Do you prefer first person or third person in books?

Do you prefer first or third person? Does it depend on the genre? Is there something you hate about either of them? I‘m trying to write a book and I have no idea what perspective to write it in. Both work for what I‘m writing but I actually don’t know what I myself prefer and I don’t really have any friends who read so I thought I‘d ask here :)

What stereotypes do I need to avoid?

I‘m a really young writer and I‘m not sure if there are any stereotypes I‘m not aware of that could be offensive. I would be grateful for any advice

I once asked this a while ago and the answers were absolutely amazing, so I’m bringing it back for round two. If you could “curse” someone with a minor inconvenience, what would you choose?

Rules:
• No physical harm in any form, including long term or indirect effects
• No life ruining consequences or anything that significantly disrupts someone’s well being or daily functioning
• No medical issues, pain, injury, or anything that escalates into real harm over time
• It can be a one time inconvenience or a recurring one, but it should stay mildly annoying rather than impactful
• Nothing extreme like bodily function sabotage or anything similar

Note: Abusers and other genuinely horrible people are excluded from the no-harm rule. Do whatever you want to them.

First of all I‘m not asking for a diagnosis I already have a doctors appointment scheduled. But I want to hear some opinions mostly to see what others think. So I suspect that I might have POTS or another similar condition. The strongest most disabling symptom I have is that I feel light headed and dizzy when I‘m standing. It gets worse when its warm outside. I can walk just fine and I can manage standing without any mobility aids but sometimes I feel like I might faint if I can’t sit down or lean on something. Feel free to ask any questions if you need clarification. So do you think I should get a mobility aid and if yes which one?
