Finn is saying "you" because it makes it easier to talk about the negative experience he encountered. It's a way of indicating that these kinds of negative experiences can happen to anyone while also reflecting on that negative experience yourself. Ex: You win some battles, you lose some battles. Ex: You just can't trust anyone these days. Ex: Love will tear you apart.
