Yep.
The term “NPC” stands for “Non Player Character”, which implies someone not being a conscious player. That’s the whole difference. If someone does not play the game consciously then they are a “NPC” because the game (the system / the matrix) decides for them according to game templates how to behave.
The more conscious awareness and free will someone develops, the more consciously one starts to play and turns from a “NPC” into an “Active Player”.
Being a NPC or an Active Player says nothing about your value as a soul.
Calling someone a “NPC” is more of a cringe than a try to devalue someone.
It is cringe because NPCs mostly follow the most cringy behavioral patterns.
The oversouls who programmed this game have a weird type of humor.
Now in a venting thread this meaning of a NPC becomes mixed up with the release of personal negative emotions. This is the case because the main function of the Venting Thread is to release a negative emotion, isn’t it?
The verbal release of the negative emotion can be packaged into any scenario. It can be a vent about NPC’s or Ananas on Pizza or bureaucratic governments – it does not matter, because all these verbal stories are just the packaging around the main function, which is to release a negative emotion.
Folks who don’t understand this, should stay away from the Venting Thread completely.
