Second person point of view... Of course. Duh.
I suppose I didn't recognize it because usually when I think of Second person point of view, what comes to mind is something akin to reading the commands in an assembly manual. With somebody telling someone what to do.
And the intention behind that kind of writing and the one I was imagining is different, where I am not so much trying to command or speak to the reader directly, but rather lend the reader a sense of doing / participating in the story themselves. But I can see now what you mean. Its not different enough to call it something else, .

The mind has a momentum to it.
If it has spent the last few weeks in a depressed mood. That is, you have accepted as a fact the idea that you "should" feel bad, such as in an effort to show empathy to your wife, and you did this consistently for some period of time. You will suddenly find that that mental pattern or habit is stronger and more present in your life now. To remedy this situation you must stimulate your mind with elevating experiences or thoughts for a while... That is, expose yourself to positive stories, people, and environments. Surrounding yourself with happy people will make you happy, and surrounding yourself with nature will also help. A good workout where the focus is on feeling alive, massage, and stretching can quickly release the tensions held in your muscles and which support the mental pattern/momentum that your mind is currently in. An attitude of "things might not be just as I would wish, but I'm going to have fun and enjoy life anyways." needs to be perpetually cultivated in all of our lives, for our mind to remain positive and thus be able and ready to help us do the things we wish it to do.
I have learned this from my own challenges in life, and I hope it helps...

Topic: Zero point of view story? (3 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Has anyone read/written a book or story with a "zero point of view"? (I'm totally just making up this phrase)
Example:
...
You walk down the steps and find a dark cavern, and suddenly recall that you forgot to turn off the burner on your stove.
"Shit." You say to yourself in frustration, realizing that you'll have to come back later."
...
Something like that... LOL
Is this a thing? Is their anyone writing stories like this?
Or is the whole thing avoided due to the difficulty in the writing?...
