Put yourself in my shoes = imagine you are me, and try to understand things from my perspective.

In case you don't know, s.b. stands for "somebody".
This sort of shorthand has become prevalent since the introduction of mobile phones and text messaging. You should not use it in any formal English, unless you are writing about text messages.
