By definition, first person means the speaker/narrator, second person means the listener/reader, and third person means everybody and everything else.

As far as you are concerned, you are the first person.
As far as I am concerned, you are the second person if I'm talking to you, third person otherwise.

Comparison
first person is a story told by I........right?

third person is a story told by someone else.

I have a colledction of stories told by first and third.It is a manuscript
which will become a book. This is hard for me since I have had over 400
articles published in first person.
It is confusing.

2nd person is you talking to someone else...using the words for an example like "you"

3rd is you talking about someone else...using the words like "she/he"
