Have you ever suspected that more than a few of your friends, family, and co-workers are NPCs? Now you can determine if they truly are.

I sometimes wish I could get my inner voice to shut the hell up. Or at least to maybe be a little more flirty from time to time.
Your inner voice sounds an awful lot like a wife, to me.
My inner voice is that of VOWG. Occasionally it slips past the guards and becomes my outside voice to the amusement of my children and close friends.
I think that he should belabor the obvious even more and talk even more slowly and drag out his intro even longer to improve the selectivity of the people watching his videos even more. I couldn’t get through it, as it was, personally, but. I think some people are actually finishing it still.
I used to watch his videos, but his boring pretentiousness finally got to me. This is the first one I’ve seen in 2 or 3 years and I was reminded of why I stopped.
Me too. PRETENTIOUS. He speaks from a high height … in his mind’s eye.
My inner voice is uncontrollably my outer voice. That’s why I’m never invited to parties anymore.
The source of the NPC meme is video games, but they inherit it from tabletop roleplaying games. Now, you’d think that in a game form that requires the players to essentially improv a Lord of the Rings character, that player would be able to at least have an inner voice?
No.
The reason I abandoned the hobby was the disturbing, ubiquitous inability of every person I played with to respond to any fictional situation except by spouting movie quotes. Monty Python if they were d’un certain age, Lord of the Rings or Adventure Time or Futurama or Rick & Morty if they were younger.
I’ve never seen a more crashing disconnect between the skills necessary to play a game and the people who actually play it. It would be like watching the wheelchair rugby league or something.
Lol.
You must be raised by parents who teach to question the world around you. Teachers will never teach this and if you strike out on your own they will strike you as out. Be prepared to live that different drummer. When the lowest common denominator became educational policy leading to an even lower level of aspiration by students none should be surprized at the ‘dumbing down’ making Sheeple a majority. Many times I’ve been told by young kids and adults that reading was too difficult and in their next breath uttering a platitude on ‘critical thinking’ or ‘manufactured consent’. They think by chanting these phrases they are included in the ‘self-aware’ group, the Cool kids. I estimate the degree of independent thinking as revealed by the frequency of catch phrases, slogans, and the repeated mumbling of group think concepts. It doesn’t mean you must be an original thinker on every topic. Just a person who can tell when they hear the B.S. alarm ringing and not become deaf. If you read this you are allowed to caution me on my use of cliches, catch phrases etc.revealed
I saw my primary job as a father and husband was to provide the inner monologue for all the family members, until such time as their inner monologue is challenging mine, at which point the task is complete.
That explains a shit ton.
I think I would cease to function without an inner voice.
My girlfriend says sometimes my lips are moving and that I look insane.
“You don’t know the half of it” is my inner voice response.
