If you pay attention during most interviews, speeches, and conversations these days you notice that too often people are speaking from an inappropriate and unconsciously manipulative form of second-person point of view. When you are aware of it, you experience them project their existence on to you as though you could have no other perspective of what will or has occurred other than the one they are having. You get the feeling like you're being injected into someone else's reality against your will. Often, because it has become such a normal and acceptable way of speaking, you don't even notice it is happening. If you build awareness around it you will start to observe not only when others are doing it, but you catch yourself in the act as well.

Enough said???
Mmmmmmaybe one little bit of extra commentary...
It is my request to all fellow humans that we become more conscious of how we are speaking with each other. I invite everyone to bring awareness to their own patterns of speech, adjust accordingly, and have the courage to gently and diplomatically call this out in others. Language is a tool to be respected as, without caution, it can easily be turned into a weapon.
