Thinking about the inner monologue NPC thing. My inner voice just sounds like thoughts and in fact I like to do voice recordings so I can get the thoughts out into the air. Am I an NPC? I definitely do not hear an extra voice. I mean I never feel like I'm listening to my own head

I guess what I need to know is what does the inner voice sound like to you?

My own voice. As you can hear songs just imagine yourself having an argument/thought process in your head like any other kind discussion with another person except this conversation is just you speaking with you.

I say what usual people just think

Congrats on your autism.

Am I an NPC?

I am not convinced that a lack of inner monologue is proof of NPCdom. Why? Because spelling things out sounds like a very inefficient way of thinking, it has a bitrate problem.

A control question: Did you buy a fidget spinner during the fidget spinner craze some years ago? That would be a bad sign imho.

How else do you think about complex items and what if's without language. I'm not saying you use language exclusively for thought, but.. Sit there, and try to plan something complex out, without using language.. I'm not talking hearing an inner voice, i mean no language.. try it, it's exceptionally hard to do anything other than react to what's going on at the time. What if scenarios are very difficult
