Knowing what a person is like and knowing a few
bits of information about them isnt the same as knowing
everything about what it's like to be them or live their life, since it would
still be your point of view of what their shoes are like to walk in. Without being somebody else, theres no way to walk in their shoes. The same is true when you
ask somebody else to walk in your shoes, theres no way for them to
do it without being you. They dont have enough information to encapsulate you and your life any more than you have enough to encapsulate them and their life. Really, being yourself is what you know and understand, but whether you still choose to try and be someone else, or think with their brain instead of your own is up to you.
