
Hope it helps you.

A passenger feels the same force pushing her at both speeds. Let us transform that force to rail frame: It's just the same force in the rail frame.
