Are you an NPC?

If you are familiar with RPG like Dungeons and Dragons, you will probably understand that NPC means Non-Player Character. You know, the stock characters whom you encounter when trying to complete your quest. They speak pre-programmed lines, and you only half-listen to them, just wanting to push forever.
Seems like it has morphed over to the real world. Some of us who feel like cogs in a system feel the weight of powerlessness crushing upon us. No matter how hard we try to hustle, we can’t seem to advance because our existence as background characters has rendered us invisible from the start.
Do you feel like this? Or do you exude main character energy?

I think we're all NPC at some point, depending on who the main character is, i'm a main character in someone's quest and an NPC in another i think But mostly i see myself as an NPC

Becoming financially free by the means of Bitcoin is helping me becoming less of an NPC. Meditation is another way to reduce being an NPC.

I consider myself a self aware NPC, I find myself saying NPC things, doing NPC things from time to time, sometimes it's needed because the alternative would be pointless, like not speaking in a corporate tone at work, other times I catch myself and then sit in the car, and look at myself in the mirror and think why am I like this?
I think main character energy is just another form of NPC option to keep you sedated.

Most humans in a system have to be npcs by default, I think, but just because someone isn't Dan Blizerian or something, doesn't mean they have to be depressed.
imo, most people with 'main character energy' are just extroverts.
i like that saying someone has 'main character syndrome' is now a form of insult though, because it does sum up certain types of people who think the world revolves around them
