Is it normal want to "steal" people's experiences?

I'm not quite sure how to explain this.

I want to take people's experiences, like I want to experience what they do. I don't know the details of how I would even do it (I'm aware it's 100% impossible). I imagine that I would either turn into them for a short time, or I would be invisible, watching them experience it right next to them. Ex. I would become the person, I would look like them, but I would have my own mind.

And I'm not talking about dramatic experiences (Ex. bungeejumping/skydiving). I mean all kinds of little things. Like relationship stuff, interesting/funny everyday occurrences.

"Steal" sounds bad, but it's true. I want to rip the experience away from them and have what they have. Feel what they feel.

IIN?

Serious answers only, please...

        Wanting to experience what other people experience. I think it would be beautiful...I wouldn't want to rip the experiences out of them, more like enter their mind and see things from their point of view and watch what they are doing from inside their mind.

        I think it would be more enjoyable if it was a bonding experience between two people. Like, you can enter my mind, feel what I feel, and maybe you will understand me better.

        Hopefully that all doesn't sound like nonsense.

    I've never felt that way so I can't say it's normal. It sounds like you are very jealous or envious of other peoples lives, is this true? And if so and this bothers you, maybe you can supplement this want with your own experiences.

      Yes, I am. The problem is I think none of my experiences will ever compare to other people's. Theirs will always be deeper/better/more meaningful somehow...
