I'm actually starting to accept I'm likely not the main character, but rather a simple NPC in life, and I'm actually starting to love it. Like I can get away with pretty much anything. I could scream like a psychopath in the middle of Walmart, get away with it, and that's completely fine. I could also call someone a fat basic bitch IRL or online, and that's fine too. People would just consider me crazy. Like I literally have all the freedom in the world. A big million/ billionaire has to play a specific role, and can't truly be real or their reputation would be ruined in a second. Like imagine millions of people just watching you, and just waiting for you to fuck up to cancel you then flock your flaws like a bunch of bloodthirsty vultures. An NPC doesn't have to worry about any that. Imo we are the ones truly free of the control of human society.

What do you think? Do you consider yourself the main character, or an NPC in the grand scheme of this life.

They say main character like it's a bad thing. Honestly, if they made another bad movie about Robin (of the Batman comic), would people even watch that. I'm more of a private, rich inner life kind of person. Though you really can get away with anonymity and live alone for 50 years in this day and age.


I would watch a spinoff about Barnacle Boy

We're all NPCs in the grand scheme of life. We're main characters only in our own life.
That's kind of the best part though right? Like imagine the billionaires or celebrities trying to pretend and play it cool.
Meanwhile we could literally run naked through a Walmart and still go to our miserable job tomorrow.
Isn't that great?

But why would you want to run naked through a Walmart anyway? They have privacy when they go home to their mansion.. smh

Besides the fact they wouldn't go to a Walmart in the first place, they couldn't. Depending on the main character they would get bombarded by people, or even assassinated.

My main point above everything else is you give up a specific type of personal freedom to be the main character. Think about it. Even for someone like me who has strange and unique hobbies would have to give up some of things I love just to matter to the rest of humanity. Like if I wanted to do politics or even draw in the crowd the fact I own 37 different turantula species would instantly get me soft locked.

I don’t know if my job would be intact if I run through Walmart naked. 😅

I'll make it known I did say this, yet 100% don't remember talking about running through Walmart naked whatever. So now I'm here trying to improvise for the shit I said, which I don't remember whatsoever lmao!

I can still argue for my own stupid forgotten point though. For example if you did run through Walmart naked, and your job tried to fire you, you could simply say it wasn't you. If that doesn't work just accept it and find a new job and one day maybe decide to run through Walmart naked again. That is the beauty of an NPC. This is a phrase from a real oracle I met in real actual life who said "One cannot be cancelled in life unless one accepts being cancelled in the first place."

True words of wisdom imo.
