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.
