Picking Others?

So, the other day I was standing by my uncle. For some reason I bumped my arm against his and noticed he had a scab on his arm. For some reason I really wanted to pick it, with the same amount of desire that I want to pick my own scabs, if not more. Luckily I resisted. About a year or so ago I had a cat who had scabs on her ears and I picked those off of her, instead of repressing the feeling. Has anyone ever felt this way?

Oh gosh. I have the hardest time NOT picking at scabs. My oldest cat Nebi is about 16 and I'm always picking at her sbas and pulling them off, it so hard not to and I'm beginning to think its a serious problem. And I'm always picking at zits and pimples Especially on other people because I feel like I HAVE to do it.
