   I don't think so.  I believe it's a form of narcissmism.  Here me out.   
      
   I've encountered many people over my years that made mistakes in their lives.    
   But rather than admit that they made a mistake and atone for it, they want YOU   
   to make the same mistakes that they did.   
      
   I wondered for a long time as to "why?"  Normal people would warn others.    
   "Don't do that.  I did that and regretted it."  But these types of people   
   actively want others to make the same mistakes that they did.   
      
   I finally realized that it's a form of narcissism.  These people can't admit   
   that they made a mistake.  Then if they get you to make the same mistake their   
   decision is validated as "the right thing" because "that happens to everyone."   
      
   Sometimes these people can get really out there.   
      
   There was a couple (let's call them Bill and Veronica) who my wife and I were   
   friends with before we were married.  After we were married, Veronica was   
   pushing my wife and I do to things that would be considered unfaithful to each   
   other.   
      
   Come to find out that Veronica had made those mistakes in her past, with the   
   expected poor results.  When we confronted her about this, she tried to justify   
   her past actions and continued to push us.   
      
   Needless to say, the friendship ended.   
      
      
   ... I may have settled in shipping.
