I need help because I am just not following through. I am a smart person but this is confusing. Give me some examples of other first, second, and third persons if possible

Them is third person.
English distinguishes three grammatical persons:
The personal pronouns I and we are said to be in the first person. The speaker uses this in the singular to refer to himself or herself; in the plural, to speak of a group of people including the speaker.
The personal pronoun you is in the second person. It refers to the addressee. You is used in both the singular and plural; thou is the archaic second-person singular pronoun.
All other pronouns and all nouns are in the third person. Any person place or thing other than the speaker and the addressed is referred to in the third person.

It really depends on what I'm thinking about, but rarely if ever do I think in the third and mostly I think not directly about me i.e. "perhaps using a treehashmap would be more useful than a linked list"....

It's a third person plural pronoun.

The first person singular is I or me eg.I hate homework
The second person singular is You. you hate homework.
The third person singular is he/she, him/her He hates homework.
OK. Then we get on to the plurals
First person plural is we or us
Second person plural is "you"
Third person plural is "They or them.
hope this helps.
