First Person vs. Second Person

Very helpful, thank you!

If I stayed consistent with second person, I fear it might sound like the author’s telling the reader how to feel, rather than something more personal.

This is a major reason I write in first person. I don’t want to tell people how they should feel. Nor do I ever want to give them choices where they would go “I wouldn’t do either”.

But wouldn’t writing it in first person also feel like the author is telling me (as first person) how to feel? I think both works.
